Residence Permits to Live in Asia

[@mikhailfranco]

If you are over 50, you can get Thailand 'Retirement' (non-immigrant O) visa by leasing a condo for 6 months or more, and putting 800k THB (21.3k USD) in a Thai bank. It's not a fee, you keep the money, and can take it if you decide to leave. No need to invest or buy property, just put cash in the bank. You get a rolling 1-year renewable visa, with certain obligations to get exit visa for travel (get it at the airport on the way out), or 90-day reporting at your local immi office if you don't travel (talk of abolishing this requirement).

I’m 41. I got my SRRV in the Philippines early during the pandemic. I’m glad I did because a few months after I got it they eliminated the program for younger than 50 year olds. I’m grandfathered into the program. I used my Mexican passport to get that visa. I’m dual US and Mexican citizen but the SRRV was easier to get with my Mexican passport than my US passport mainly because the Mexican embassy in the Philippines was open and working while the US embassy was totally closed and not helpful.

SSRV back up and running full at steam. Military SSRV is like $3k down and $100 a year. Or if you are in retirement age you can put $10-$20k down (I forget which now) and get it back when you buy you a relatively low-cost condo (I got mine seafront one off-plan for $50k a few years ago in a hot and hip provincial coastal city , although now its doubled). And you employ a local SSRV consultant who, for a couple of hundred bucks will save you all the hassle. If you have already bought and didnt get the SSRV, then you put down the $10k in a designated bank and get it back when they have officially sited your condo deed of ownership and processed it. Which takes a month or so. All these other countries this guy mentions in his video sound like REALLY expensive to do the same. Laying out hundreds of thousands of dollars to be permanent. Why bother? You have the rest of the world to invest in. Why limit yourself to SEA?

[@robinsattahip2376]

17 years in Thailand and I have never regretted it. Malaysia is also great and Kuala Lumpur is one of the most underrated cities in the world. Korea is not popular among ex-pats who usually feel they are treated rudely. It is also expensive. Japan is heaven if you can afford it, though you do not have the same freedoms you get in a place like Thailand or Cambodia. It's so nice to walk into a pharmacy and buy legitimately needed drugs over the counter that require a prescription at home for example. Singapore is a police state.

Don't get why Philippines not at top of your list. I live there. Pay ZERO tax on overseas earnings. Bought a seafront apartment in a top provincial city for less than $100,000 a few years ago. Underground parking, 24/7 security, huge pool, gym etc. The economy here is booming in my city with new shopping centers, restaurants popping up everywhere. Permanent residency through the SSRV retirement scheme a doddle. Its a fraction of the other countries you mention -- if you in retirement age you can put down $10k and get it back when you buy your condo. If you get the military one is like $3,000 down and you pay a $100 or so a year. English is universal, people friendly. Cost of living is about 10% of Australia, US, UK etc. You can't officially own land, but who cares? And DONT invest in the country beyond that. (Lot of folks do, buying land through back doors). You can use it as a hub -- if you really want to -- to invest anywhere else in the world and to travel cheaply. Well, i do get why it's not at the top of YOUR list and why you dont mention the country often at all in your vlogs. Your entire business model is a consultancy that navigates all the complexities for high networth individuals who are relocating to low cost countries. And with the Philippines you dont need that.

I'd love to hear about living in Hong Kong.

[@harisadu8998]

Visas are not that easy to get for HK. It's a good place to structure a company.

How about Main-Land China ...how can you do a video about Asia and not talk about China?

[@Thomas_Hardy.]

It seems like "a group of people" came on the comments trying to sell philippines destination interest. I hope they aren't trying to covert advertise here. Usually you need to pay for the ads to do this. Philippines govt has been super aggressive in social media infultration lately. Much too agressive and its obvious.

Nope. People just like it there. Don't confuse the two. English-speaking and you can stay pretty much indefinitely on tourist visa on arrival only have to leave one day every three years.

Can you do a labuan vs Singapore comparison?

Great video Andrew. How many days /year can you stay on tourist visas/visa free in Japan, Singapore?

[@guilhermesalesferreiradaco2934]

Depends on your passport

You guys don't realize that tourism is dead in these Asian countries. They went absolutely mental over the ma sks and mandates. I haven't seen anyone's face in 3 years in Korea. They will probably require ma sks forever.

@@GrikWorldNomad I have 90 days visa free in both Singapore and Japan. I was wondering if I can stay for 3 3 months in SG then 3 months in Tokyo, repeat for just < 180 days in each of them every 365.

[@migooknamja]

@@GrikWorldNomad Ma sks never made a difference. The entire population of Japan and Korea wear them because they have been hypnotized by the propaganda and are extremely obedient to their rulers in govt. Now their currencies are hyperinflating and tourism is dead. They are done.
