2020 was a record year at Nomad Capitalist in terms of US citizens calling us to help them create not only a backup plan for citizenship and banking worldwide to protect themselves in the event that things got worse but also requesting our help to get them out of the US before things went completely downhill.
Almost all of them had the same question:
What are the best and easiest countries to move to?
While there is no one perfect place, Andrew is going to share with you what I believe are four pretty easy places for most Americans to move to.
He has set up three criteria that I want to use. First, the countries have to be relatively easy to immigrate to from a legal standpoint. As much as people from the US talk about moving to Canada if their guy doesn’t win the election, it’s not that easy to move to Canada. Canada doesn’t just take anyone that wants to come in with $7. For my criteria, the country had to be relatively easy for a lot of people to move to.
Next, Andrew looked at places that had a relatively similar cultural connection or some kind of cultural affinity to the US. he has been doing this for many years.

I'm planning to go back to my native country after living in the US for 20 years. I made less than 50,000 per year. I don't have any property here, not even a car. Just want to go home. I never felt so alone in my life living here in the US after my husband divorced me for a younger US lady.

1. Sell your stuff. It can cover costs like passport fees, suitcases, or things you will immediately need (toiletries etc.) once you land. 2. Find an easy online part time job that doesn’t threaten your limited income, use whatever skill sets you have and if you don’t have any, find something simple that does not require a lot of training. In a lot of countries you don’t need to make as much as you would need in the states. Make United States money and convert to the currency of where you travel to. 3. House sit. You can house sit for people all over the world, you pay for your transportation and the housing is free. 4. Find work exchange programs where they pay your room and board and you do some sort of work. Do your research on moving abroad on a budget. 5. Research countries with a low cost of living with a high quality of life. 👍🏾

I was talking about the subject to friends of mine and they said the reason why an exit tax is justified is because even though you’re responsible for maybe starting your own business or however you accumulate it your money you had your education in the United States or whatever country it was and so you should pay an exit tax. Actually I’m on the other side of the argument.

That's the dumbest argument I've ever heard. You've lived there, paid taxes while there, paid for the education you received and the business you started. But you owe the US taxes for stuff you already paid for? Dumb. In fact, it's been well publicized and documented that the exit tax is to discourage people and companies from leaving the US Tax system and counting towards GDP.

I owe the government NOTHING. That exit tax should be eliminated. Everyone should contact their congressman to demand it (among other issues).

Renouncing or losing your citizenship both happen under very limited circumstances. Both mean that you: No longer have rights and responsibilities as a U.S. citizen. Must become a citizen of another nation or risk becoming "stateless"
One thing I have wondered about leaving the US is how they deal with citizenship relinquishment (as opposed to renunciation). If, for example, you left the US and became a citizen of Russia and signed up for military service, I’d imagine that would probably be considered a deliberate act of relinquishment. How does “relinquishment” differ from renunciation in terms of the exit tax? Or the fee associated with renouncing it? (Not thinking anyone would want to go to that extreme just to lose your citizenship, but it does have me curious given they differentiate between the two)
@ketchyshubby
Жыл бұрын
I don't think the US government recognizes relinquishing because you haven't gone through the process of renunciation (and gotten the certificate of loss of nationality). Marc Rich for example (though his case was unique obviously), decided to relinquish his US citizenship by publicly becoming a Spanish citizen (which at the time or maybe even now didn't allow Spanish citizens to hold another passport). But since he never actually went through the renunciation process the US said "nah, you still one of us" and went after him for tax evasion.

Andrew, obviously, is very knowledgeable on nomad capitalism. Would just like to hear more about success stories from folks who have left their country, directly from the horse's mouth, that is, the people who have left their motherland. I know many people would want to protect their privacy and not talk about their experiences, but there must be a way to show, not just using statistics, how likely it would be to succeed leaving one’s native land. This is a glaring weakness in what might otherwise be a pretty appealing idea. To play the “devil's advocate,” if it were such a good idea to leave, why aren't more folks leaving? Maybe lots of them are, but we just don't know about them. Simply put, what are the risks? We all know that businesses fail all the time. If you ran into legal problems with your business, dealing with the legal system overseas, likely in a foreign language, could end up being “a bridge too far,” to put it mildly. Would your company be more or less likely to fail in a new country? There seems to be many, many ifs, ands, and buts, leaving some of us with the impression that making a move has too many moving parts. Then there’s always the notion that if you have to ask how expensive a luxury car is, then this means you really can’t afford it. So, it seems like nomad capitalism is primarily for folks who like taking big risks and aren’t particularly bothered by the possibility of losing everything, or almost everything, or just losing a lot.

Registered Nurse live in about $500-700/mo USD. It will be much more expensive for me in SE Asia than Phoenix. Because my income is $0 I get free healthcare ($0 deductible/copay), free smartphone (LIfeLine), free internet (ACP). I own my house which has appreciated $2000/mo over the the past 15 years. I lose all that in moving...but I have enough. I never had the goal of dying with as much money as possible. I haven't had to even file income tax forms in years.
