I think it's much better to compare Dubai with cities like Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, or Singapore...Hopefully gonna see a video on this in the future.

[@tuomaskiv]

Yes for sure those videos are coming

[@Coachchuateckguan]

Thanks for the this video I lived in dubai and loved it and am thinking of moving to Bali

[@globalasia3768]

South Europe I bought own apartment 25k€ and not need any visa or any extra expenses, and can travel by my cabrio BMW around EU so enjoying

[@danmur2797]

Neither. I would opt for Mexico, Chile, Uruguay, or Argentina. Culturally more compatible--socially liberal, secular despite Christian/Catholic background, etc. Plus those countries are not super hot 6/12 months like (dry) Dubai or (humid) Bali, due to variety of ecosystems from subarctic to tropical, within 1 country alone. There's some of the old European style infrastructure, architecture, and culture as well as brand new areas with skyscraper level apartments like Dubai, and at much lower costs than all these areas except for Bali. Easier to meet people with similar backgrounds, but still diverse, and no need to be cloistered in a westerner bubble.

in Mexico you have to pay tax the others are too cold or humid year long

[@danmur2797]

@Jewzi123 Chile has hot deserts, temperate Mediterranean climates, and subarctic. Santiago the capital is in that Mediterranean climate zone. Argentina, especially around Buenos Aires, is temperate climte akin to the south of France. But also has hot deserts to small sub tropical and sub artic. Uruguay like Buenos Aires. Mexico has relatively low taxes compared to western economies. Almost negligible.

Bali is very low level life , not comfortably, traffic can’t enjoy , and price in 2024 same like south of Europe

[@GalliWayno]

This is like comparing an apple with a Ferrari

[@biber9979]

And what do you think about family life. Which one is more suitable for a family life. I guess Dubai while not perfect is way better than Bali.

[@Kehua800]

If you have the money, then Dubai is the place for kids, just so much to do. But be warned traffic will drive you mad and there is no feeling to the place - I mean you don't get that local connection or the stroll down the street vibe to visit or favorite coffee shop or bar that has been operated by the same family for generations. Everyone is there for a period of time, eventually you will leave.

[@mattmaurer2277]

I enjoy your videos. Would Like to hear your feedback on the potential Tax Benefits that could come from Thailands new Destination Thailand Visa allowing a stay of up to 180 Days.

[@divyv20]

Hey Tuomas , very good video . I can do better editing in your videos which can help you to get more engagement in your videos . Pls lmk what do you think ?

[@Bayareasky]

Dubai- Dps is about almost 9 hrs That's far!

[@MizMundoAdventures]

There’s a freelance visa you can get in Bali for about $1200 which allows you to stay in Bali for 6 months and includes Tax. Do more research my friend.

[@tuomaskiv]

If you watched the video you would see that I talked about this visa in the video

[@MANCO513]

Hi & thanks. When u get visa in Dubai does it mean that u also get a passport? Or dubai only offers visa on ur home country passport?

[@tuomaskiv]

No, you don’t get a passport. Getting citizenship is always much more complicated & UAE doesn’t give out citizenships

[@fansmilitan2701]

If you want to find lots of oxygen, come to Bali to visit its natural tourist attractions 😁

[@HilloFX]

Are you personally only required to stay in UAE for 90 days a year to remain tax residency? Thanks!

[@tuomaskiv]

Technically yes but it’s more nuanced than that, I am making a video on this

[@user-zv6jt5zp8c]

Bali 💯

[@withpikachu2402]

Bali every time. Because I want to get wasted every weekend. I can't live like a nun in Dubai

[@shahzadkheros]

Why Dubai? It's freaking expensive

[@tuomaskiv]

Maybe expensive for you

[@TingShootingan]

Bali is not for INTROVERTS

[@joseferreira-me2sk]

As an introvert who lives in Bali i strongly disagree Bali is for everyone.

[@stevesphotostorePrivate]

Hey Tuomas,I sent you a DM via IG couple of days ago in relation to a business enquiry but looks like you didn’t pick up or it’s gone in to a spam folder - please reply asap as I am currently in bali as well?🙏

[@user-mq8ec5pz5o]
