Panama is really good. We pay no taxes on our property forever because it is registered as being under $125K. There are no taxes on any money made outside the country. Also we pay no Canadian capital gains taxes because we are non residents. We can buy stuff on Amazon tax and duty free if it's under $100. The only tax we pay is a 7% sales tax. One thing no one seems to mention is WHERE you live WITHIN a country is just as important as WHICH country you choose to live in.

I’ve lived in the UAE for close to 10 years and the lifestyle is hard to beat. Dubai in particular has most of the benefits of any other city (it’s multicultural, you have access to most of the shops and brands you have in the US or UK, as an expat you can have a very active social life or choose to live quietly). There are downsides of course, once the novelty of tall shiny buildings wears off you miss nature and a certain ‘quirkiness’ that you can find in other countries. That being said if you can live here and spend 3 or 4 months overseas to avoid the harsh summer heat, you can soak up all the nature and culture you miss during that time and return back to a very safe and very comfortable lifestyle. Also, it’s a great travel hub where you can take a long weekend trip to parts of the word like Africa, Seychelles or Maldives for a reasonably low price and quick flight.

I have been living and working in Nassau Bahamas for the past 6 years. The lack of income taxes notwithstanding, the cost of living here is very high. Food costs 2 to 4 times as much as the USA, as do most other things. Petrol is $4/gallon.The infrastructure is very poor. The roads are like the surface of the moon and there's flooding every time there's heavy rain. The crime rate is also high. As for taxes, there's a 12% VAT on most items. If you have items shipped from abroad, the tax duties can be as much as 50%. As the availability of many items in the Bahamas is lacking, you will have to frequently order items from abroad. Before the Bahamas, I lived in Abu Dhabi for 5 years. The UAE has the best infrastructure in the world. In 5 years, I never encountered a pothole. Crime in the UAE is almost non-existent. Of course, you never have to worry about rain, but there are sand storms and heavy fogs in the winter. As for shopping, anybody who says that money can't buy happiness hasn't been to the Dubai Mall. The UAE can easily satisfy the most rabid shopaholic. Keep in mind that the temperatures in the UAE can reach 50C (120F) in the summer. This could easily kill an old or unhealthy person. As I still own property on Rheem Island worth more than 1M AED, I could easily obtain an Emirati visa. However, I don't think the UAE is a good place to retire. I've decided to live in Armenia in the summers and Vietnam in the winters.

My retirement income is tied to the US, so I pay a ton of taxes there. Having said that I’ve retired to the Philippines as a widower. All my money is tied to US banks, and any consulting income (I still do a spot of work now and then) also goes into US banks. I pay zero Philippines income taxes on any of my US income. I moved to the Philippines, because I like the cost of living, the fact everyone speaks English, most people are Catholic (Christian values), everyone I have met is friendly, and so far my girl friend has treated me better than US women I’ve met. The only part about this “retirement” is the amount of paperwork involved in just the day to day US grind. My late wife used to do it while I was globe trotting around the world, but now I feel like I’ve inherited an unwanted job. The Philippines may be a cash society, but I get by with a minimal amount of paperwork...enough ranting. I need to be fishing.

I live in Abu Dhabi and personally feel both Dubai and Abu Dhabi are amazing cities to live in. English is an official language, about 88% of the population are expats from all over the world, and the people are very friendly. Abu Dhabi is identified in numerous studies as the safest city in the world, with Dubai not far behind. With the global diversity in cultures, you have the opportunity to get to know people from all over, including countries sometimes considered verboten, such as Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Syria, Beirut, etc. In doing so, you discover that people the world over have common core values. At their heart, all people want is just to live their lives in peace, and to make a better life for themselves and their families. Somehow, in the UAE, it just works.

Not sure that the UAE is a place where you want to plant a flag, if you are in Transit, sure, you can spend some time there, but to live there, you have to be willing to look the other way for a lot of things. First, the incredibly racist 2 way system, the fact that for employment, companies have 2 HR departments, one for Tier 1 Passports and the other for nationalities that are being taking advantage of (Indian, Nepalese, Bengali,etc) The whole country has been built on slave labor. Further, you could be an Arab speaker, lived in the UAE for 20 years, you will always remain a stranger, despite talks of the opposite, citizenship is never granted to people besides full Emiratis. These are few examples of how the system works over there.

Taxi drivers are fined 4 days pay for missing a day and so choose to work every day and have miserable lives with no time off. Dubai is probably the sex trafficking capitol of the world. Prostitution is rampant. Women are exploited on a grand scale. The great kings own wife and daughter tried to flee the country to get away from him. Whats there to do? If you have money you can shop until you drop, eat out, hire a prostitute and then do it again tomorrow. Summers are 120F plus everyday. Writing a bad check or going into debt will land you in prison with no rights. Western women who have been raped have been charged with sex crimes when reporting to police.

If you go to Google Maps you will be able to see what I mean. And in normal times, there are no border controls to go to Italy, for example (just 15 km from Monaco).

