Thanks for this. As a Canadian who is concerned with recent human rights violations and the new law of internet censorship that is being discussed in Canada. I made a second home in a red state in USA and also looking for a third place as backup for my kids.

I'm 29 and I have less than 1000 euros (just came from Argentina to the Netherlands) but this channel for me is inspiring and I'm definitely saving this video to watch it and make us of it in hopefully not more than a few years 🌏🙌🏼 Thanks for sharing this information and therefore standing up for freedom 🕊

I think Andrew forgot about Paraguay where you can just deposit approx. US $4,600 in a Paraguayan bank and you can get residency in about 3 months. To maintain your PR you're only required to visit once every 3 years but to qualify for citizenship you have to stay there for 183 days a year for the next 3 years after getting your residency permit.

I wish you make an updated video on this topic every year.

I deposited money into a Myanmar bank and left my money for six months. Lo and behold my deposits actually accrued interest and werent stolen by the bank. I stood in shock when I made the realization. Its almost immpossible for an expat to get Burmese citizenship but the banks are friendly. Myanmar KYAT and USD are official currencies.

Americans can live in Germany for 6 years if they have their own business in USA (regardless of size) and open up a branch in Germany. This is permitted in an agreement from the Marshall Plan.

Great clip. I am over 60, and both Malaysia and Turkey sound appealing to my retirement life.

Super informative, thanks for all the info! I find Ecuador is the best option for nomads on a budget. After the 'rona-demic' they've made the visas more lenient on how much time can be spent out of the country by visa holders. Also fines are less for people that have overstayed their visas.

I like that this channel is encouraging me to think about other options besides the USA for pre-post retirement. And I never thought seriously about leaving, however, it is interesting to see what else is out there and available in my economic range. I desire to live a reasonably good life on a budget, so it is nice to know that if all I had was my Social Security, I could do so in a place like Panama.

If your are over 50, you only need 800K Thai Baht in the bank, and like Andrew said you need one day a year to renew. Go for the retirement visa instead of the investor visa.

I have visited Malaysia,it is a developed country and very economical to live

Oh: Malaysia, Philippines , and Panama are my interests at this time. Followed by Costa Rica and/or Turkey in the near future. Applause for credible research and info👏🏿

Ecuador is quite attractive as a retirement country, with Cuenca having a delightful climate. To get citizenship you have to live there 18 months out of a two year period. Foreigners get same rights and privileges as citizens, and seniors are entitled to lots of discounts. Cars are ridiculously expensive as there is a 100% tariff on their import.

The Panama friendly nations visa was perfect! Particulary for those that are starting out

I love the new Media Navigation to skip over content for when a video is so broad. Currently setting up my online business as I'm writing this.

Anyone interested in Colombia should check into their tax system. When I investigated the possibility of moving there, I was discouraged by their wealth tax, which as I recall imposes a 1% tax on wealth above $USD 1,500,000. Well worth knowing about.

Always interesting information. I would like to see you address the "unvaxxed" issue and how that would affect your choices about where to go.

I'm a US expat living in lovely central Mexico...lately have seen a number of expats previously living in Costa Rica arriving here in Mexico. The most common reason is CR is just getting too expensive. Minor reasons are limited healthcare options and bland food.

great shows. we need more guys like you. My wife and I would like to leave the country but are not vaccinated. how can we fly out? where can we go? we do have some money saved up. we are totally fed up with this communist regime here. thank you for your help.

This channel has changed my life and outlook on my money and im just a six figure earner.

Panama's Friendly Nations Visa it is for me, I think. I have a Latvian citizenship by birth and a US residency soon to be a citizenship in addition. I don't like the vibe of my birth country but having an extra passport during the pandemic has proven to have been very useful. I like the US and taxes are of a lesser concern - I want the opportunity to earn and to add to my resume in certain ways I can't do elsewhere as effectively. It works for me. I am right now vacationing in Costa Rica and shopping for the third option. I have a love and hate relationship with CR where I had an extended vacation years ago and I like it there a lot, yet something doesn't click within me to actually live there.

Egypt - rather optimistic country this! Lived there for 4 years. Wouldnt take permit/citizenship for free. But great information. Turkey - new information that, didn't know that $$ in the bank could deliver the same. Love it. Portugal seems most appealing. Malaysia - that was a program to look at! $36k for this oldie! would consider getting the last 2....though off late the Freelancer Visas are turning out to be rather enticing. Qatar is at $10k + office rent, to set up shop & resulting RP. $200K house gets you an indefinite visa tied into the house ownership UAE - i think the world knows it all -)

Portugal, Thailand, Malasya, St. Lucia, Uruguay.

