As we all know, Asia is known for having a great financial business, so moving there could be a great business move. But to do that, you’re going to need an Asian second residency.
From offshore banking to real estate investment to economic prosperity, the power has shifted to Asia. It’s simply undeniable.
Western countries struggle to compete in these areas. . Sure, we have a stable society, we have relatively good governments and safe life. But where are the opportunities to grow?
In most western countries, it seems as though things have become stagnant. If your dad was a millionaire, you’ll be a millionaire (or not, depending on how much you pay in taxes). But will you become a billionaire?
That’s probably not going to happen. It could, but it probably won’t. So, if you want to grow your wealth, and expand your business, you’re going to inevitably move eastwards. But as you know, the world of business has gotten quite complicated.
In this video, Andrew shares some opportunities to live in Asia.

    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?

    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. (Well it's nice to have ancillary advice. And it would be useful if you are diversifying your investment elsewhere in Asia).

    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.

    Indonesia tax exemption is tempting, but remember sales tax is 11% and will go 12% soon. In addition, the public service is almost non existent for tax you paid, such as police, health, education. This third world country is trying to adopt the first world country extensive tax collection system, but failed to provide similar or even basic public service done by first country. The first surprise you will find when you landed in Indonesia, is your mobile phone will not accept any local SIM card, except you go to tax office and pay any applicable import and sales tax for your phone for bringing to the country.

    No one in their right mind moves to a likely future warzone. That takes Taiwan off the list, and makes both South Korea and Japan suspect due to their proximity and defense alliances with Taiwan. The rest of Southeast Asia is also vulnerable to varying degrees, and war in that region is not a non-trivial risk due to Chinese geopolitical conditions pushing the CCP to war over peace in the near future. (It's far more about if their real economy collapses before they can go to war than anything else.)

    I recently secured a 5 year visa exemption for Vietnam through ancestry. Apparently with this allows me to purchase real estate and open a business in the same way as a Vietnamese citizen. A great option for those that have ancestry as I didn't know it was an option until very recently. However, Vietnam does include foreign income for tax thresholds and their tax rates are not that favourable although still better than ridiculous Australia where I am a citizen. The plan is if my business does take off in a year or so, then I'll move my base to Malaysia and open a Labuan company. Not speaking Vietnamese is at least somewhat of a barrier to speed of getting things done compared to Malaysia.

    As a US citizen with US passport, and no Vietnamese background, I have a 5 years Vietnam visa exemption. My wife is a Viet Kieu (originally from Vietnam). Based upon this I have the luxury of living in Vietnam with my wife if we want. The other thing I have is a Indian OCI visa, care of my Indian background. My wife, a US and Vietnam dual citizen, also has a OCI visa. We can reside in India. India doesn't allow dual citizenship. The place we like in Asia...well there are two ..other the India or Vietnam.... Kuala Lumpur and Chiang Mai

    @@wouter1602 yes totally agree that Labuan is really only the right option when you have a significant sized business. I’m going just getting started again (I say that as someone who has previously already started other ones). The visa issue is definitely problematic. However if anyone is willing to go say teach English for say 30 hrs a week you can get a work visa. After I think 5 yrs you can naturalise citizenship but you’d have to give up your current passport which obviously isn’t viable for a lot of people.

You find amongst friends that they have built houses in the Philippines but always have a Plan B by retaining a property in Australia should the situation turn pear shaped in the Philippines. Medical issues are the bottom line with most expats returning to Australia where the medical system looks after them. In the Philippines, the hospitals have two doors, one for people with money and the other which leads outside. Not as rosy as one would hope. I find the Philippines a reality check every time I go, happy to kiss the ground when I get back home to the land of milk and honey.
