4 Restriction FREE Countries People Don’t Talk About

[@tw9419]

It's refreshing to see some countries that are not introducing more and more measures. It's always fun to learn about new places. I'd like to see more videos like this!

[@flick4196]

An Aussie here.... please feel sorry for us lol. Looking for way out as we can't leave easily and without great expense. There is a charter flight out and a seat is $10k AUD. We want all our family out as if we split we may not be able to get back together for many years. Today for example in a major newspaper half the front page is a bold huge heading that says 'RED ALERT . this is about the new variant. Its absurd. I lost my 18yr job in education as I don't want 3 monthly jabs. We've gone from a very decent income to zero and no government help. Its insane. Thanks for all the info . It really helps.

[@cryptosecuritytools]

Im also Aussie. I was sad to read your post here. Thats terrible. I know people about to face that same situation. 'Dont come back to work until you've been vaxxed'. Its insanity. One thing we have going for us as Australians in very good visa-free travel options. Maybe you can't immediately organise a permanent residency or long term visa (not to mention citizenship elsewhere which can take time), but if you can get out of the country you have quite a few options to stay between 4 months and 1 year in different places. Maybe move around until you get the residency or long term visa that you want to apply for. When you say there is a charter flight for $10k, do they not require proof of vaccination of their passengers?

[@OffshoreCitizen]

Yeah really don't know what's going on in Australia back to the penal colony roots. And so much institutional trust with people totally clueless about what's going on in the rest of the world.

[@MrJimMac]

I'm in Australia too. Where are you looking to go?

[@kwajrod]

$10k AUD! Yikes! Can you charter a boat to PNG, Indonesia or Timor, and then fly out cheaper from there? Or fly cheaper to NZ then on from there?

[@Ww-wr1oo]

I'd say 10k is a bargain....😉

[@amrita49]

Kenya's goverment required mandatory vaccines for access to public offices, transportations, hotels etc, starting december 21st, but it was temporarily suspended by the courts. There's no information at all about "restriction free" in this video, just countries under the radar.

[@steviehandsome4712]

Phenomenal information, Michael. Highly appreciated. This is exactly the info I need! I’m considering all the free countries.

[@OffshoreCitizen]

Always happy to be of service :) What's on the top of your list?

[@Frank30642]

It’s Sad we have to really consider escaping from America

[@OffshoreCitizen]

Yes, exactly the opposite of what was happening for decades.

[@AKR088]

What are you talking about, you as US citizen are still lucky, because you can choose different states to live in and Florida is literally fighting the most to be free normal place to live in. Why can't you see that?

[@Crypteaksest]

moldova or montenegro - which one would you choose when it comes to covid restrictions and pro crypto taxes?

[@tw9419]

I'd say that Montenegro is a way better place to be. It's more beautiful, more developed, they're not crazy restricted (as far as I know).

[@moiaccaunt]

Moldova its a boring shithole, telling you like a person who was was living most part of my his in Moldova

Thank you for the informative video. I would love to hear your thoughts on incorporating in Mauritius.

[@OffshoreCitizen]

I did some videos on Mauritius a while ago you should be able to find them via search

[@TimCoulter]

A fascinating glimpse outside the usual nomad destination list. All your content is interesting and informative, but this piece is also inspiring us to take immediate action.

[@OffshoreCitizen]

That's the goal! Thank you for the support. What's your plan of action? :)

[@TimCoulter]

@@OffshoreCitizen Right now, we just need a vacation somewhere a bit warmer than where we are (Turkey). We usually spend the winter in Thailand or Bali, but they are both difficult to access at present. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, seems surprisingly accessible. Who knows, an unexpected holiday there may lead to something more long-term?

[@MrSeraphcorp]

Great content! Thank you so much! I was wondering if you could do a show on Americans that want to open a bank account overseas but don't necessarily want to travel in order to do so is this possible? Can you comment on this? Thank you so much for your time.

True! Sri Lanka... beach to Kandy and up in the hills by car takes forever! I think they've got a retiree 'my second home' visa too.

