8 Best Countries to Move to from the USA

[@lindadorman2869]

One thing people don't take into consideration is that countries change over time as well. When I was a corporate expat, the "hot" place to go was China. Not so much now. And 5 years ago, I wanted to retire to Malaysia. But since they've changed the MM2H rules, it's nearly impossible for the average retiree. Today Portugal is the popular destination. But the government is taking steps to limit immigration now too. I'll still leave the US for many reasons, but my choice of destination is evolving.

I have been living in and out of Thailand for 54 years. First as a backpacker learning about the country and its people. Came back 3 years later and used Bangkok as a base while working as a construction contractor for oil companies in the Middle East and Asia for 6 years (where else to spend your off time when you are in your 20s). Returned to America and bought land and built a home during my off time while still working international and still passing through Thailand. Started seeing the signs that America was heading in the wrong direction 14 years ago and sold my home and moved permanently to Thailand. Smartest move I ever made, reading the news every morning reminds me of that. Having lived and worked internationally all my working life made living in Thailand easy.

I've been roaming around Latin America for the last 6 months looking for a place to move from Canada. I moved my company to Ireland in August, but wasn't as impressed with the Irish lifestyle as in Latam. Uruguay is looking like the winner, the Spanish spoken there is quite odd (I learned mine in Chile & Perú) and it has much more of a 'small town feeling', even in the capital. The part of Uruguay I'm considering has no English, the second language there is Portuguese. Pretty much the entire country is accessible by bicycle (it isn't that big, and is pretty flat). Awesome airport and minimal hassle coming & going. Chile is the place with a lot of my clients, but I don't want to deal with the Chilean tax system. Perú -- no, just no.

Lots of opportunity if you want to do something business wise and an expat community that is reasonably well integrated in the day to day Uruguayen life.

Retire at the age of 40?! Please tell me how you do it.

[@karinaoliveira3988]

@@alexlim6300 so I have 2 muiltifamily properties that I bought in Massachusetts. One gives me $2,000 cashflow and the other $1,000 cashflow. So we have $3,000 cashflow from the properties and we also have some money giving us a high return every month of $950/month. I can retire in Brazil with $4,000/month dollars because the currency exchange is $1 dollar = $4.80 reais so close to $18,000 reais a month. I can retire in Brazil but not in the USA with this money. My plan is to buy more properties in Brazil and pay them off ASAP to live from the rentals. I am following the steps of my parents. They bought 3 multifamily here and 2 properties are paid off so their cashflow is a lot larger. And they have 19 apartment units in Brazil where they rent. So their cashflow is a lot larger because they accumulated a lot more of properties. I hope this helps

One clarifying note about Belize, lots of ex-pat entrepreneurs in their 20s, 30s, and 40s there from smoothie stands to massive real estate development, ex-pats have a presence. The 2 most significant problems with Belize and conducting business there are accurate information and functional logistics. While these areas have improved substantially there is still a long way to go. Belize is also relatively straightforward for eventual PR and citizenship it just takes time, but on that note, any of the CBI programs in the Caribbean would in most cases allow for residence in Belize through the CSME program under CARICOM.

Diversity kills. Diversity= Genocide of White people. Why must the US, Canada and Europe worship at the alter of “diversity”, but African, Latin and Muslim countries aren’t forced to be “diverse”. It’s only the “White” countries who must bow down to the religion of diversity. The USA is a dying country. Yes, it’s beautiful but our government is corrupt as Hell and the genocidal leftists control the “educational” institutions and our fake media. US schools teach how wonderful it is to groom children and to turn boys into girls. They also HEAVILY promote White genocide, thanks to that damnable Critical Race Theory which was developed by Nazis and Marxists at the Frankfurt School. The communist hellhole Columbia “University” is the epicenter of the Frankfurt School propaganda. US schools and Universities are among the worst in the world. Period.

I still remember the first time I went to Italy when I was about 20 and thought the pace of life was so slow there I could never live there.