Oman is the 2nd largest Arabian Gulf state after Saudi Arabia. The capital Muscat has come on leaps and bounds over the last 10 to 20 years. It's got less of the international flavour as a City like Dubai for example, but it is still a very comfortable modern city to live in. There are also many more places to visit and see in Oman. While the UAE seems to be the go to place for most people, I personally think that Oman is a little bit overlooked.

Monaco is really a great place to have as a Autumn/Winter base for someone like me that actually likes having cold for Winter months. And 90% of the people that make Monaco obnoxious move out in October only to return in May. Restaurants get more civil, the roads are less congestionated so you can actually go fast into the hills, every single patisserie has room and is quiet and the French cities around Monaco are all deserted. Its my kind of place. Although this year I had to spend most of my winter months in the UAE, KSA and Kuwait because of friends inviting me over in I really love Monaco. EDIT: With airplane being the travel method of choice from Monaco you can get to Switzerland in half an hour, to Paris in one hour and to London in an hour-and-a-half. That's very hard to beat and the biggest problem for me when thinking of the UAE. When you finish all the partying and Cars & Coffee events in Dubai if you take the plane anywhere it takes a long time. I can go to London, get my measurements taken for some suits, have lunch at The Berkeley, go for some new bespoke shoes and shirts, have tea with some friends and be back in Monaco for dinner.

Prices and taxes had gone up pre-COVID in Dubai and AD. AD is the largest land owner and has all of the oil and gas. Dub. is still reliant on tourism, in spite of diversification. Dub. introduced higher charges on hotel rooms several years ago. The UAE as a whole introduced VAT (lower than Europe) several years ago. Rental contracts go up and down as the UAE gov't and Emirates govt's remove a rental cap. Accommodation quality is variable as developers have used cheap materials over the last decade (several fires in Dubai documented). Yes, if you have plenty of money, it's no big deal if you do your research. The UAE is not the frontier economy as 20 years ago where expats could earn staggering amounts as a salary, but nor is it tax free. Taxes are there but indirect. Yes, life can be stress free or as crazy as you want in UAE, or connect with the natives with camels and a picnic in the desert. It's up to you. Your white skin and money will gain you some respect and some freedoms. FYI, I lived in AD and Oman for 6.5 years (mostly AD and Al Ain) and visited Dub. from time-to-time until 2.5 years ago. Life got more expensive and salaries did not keep track with the locals.

I lived in the UAE, i travelled to few European countries then i moved to Sweden for the citizenship, comparing living in the UAE over Europe is legitimate, what i saw in Europe was way under my expectations and i would confidently tell you: if you are planning and have the possibility to obtain a European citizenship then it's fine to move, otherwise it's a huge mistake to come to Europe leaving the UAE if you are just planning to stay on temporary residency based on a job or a bussiness. The life style that you find in UAE is really not compared to any other place in the world, of course it's expensive but it worth it, not forgetting the numerous opportunities that opens to you in a multinational country like UAE.

It is, indeed, not easy to get citizenship. But fortunately you can get residency with a home purchase. Right now our winter residency is between Bahamas, Turks & Caicos.

While I agree with the concept of living tax-free, or as tax-free as possible, after living in the Middle East for 8 years, I WOULD NOT settle in the UAE. It's TOO HOT! And because it's focused on the higher investor community, it is more expensive than necessary. Plus, they're not very dog friendly and if my dog can't go where I go, then I'm not moving there. Now, with that said, the UAE is a fantastic place to visit. There is a lot to see and a lot to do but once you've done them, it's just TOO HOT. If you're ok with temps over 130F, and you're ok with spending more for less, then go for it.

Notably, governmental policies are great. I was awarded a 10 year golden visa based on my profession at a cost of $1k, so I feel really valued. All in all, great place to live in UAE, very cosmopolitian, extremely safe, the locals are very friendly. However, UAE is rather expensive. I would say it is even more expensive than the UK, where I come from. Also in summer months the heat and humidity are brutal, mostly from June to Sept; so vitually no outdoor activities unless they involve water. Real estate is not cheap either, I bought a modest one bedroom apt in a nice area of town at a cost of $170K. Plus lots of expenses, associayted with ownership. I think UAE is good as a base, but to spend significant time (esp summer months) in other countries: Turkey, Morocco, Lebanon, as well as the far east: Thailand, Malaysia etc. all of these are easily accessable from UAE.

Dubai is the LA of the Middle East. Abu Dhabi used to be much sleepier, but is now up and coming with many planned cultural attractions, including the Grand Mosque, a veterinary hospital for falcons (Emiratis love their sporting birds), the Louvre Abu Dhabi (Designed by French architect Jean Nouvel) and the National Museum (Designed by British architect Sir Norman Foster), and live international cultural events at New York University, Abu Dhabi. Other activities include excellent sailing, desert camping, driving in the dunes, and the mountains of RAK, in the north. (And, just beyond the border is Oman, with some breathtakingly impressive and rugged terrain.) Infrastructure, including highways is first rate, and there are several world-class hospitals. And if you want to travel, it has two major airports with many options, and is in a central location for easy access to Europe, Asia and Africa.