Great info. In my experience, there is always some kind of residence visa in most desired countries. If you go to one and spend some time there, like in Thailand, you'll find those so-called 'strict terms and conditions are not so strict and there are always loopholes!

Philippines just yesterday (Oct 5, 2021) has now re-opened the SRRV Retirement Visa program. For about $25,000 US, you can gain entry into the Philippines again as long as the SRRV process is begun on arrival.

Actually Ecuador is not all that safe, out of all the countries in the world i have been to (80) that's the only one where i got robbed in the street, and i met people with a lot of stories (shooting, face slashed with a knife) etc. I am not saying it is the worst in the continent, but anyone who lives there knows it has problems with violent crime and drugs

Live half of my life in the Philippines and still have a rental property in the capital but retiring there is the last thing on my mind. Friendly people but for me does not offset too much corruption, red tape and ridiculous laws. Nice to have a short vacation there but not for long term residency. That is the reason why millions leave the country every year.

Just a note on the Panamanian Friendly Nations Visa. Since this video was posted there have been some significant changes. Most importantly the $5,000 bank deposit is now $200,000. By Executive Decree No. 197 of 7th May 2021 and Executive Decree No.226 of 20th July 2021 amendments were enacted to Executive Decree 416 of 13 June 2012 to the Permanent Residency for citizens of the following closed list of 50 countries, who "want to engage in economic, investment or professional activities in Panama": 7. Evidence that you require permanent residency for an economic, investment or professional activity, which can be one of the following: a. Real Estate in Panama with a minimum investment of $200,000, titled in your name, in the name of a corporation or private interest foundation; or b. 3-year fixed term deposit account in a bank in Panama in the minimum amount of $200,000. c. Employment letter from a company established in Panama, with business license. For this option, the applicant must obtain a work permit from the Ministry of Labour.

Enjoying your series.. Can you offer some videos for middle lifers with 6 digit in assets wanting to expatriate in foriegn countries? What are the best options for ¼ to ½ millionaires that want to get out of the USA and enjoy an affordable retirement but not really wanting to run a business?

For me, it is one of the most useful videos! Thanks a lot. I am interested in Panama, Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador, and a bit less in Malaysia and Thailand.

I hope Malaysia will welcome more residents soon

Thailand, Thailand , and Thailand...multiple residences in Thailand I'm here a decade as of Mar 2021... :)

Philippine banks had a lot of cases of money stolen in the past either through copied and cloned ATM cards or money missing in their passbook accounts or through phishing online (some the banks decided not to return the money stolen). Now Phil. banks implement the use of chips in ATM, debit and credit cards to avoid skimming schemes. That's why when my commission arrives, I'm planning to deposit it in a Singapore bank like DBS or UOB, directly if it's S$350,000 and up or apply for a Singapore student visa and then a deposit a minimum S$1,000 if my commission is

Hi Andrew, this is a really nice and informative video. Please let me note that you have forgotten the Greek Golden Visa, which can be also issued in return of a 400k EUR term deposit account in a Greek bank. It is a relatively new option, however, it is the most affordable Golden Visa through "term-deposit" in the EU/Schengen Area.

For these ppl over 55 yrs, you may get up to 1 year multi entry retirement visa in Cambodia (renewable). In theory, you should show ‘sufficient’ fund in the bank, in practice they do not ask for a justification. It cost < 300 USD/yr.

Great information The Philippines is the place for me. I’m also interested in Panama. As I approach retirement age.

Helpful information about putting money in many corners of the world. Thank you for sharing.

Great summary - Thanks. Turkey and Malaysia interest me the most... I guess with kids one of the major factors is their schooling... if you can do a video on that it would be of high value. Thanks.

Panama is very soon also requiring a 200k RE investment

My mother is from a EU country. She bought property in Spain and is retired there but she has to leave every 3 months. It really complicated to become resident there also.

thanks for this info -- im planning my travel retirement out of the country -

I bought a place in Turkey when I was living there, for around $70k, $250k is really high priced so I would say look for a multifamily or apartment building instead.

Latvia, turkey, egypt, philipines, thailand usd$30K visit 1 day every year. Malaysia $300RM, deposit. half if > 50K

As a not--figure-entrepenur (yet) South African, Philippines and Turkey makes the most sense. Been to Malaysia and Thailand which were also great but the former was just too conservative Muslim for me.

Andrew, you said $40K for Ecuador and it's actually only $24K and change. Just letting you know.

My destination interest is Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia. And,thanks for your kind cooperation in advance. From Bangladesh.

Malaysian option looks good to me. Live in Penang with a Resident Permit plus street food ....for say 3 months per year....perfect!