[@Amilakasun1]

they are building an expressive to Kandy. The first section will be opened on Jan 9th I believe. I think it'll be fully completed within two years.

[@ciaranolsen7617]

@@OffshoreCitizen Yeah 3 times for volunteering and travel, south/southeast/ southwest. It's a beautiful place. I can go do some filming for you if you want lol (I met you with my wife in Sophia). The best thing about Africa is the people are very friendly and want to be your friend and help you/ a true business adventure! Plus the animals that are fast disappearing, go and see them before there gone, its an absolute life must to see the great migration or a gorilla up close!

[@ericeverson5956]

Daniel Ortega just appointed himself dictator in Nicaragua. Just a heads up.

[@RC94332]

Keep the best kept secrets a secret please! Baku is awesome. One thing I would love for you to talk about would be the #2 cities in some of these countries we mention. I know a lot aren’t even noteworthy but you can usually find much better deals outside of the capital or main cities, though they come with trade offs of course

so are you taking your 4th and 5th booster shots in 2022?

[@SarasotaSupport]

Nicaragua seems interesting, Costa Rica is taking up to 2 years to get a celuda (government ID), is there anywhere - perhaps Nicaragua where a us citizen can get a Government ID? suggestions to investigate please?

[@dlukton]

Yeah, a government ID could come in handy for a US citizen who's trying to get an account on a cryptocurrency exchange (one that doesn't normally serve US residents); or for a US citizen who's trying to get an account with a money-transfer service (again, one that doesn't serve US residents).

[@OffshoreCitizen]

Fastest option in CR right now is the digital nomad visa. I did a video a while ago you can check out. In Nicaragua residency has been fairly easy

[@dlukton]

@@borisnegrarosa9113 the last civil war in Nicaragua was in 1927. (Perhaps you're thinking of El Salvador)

[@Orson2u]

Paraguay. Residency gained fast with a business or investment. But also with a few thousand USD (4,000) in the bank. Residency there even gives you the freedom to live and work in most of the rest of South America for up to two years at a time.

[@3blinds]

I'm thinking of checking out Armenia. Haven't been there yet but it's high on my list

Yeah it's an interesting country lots to like, just annoying about the relationship with Azerbaijan

[@sweetcanary3006]

thank you !

[@terrybaikie2181]

Reason Africa has less covid is because they have not had many vaccinations.

[@jimmccann3856]

Way back in January you hinted at doing a "country trajectory" video. (Did you do it, and I just missed it?) Highly topical as Bill Gates, Dr Fauci, Big Pharma et al are implementing a world-scale medical theocracy for profit and control purposes. This matters to your clients, does it not?

[@VERTICALWisdom]

Another awesome video with an interesting viewpoint on options and life alternatives. In my opinion, the value of personal freedom is just as important as taxation for without your freedom not much else counts. Ask the poor citizens of Australia redefining draconian restrictions.

[@ericeverson5956]

What shape is Zimbabwe in today? I heard someone is mining the gold fields? Is it the Zimbabwe people or is it the people who made the loans? Thanks much. Peace.

It's sad that our world has changed sop much that we are now talking about "restriction free" countries as places to "escape" to. I mean sure Moldova is "restriction free", whereas the EU has strict restrictions (even than in America). On the other hand, where'd you rather live, Moldova or EU? Is the 'trade off' really worth it?

[@overbuiltlimited]

We were considering Russia after retirement next year. My wife is Russian and I’ve been there several times. We were disappointed to see them impose mandates related to the unspecified virus of unknown origin. QR codes required to go to restaurants or even to ride the bus. Many employers requiring employees to get the jab. We’re hoping things change this year as it becomes more and more apparent that the sickness has been blown way out of proportion. Upside is that the country remains at a very low vaccination percentage and QR codes and vaccine paperwork to show that you have the jab are available for a price if you know where to look.

@@OffshoreCitizen I put a hyphen in front of and behind the work "had". It created a strikethrough I never saw until now. Just to be clear, I meant past tense.
