Since Portugal is in Schengen, if one does his visa with Portugal (D7 visa seems very easy for any American retiree to qualify based on Social Security alone), but actually lives elsewhere in Schengen, would the Portuguese government even know? Contrary to the visa by investment program, a D7 visa holder is expected to live in Portugal. I guess their rationale is if one doesn't bring in a big chunk of money on day one, he should at least spend money there all year round.

not necessarily if you are skilled, talented and creative that is where your greater opportunity comes from. It is plenty of retirees from America and Canada retired in The Philippines and even some young Americans from America living long term in The Philippines, and they all went there with average money. Most of them have started their own businesses, they figured what The Philippines was lacking and or what a lot of local people were demanding and are meeting their demands and satisfying their interest and now some of them are making a couple hundred U.S dollars a day. I tell people this all the time when it comes to Asian countries and Middle Eastern countries even in small European countries you don't need a lot of money, your skills, talent, knowledge and creativity can be the solution to create the opportunities that you want for yourself. I remember in one of Andrew videos when he told us he used to work at a restaurant in The United States a long time ago so it isn't always about the money with some people greater amounts of money comes sooner and quicker than others for those that it doesn't you will have to utilize your own skills, talent, knowledge and become more creative to get the outcome that you want out of life.

Here you get taxed like a nordic country with the quality of life and public service efficiency of a third world country. Bureaucracy is shit. The city center of Lisbon is falling apart, a whole avenue and streets in the city center have been given to immigrants, if you go there you won't find a single Portuguese person, it smells like piss and shit, LITERALLY, there's trash and homeless everywhere in the streets there. I know this video is for retirees but, Portugal isn't a place to do any kind of business, the Portuguese mindset is that of a poor, state relying, envious piece of shit that would rather harm themselves if it meant it harmed you as well.

Portugal WAS a viable option, the biggest gripe is that it became so popular because of its low cost of living, affordable housing that it became a problem for the population. I have co-workers and friends in Portugal, and the natives can no longer afford housing, it went from a regular 100K usd home price to 400K for a hole-in-the-wall over 10 years. This made the population recent the influx of a new population rather than the welcoming nature of the Portugese citizen. Salaries are still low there, which makes it a very attractive place to move your business to, but the housing cost and rising cost of living is a problem. For a country with a lot of sun-hours you'd belive they'd have an excellent electrical infrastructure, but no - the rules and regulations makes everything cumbersome and you'll find electricity being very expensive there as well.

Malta is English speaking due to being a former UK colony. It has the Mediterranean climate and lots of food variety. For later in life there are assisted living facilities, something which is not found in most other European countries. Not that hard to qualify for residence. Another surprising possibility is Switzerland for non-lucrative visa long term residence. Not too hard to qualify financially if you have above ~ $3,900/mo. passive income. The kicker is high cost of real estate, but the payoff is some of the best quality of life on planet earth, and English is almost universally understood and spoken. My #1 choice.

I work in Malta every winter for around 7 months and have done since 2012 and while it used to be somewhere I would have considered for retirement it wouldn't even factor into the equation anymore. An overheated property market, crazy levels of immigration, rising crime and overcrowding/traffic and very little in terms of biodiversity/outdoors things to do other than go to the beach due to it's small size make it somewhere that I feel would become claustrophobic in a very short space of time. Not to mention it's one of the most corrupt countries in the EU. I have a home in Portugal and while the comments regarding bureacracy are on point (it's a nightmare) and taxes aren't the lowest I balance that against the low cost of living, the wide varieties of natural environments to enjoy, the very friendly people and low cost of housing if you look outside the major cities/ex pat areas and it still ranks as somewhere that's worth retiring too, particularly if you enjoy a simple, quiet life away from the excesses of modern western culture.

To think retiring in Spain as a whole ist wrong. There are many places with different vibes and lifestile. For example, the island of Ibiza is the worldwide capital of electronic music, super-rich people and drugs, because it was a hippies-island in the 70'. Marbella in the South is for showing money and luxury but the island of Mallorca is quiet luxury and it's like a German state. The island of Menorca is for rich families who want peace. By the way there are different languages in Spain, so in Ibiza, Mallorca, Menorca, all Cataluña (Barcelona) and Valencian comunity they will speak Catalan. In the North there is the vasc region and they speak vasc, and in the Northwest there is Galicia were they speak a kind of mix between Spanish and Portuguese. One place growing attention is the south of the south, next to Atlantic beaches, next to Chiclana de la Frontera, very quiet, sunny and cheap.

