One thing people don't take into consideration is that countries change over time as well. When I was a corporate expat, the "hot" place to go was China. Not so much now. And 5 years ago, I wanted to retire to Malaysia. But since they've changed the MM2H rules, it's nearly impossible for the average retiree. Today Portugal is the popular destination. But the government is taking steps to limit immigration now too. I'll still leave the US for many reasons, but my choice of destination is evolving.

I have been living in and out of Thailand for 54 years. First as a backpacker learning about the country and its people. Came back 3 years later and used Bangkok as a base while working as a construction contractor for oil companies in the Middle East and Asia for 6 years (where else to spend your off time when you are in your 20s). Returned to America and bought land and built a home during my off time while still working international and still passing through Thailand. Started seeing the signs that America was heading in the wrong direction 14 years ago and sold my home and moved permanently to Thailand. Smartest move I ever made, reading the news every morning reminds me of that. Having lived and worked internationally all my working life made living in Thailand easy.

I've been roaming around Latin America for the last 6 months looking for a place to move from Canada. I moved my company to Ireland in August, but wasn't as impressed with the Irish lifestyle as in Latam. Uruguay is looking like the winner, the Spanish spoken there is quite odd (I learned mine in Chile & Perú) and it has much more of a 'small town feeling', even in the capital. The part of Uruguay I'm considering has no English, the second language there is Portuguese. Pretty much the entire country is accessible by bicycle (it isn't that big, and is pretty flat). Awesome airport and minimal hassle coming & going. Chile is the place with a lot of my clients, but I don't want to deal with the Chilean tax system. Perú -- no, just no. Wasn't that impressed with Panama City, will be heading to spend some time in rural Panama to see if it more to my liking, but my current thinking is that Uruguay is the place.

Studied which countries check out, for about a year and ended up doing a 2 month trip last fall, to Punta del Este, Uruguay. After 6 weeks, made an offer on a place and close the deal next week. Not sure why Andrew says there is not much happening in Uruguay. The people are fantastic, there is a lot of culture and sport opportunities (to participate, not watch) and good infrastructure. Lots of opportunity if you want to do something business wise and an expat community that is reasonably well integrated in the day to day Uruguayen life. From a long term perspective, you have to appreciate the general respect people from Uruguay have towards one another. They may not be movers and shakers but they really care about the person beside them, even people like me who can't speak Spanish. Definitely a place to seriously study and then visit.

​@@925inder2 It's my favorite place in the Uruguayan Eastern Coast. It's a small beach resort. There are a few Americans, Britts, Canadians, Europeans, and Argentinians living there. I have spent many summers there. I think you may want to live in Punta or Montevideo because Piriapolis in the winter may be a bit too lonely. It's about 20 miles from Punta and 70 miles from Montevideo. The closest hospital is in Punta. There are small "policlinics" though. Piriapolis has the most amazing sunsets.

Being from California and having lived in Mexico City for 1.5 years over two different periods (2018 & 2021), I can confirm what the @nomadcapitalist and other commenters here in saying, it’s an excellent choice. My time time there was really a reconnaissance mission as I approach 50 and start to think about my exit/retirement plan. Why Mexico in general? As others mention, the infrastructure, the people, the gastronomy, the amazing variety and quality of vegetables and fruits available, beaches, the weather (many different micro climates to suit your tastes), the history, the architecture, and it IS part of North America so as this video mentions, it has everything available to make you feel like you are not too far way from the U.S. in terms of foods, restaurants, products, electronics, etc…whatever you’re used to to prevent homesickness). Mexico is definitely my choice…I’m just trying to figure out where I want to live! Mexico City is great if you’re young or move there with your significant other and you love the buzz of a very large city but I think I may opt for a city or town with a slower pace once I fully decide to move there.

Would you consider doing a video on where would be the cheaper/ budget friendly place for 2nd citizenship? I am a father of 5 on a 5 figure budget so obviously my options are pretty limited, but I would love to hear what they might be. I have extended family throughout central America and the Caribbean and enjoy those cultures a lot, just not sure of the best options and the process.

One clarifying note about Belize, lots of ex-pat entrepreneurs in their 20s, 30s, and 40s there from smoothie stands to massive real estate development, ex-pats have a presence. The 2 most significant problems with Belize and conducting business there are accurate information and functional logistics. While these areas have improved substantially there is still a long way to go. Belize is also relatively straightforward for eventual PR and citizenship it just takes time, but on that note, any of the CBI programs in the Caribbean would in most cases allow for residence in Belize through the CSME program under CARICOM.

As someone who is contemplating at least a partial move to Belize I found your comments on the country interesting. I agree it is getting a bit too much hype right now but I think that will cool down in the coming years. It certainly not for everyone - some parts are very much 3rd world and undeveloped. For me that is part of the attraction. The pace of life is much slower and 20 years ago that would have driven me cray, but now that I am in my 50s I like that. I still remember the first time I went to Italy when I was about 20 and thought the pace of life was so slow there I could never live there. In the last 15 or so years I've come to appreciate that and can easily see my time split between Italy and Belize with maybe still some time in the US but quite possibly not.

Yes, it’s beautiful but our government is corrupt as Hell and the genocidal leftists control the “educational” institutions and our fake media. US schools teach how wonderful it is to groom children and to turn boys into girls. They also HEAVILY promote White genocide, thanks to that damnable Critical Race Theory which was developed by Nazis and Marxists at the Frankfurt School. The communist hellhole Columbia “University” is the epicenter of the Frankfurt School propaganda. US schools and Universities are among the worst in the world. Period.

It is full of boutiques, with Max Mara, Karl Lagerfeld and Cavalli best represented, but with almost every middle and haute designer well represented. Virtually everyone speaks English and about 10% of the population is European and N. American expats. The local food is good, but Blloku has Burger King, KFC, Pizza Hut and Panda Express. It has a first rate American Steak House, and an Argentinian steak house, a couple of American sports bars with U.S. sports on multiple T.V.s. If you prefer suburban lifestyles, about 3 km S.E. of downtown is TEG which is a Western style mall. It is surrounded by gated communities with 3,000 to 6,000 sq ft villas and all the amenities. 30 minutes west of downtown is Shkëmbi I kavajës, which is a 1.5 km beach that is competitive with any place.

The rainforests here are amazing with rivers and a good variety of wildlife, horseback riding, hiking, zip lining, river tubing, kayaking etc.! The second biggest coral reef is here in Belize right after the Great Barrier Reef, and it’s called The Blue Hole. The view from a small plane is spectacular with so many different colors of blues and greens in the Caribbean and you can see the bottom, but unfortunately it’s been too hot for the health of some sea-life and it’s problematic for sargassum being washed up on the beaches, because seaweed’s breaking off from the heat. It’s really bad in some areas of Florida right now. We’ve only had one occurrence of stinking sargassum in the past 5+ years, thankfully! 🌞🌴🌺🐬⛵️

EXCELLENT video thank you Azores and Belize

I would love to see you do an episode on the most tax friendly states in the US as a stepping stone to offshore options

Goggled it and there's oceans of data. Usually the trade-off between States boils down to whether you want to pay high property taxes (texas) or higher income taxes.