If you are not making sizeable income, I think there could be some advantage to especially Americans moving to less tax favorable EU countries in the short term like a Luxembourg, Sweden, or Germany when they have a long term plan to build wealth and a patient timeline to accelerate their wealth building. There is a lot to be said for having an uncontroversial citizenship as a travel document if you plan to renounce and you may want to from time to time visit family in the USA. I mean no one at the IRS will think you moved to northern or western Europe to save on taxes and no one at customs is going to bat an eye when you return on ESTA waivers. I mean even if they ask why you are no longer an American and you can tell them after paying a 40 plus percent tax rate in Europe you really didn't want to have to deal with paperwork for Uncle Sam anymore especially when it made having a bank account in your new country harder, they are not going to be anything other than sympathetic.

BE WARNED!!! We lived there as a black American couple. The people were hilarious and opinionated about the US but separate the people from the government as long as you are respectful. The prices were good and there’s lots to do. The HUGE problem is the food.😬We moved there with 6 pack and left with kegs.🤣Such an underrated food destination and we were eating everything in sight. Be vigilant about minimizing the unhealthy indulgences but there are plenty of healthy options as well.

@@BWowed I literally just mean that you may get fat lol. We love Serbia.

I bounced back and forth between Belgrade and Tirana for a couple of years, waiting out COVID. I ended up getting residency in Albania, and it really wasn't close. Blloku, in Tirana, is very similar to the East Viĺlage/Tribeca area in Manhattan except that mere mortals can actually afford it. The scene revolves around sidewalk cafes which are everywhere. It is full of boutiques, with Max Mara, Karl Lagerfeld and Cavalli best represented, but with almost every middle and haute designer well represented. Virtually everyone speaks English and about 10% of the population is European and N. American expats. The local food is good, but Blloku has Burger King, KFC, Pizza Hut and Panda Express. It has a first rate American Steak House, and an Argentinian steak house, a couple of American sports bars with U.S. sports on multiple T.V.s. If you prefer suburban lifestyles, about 3 km S.E. of downtown is TEG which is a Western style mall. It is surrounded by gated communities with 3,000 to 6,000 sq ft villas and all the amenities. 30 minutes west of downtown is Shkëmbi I kavajës, which is a 1.5 km beach that is competitive with any place. The central sq km of Belgrade is nice and both Novi Sad and Niš are nice. But Blloku is something special.

Serbia and Croatia are the two European countries I "really love" and could live without question.

[@johnmarks5460]

@@marshallleo6589 Two totally different countries. Croatia is Catholic, member of NATO and European Union. Serbia is Orthodox, poor and under Russian influence and will stay this way for years to come, not a good choice if you want to live in Europe

I fallow a lot of bloggers on overseas living and it seems DR, Mexico, Panama and the Philippines seem the best. Especially if your a retired on fixed income. The dollar is stronger versus living in Europe.

What is your take on Guyana? I've been seeing a lot of news articles about the opening up of its offshore oil fields.

[@zachmunna7228]

I would totally love to move to Malaysia someday. I understand that there would be a language barrier and it will be difficult to learn their language, but I think the effort is worth it.

I've currently just obtained residency in Guatemala and it's a fantastic destination for me and my family - helps if you can speak a little spanish - some parts aren't so great, but around Lake Atitlan, there is a superb international community and very friendly and helpful mayan community locals - as far as I can see as the world ccollapses, this is one of the best places to get out of the way of the carnage - great all year round weather - don''t need fossil fuels for much at all - loads of fresh water, the land is very fertile and cheap, a local circular economy of loads of organic produce, minimum government intervention - tax free crypto trading - and good internet for global business - transport is a bit slow in places, but quality of life is excellent and its very safe here - loads of kids growing up together happy to be out on the local roads to shop etc and feel totally safe.

[@ciimoon5661]

[@johnandrade8473]