Ireland? Up to 30% of their population is Muslim migrants, a lot of them military aged males. They burn churches down and it will get worse before it gets better. As a Eastern European I can assure any wealthy American that after the novelty of moving to a Eastern European country quickly wears off you will find yourself in a place that isn’t nearly as welcoming as you thought it was and missing a lot of things from back home. You will be bringing with yourself the exact problems that made your home turn undesirable for retirement in first place, to your new home. Sure if you are wealthy enough you can create a bubble, but bubbles pop and do you really want to live in one? Maybe you do, but if you fail to create a bubble at home what makes you think you can create one in a foreign country? . I have followed Andrew for five years now and read his book. He paints a picture for his business but leaves out a lot of pesky little details about the locations he suggests or favors. I know because I’ve lived on three continents with several passports and have traveled probably nearly as much as him.

I retired in the SE of Ireland from Seattle 4 years ago and never looked back. It is somewhat of a homecoming for me as I was born in Dublin but left as a young child. I think if you have the money to buy a home and have a decent enough monthly income 4k plus and that is living outside Dublin then you’ll be fine financially. Preventive health care is practically non existent and routine care is mediocre even with private health insurance, if you have a terminal illness or an emergency situation the care is excellent. Other services ie. restaurants, tradesmen, transportation just general choices are much less than the US. All that said we still love our life here and have met amazing people who we now call friends.

Also, the Govt. keeps changing all the laws, tax laws included, too often, so you may not know where you stand from one day to the next. The people in the country are getting poorer, and guess what that leads to... Also,laws coming from the woke culture are introduced gradually. All this comes from decisions of the EU.

Although Brazil is the only country in S. America that speaks Portuguese, one should take note that Brazil alone is HALF of S. America either by territory or population! Most of the Spanish-speaking countries there are tiny. If the Spanish-speaking country you are in doesn't meet your need, you need to deal with a different bureaucracy when you cross the border. Brazil is big and diverse enough, eg. they have regions that are quite German, that if one region doesn't suit you, move to another region, but you don't need to deal with immigration all over again.

pension, taxed? pension should not be taxed. pension is not income from work, but rather a social benefit from government (even if it's from your own money you paid during your working years). or at least, it is in my country in EU. pension itself was once a tax going into pension funds, which was - not paid to me but paid to people receiving pension currently, and my pension will be paid from people working at the time i have retired (it's quite like a ponzi scheme); and government kept investing those pension funds but it didn't work quite like 401K in US (i actually don't know, only assuming) - it didn't result in increased pension, but rather that money went to other needs of the gov. if such pension would be taxed, that would be really unfair. there are a lot of people receiving pensions - and growing - and they all are avid active voters, but if voting wouldn't help, i can only imagine the chaos they could do if they banded together and would protest it. or, you know, do some other things en masse - anything en masse has a potential to disrupt anything.

Hi, So we have UAE residents and are based there for tax, we also have properties in France and the UK. We rent out the places in the UK and pay tax on them there, the property in France is a ski chalet, so good for winter and part of the summer. We are looking to keep our tax residency in UAE, we have golden visa so are good indefinitely. We are looking to retire, so plan to spend more time in France and potentially buy another place in a different country to avoid being stung there for tax. Would it be possible to get residency in France or another Schengen country and split between say Tuscany, Val d’isere and Abu Dhabi each being around 4 months per year. We are British passport holders.

Would you consider making a "Why I'm not moving to ..." series? For example, explain how Japan is cool and all, but their taxes suck. Hence explaining why you're not moving to Japan. Also, you could comment on whether they're business-friendly. Or how about Norway: Again, very high taxes (and weather) including a nasty wealth tax. And if you stay for 10 years, it's going to take you 3 full years to leave their tax net... The benefits of such a video series is that people would be very annoyed, and this would drive some new traffic. I see you already made some episodes along these lines, such as "Why I didn't move to Bali" and "Four reasons I didn't move to Purto Rico" If you ever go to Tokyo, I highly uggesting Ginza on a weekend... "pedestrian heaven"... would make for a perfect scene on KZbin. I guess it would just be a waste to go there though if you aren't actually planning on planting any flags there. You can't really do much in Japan without a residence permit. It might go something like: "Japan is one of the coolest places in the world, but the taxes frankly could suck a golf ball through a garden hose :-)" The benefit -- and simultaneous problem -- is that millions of Japan lovers would get extremely triggered if you simply disregard their fantasy home. I'm personally a huge Japan fan and fluent in the language, but I can't justify living there because it would cost 30-40% in terms of income tax. That's 40k EUR per year or 3333 EUR per month just for me to exist there. That's not a fair price at all. Engagement and reaching new people ought to be through the roof if you cover Japan. Just my speculations, I don't actually know.
