Very good point. One example: in Spain it’s illegal to film or photograph police officers (whether you’re a foreigner or not). It’s also illegal to take a photo of someone without their permission, even if they’re out in public - the only exception being performers in festivals and the like. And even if you don’t know this kind of thing, the locals do.

If you’re visiting a country that’s thrives on tourism remember that your experience is being curated and doesn’t necessarily reflect the lifestyle of the people who actually live there. People get enamored not realizing that the whole localized economy is set up to make you feel welcomed and taken care of but is not a reflection of everyday life.

In general, if you have learn foreign language, it can be challenging in emergency cases or navigate legal and other things but doable. Best to stick with English speaking countries if you can and make sense to your situation.

I think the other thing to keep in mind, especially for those taking the FIRE track (which I couldn’t afford - I’m retiring after working abroad instead): by moving to an “affordable” country with the proceeds from selling property at overinflated US prices, we run the risk of exacerbating the very problems that cause local populations to not want us around. To me the prime example of this is not the Portuguese or Spanish golden visa programs, but the far more common scenario of moving on a D7, D8, or Digital Nomad visa, and putting several months or even a year’s worth of rent down in advance in order to “win” over others competing for the same property. This is out of reach for all but the wealthiest locals, and basically very bad manners. If you wouldn’t barge into a panadería and get in front of all the locals in line to get served first just because you’re a foreigner, don’t do the same thing when it comes to renting an apartment.

I'm so glad that you are having this discussion as there seem to be so many people out there these days who think that the grass is automatically greener on the other side of the fence, but haven't done serious research as to what kind of grass they might end up walking in. There is a lot of red tape with moving abroad as some close friends of mine of decades have done it. But, they're also in my age range and have decades of travel experience around the world and also moved at different ages. They were also going back and forth regularly to the countries in consideration, but while still working here to get to their early, mostly 50s retirement age. And throughout those years of still working here, they were learning the language of the countries that they were planning to eventually move to. Some even bought their overseas properties a decade or more prior to early retirement. Some people go on a vacation for a few weeks somewhere for the first time and then want to move to the place. 🤔 Fantasizing and not being realistic. I'm not saying that one shouldn't move overseas, but am saying that one really needs to look at the pros and cons and also at least try to know what one might be getting oneself into. And also be realistic about how one might be without having regular family connections and also try to think about how it might be when one is getting older and there are no close by family members. One can't expect friends and family members to continue to fly to wherever one has chosen to move to overseas in order to visit. I know some folks who were a lot older than I was at the time and who moved to Europe in their fifties when I was in my twenties and had lots of friends and some family members from here flying to visit them. But, there came a time when they got much older and the friends and family members were no longer able to keep flying to Europe to visit. One friend passed away overseas at age eighty after twenty-five years of living abroad solo. His adult kids and grandkids lived here. I would fly to visit him as well as one of his adult kids. As for myself, I'm female and in my sixties and have been traveling around the world, almost annually since I was seventeen, back in the early-mid seventies first during my university years. I have traveled totally solo since I was eighteen and back when all of the tech devices didn't exist. Hardcore travel. I've experiences a lot within the travel realm and spent months annually in one European country over a two-decade period and continued going there on and off into twenty nineteen. But, while going back and forth to that specific country, I also got up early every morning, biked an hour across town, and went to my intensive language school and learned the language of the country. As far as permanently moving overseas, that's not on my personal agenda. I had planned to eventually try to start spending around six months out of a year, three months per trip, in Southeast Asia and then the pandemic hit and I arrived back home less than a month before the Western World lockdowns in March twenty twenty.. I had been in Southeast Asia since the end of twenty nineteen. Although I've been on all continents except Antarctica, aside from being here at home, I vibe the most with Southeast Asia and have been to the region dozens of times since the late nineteen nineties.

Hi Amon and Christina! Great points you’ve made here. I’m a US citizen and my husband is a Canadian citizen with us Green card. We are going to retire in Canada 🇨🇦. When we were dating long distance, I visited his multiple times and love it. Plus it is comforting that he grew up there so the familiarity is solid. My pension will go further and the location we’re moving to is affordable. We already have a cross border tax accountant and fortunately, the takes I’ll pay in the US will be treated as tax credits in Canada because theirs is higher. Now, we are looking at different countries tried to be snowbirds in. Most of the cities we’re looking into are in Mexico. We want to learn the language and integrate ourselves into the community as much as possible. But Portugal is on our list to visit for vacations. My hubby wants warmer temps from Jan - Mar. also looking into Western Australia and Chiang Mai, Thailand. We’ve heard wonderful things about these places as well.

The US has agreements with many countries under the Double Taxation Treaty (DTT), to prevent double taxation. Generally, you pay the DIFFERENCE between what you are liable for to the US, and what you are liable for to the other country, rather than being taxed by both countries on the same income. You may also have credits that will lower your tax liability to the other country, just like you may have in the US. There’s also the possibility that your source of income isn’t taxed at all, or might actually be double taxed if the DTT does not cover your particular kind of income. 😮 Everyone’s individual tax situation is different. Interesting tidbit: Citizenship based taxation in the US goes back to the Civil War, when Americans living abroad were taxed at a HIGHER rate than those living in the country, to help pay for the war. 😳

Hell. Thank you for your awesome content. Regarding healthcare, can you recommend a broker/agent that can provide information regarding Portugal private health insurance? Retiring in December 2024 and doing the advanced leg work. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello, I never hear yall talk about numbers? Like if u invest in rugs or funds, which ones? What y'all start with. How much or long it took to grow. If applications are expensive how much? If homes are expensive abroad? How much. Thanks for content

Question for you, could you have retired and stayed in the Bay Area? These struggles are part of the interest in living in another country. Thanks

I would add that people should understand social/dating/marriage and other relationship patterns before moving abroad. Cross-cultual training/intercultural competence. Your Japan medicine story highlights this. I lived in Japan, too. Reading up on politeness expectations and the emphasis on collective thinking vs. individualism prepared me a lot.

Your Family is living incredibly blessed lives and I'm very happy for the four of you. ❤❤❤😁❤❤❤ The reasons I'll just stay in Southern California are delineated in this video. Far as I'm concerned, much of the USA is a foreign country and I was born in the Midwest.😂😂😂😂😂 I'm not moving back to Iowa or Illinois, I understand their politics 😂😂😂😂😂. The last thing Midwesterners want to see is some single Black Guy move there, buy a house and have an 18 wheeler show up a few days later with 3 Sports Cars with California license plates in tow😂😂😂

A lot of you already live in a foreign country. The United States is a corporation located in The District of Columbia. You were born on sovereign soil and land of one of the 50 states of the Unites States of America (unincorporated). As a national of the United States of America, you're not a taxpayer or debtor. You are a creditor.