Most of those countries have low corporate tax rates, ideal for new businesses (Already looking at you, Montenegro) By the way, great haircut and the luxurious urban landscape background shows excellence. Congrats to your team 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

With the green new deal in the offing you can also park your US dollars in your bathroom so they're handy for you know what.

Hello again. I am of the Chippawa Nation and a member of the Kinakwii Nation.

Thailand is interesting. Felt like South India when I visited the place.

Panama 5g Ecuador 40g Colombia 20g Costa Rica 60g Latvia 280g Euro plus 2500 Euro fee Portugal 1 mil Euro Egypt 1 mil Euro Philippines 2~50g Thailand 300g Malaysia 35g

thank you for your great content and work. Highly appreciated.

lots of value here, thank you guys so very much. Honestly, I would love more information on the Philippines. That is an interesting program.

The PR in Panama is not as easy as you said. They expect the PR holder to have an address in Panama even if you don't live there, meaning you have to sign a lease agreement to become a tenant or buy a property in Panama.

Thank you so much, you changed my outlook.

What about moving to Romania? The cost of living there is very low for westerners,the food is outstanding,you ca find at any farmer market a lot of real organic products,people are friendly,etc,etc,etc.

I am considering Malaysia, interesting, thanks.

Thanks for free help Andrew.

You forgot the other example of den of capitalistic iniquity, Cyprus. A million down, new identity and new passport. Perfect!

I am considering Portugal.

I like the idea of Singapore. It's expensive but they beat delinquents with sticks.

I did not hear you mention Georgia, but I know you've spoken on your other shows about it. I am VERY interested in Turkey however, so this is good news! Thanks for your amazing show-

malaysia for sure, nice food nice place

Philippines has suspended the SRRV, apparently with the plan to review it. Reviews rarely come up with a better deal. I also read that Panama is looking at doing the same.

Malaysia. I love their Malay food.

Why worry about Citizenship ? Cambodia $ 195 USD per year business visa . No Tax on rental properties 6.5 % interest in Bank earnings And only 6 % tax rate on the interest . Car registration only $ 70 per year . Food same price as a cheeseburger in USA or Australia or Europe . Alcohol so so cheap

Spain seemed like a good option with the golden visa but apparently u also have to show annual income in addition to 500k investment 😞

Thank you so much for this information. Panama, here I come.

Such great content! Malaysia is looking the most interesting, please keep us updated

I’d love to hear more about the best cost of living versus visa/residency options in for example Costa Rica and Thailand.

What if I just have SSI????I was a nurse for 20 years and now I'm on SSI, I got sick I watch your videos all the time and share them.Ty for the great information all the tome.

Malaysia! Thanks Andrew. Really enjoying your book right now.I'm also over 50, so that sounds like a great fit for me, ....also love the far east.

Also Paraguay with 5000$

I never been in Malaysia, but it seems to be the one on the list that provides the most financial freedom therefore it seems to be the better choice.

Thailand is good too

Azerbaijan also has this option. You need to deposit 100,000 Manats (almost 59000 USD) to get a resident permit.

I really like Colombia, my son lives there and I am US Citizen!. I am now working on Residential Visa!....but I love what you are saying about Panama, I think that I am going to explore being a residence there.

I love your videos. So informational!

I like how there aren’t any ads on your videos. But then again, you’re not allowed.)))

Thailand retirement over 50 years old $25,000 in Thai bank. Permanent residence after 3 years.

Looking really smart and stylish today!

u forgot to mention Portugal D7 visa Malaysia has changed there requirements for MM2H

Andrew should know this because he lives in Malaysia. You need a RM300K fixed deposit PLUS documented foreign income of RM10,000 per month in order to get MM2H in Peninsular Malaysia. But, as he did say, right now that's academic because the MM2H scheme is suspended.

Great advice. However I'm married to a filapina, and I've been told that deposited money in the bank can be stolen if you only make deposits and no other type transactions.

Very interesting! Malaysia, Philippines and costs Rica sound particularly interesting

Turkey and Ecuador sound enticing followed by Costa Rica and Philippines. What are your thoughts on Turkey given their economic decline as in fiat devaluation and how are the properties holding value given political situation in country?

Turkish residence permit is the easiest and economical. One can get it for USD 1000. The procedure is simple one needs a noterized rental aggrement, health insurance and online application. You get approval within 15 days and card comes within 2 months. Also one may buy a residential property of any amount and apply for 2 year residency. Residency based on property could be renewed for any number of times its like a perminent residency and after 5 years one can apply for Citizenship. I got mine on rental contract bases and been living here for 2 years now.

Money really moves you! Always great content.

Bulgaria --- easy residence with bank count (that takes some time), health cover and an address. Less than 1000 EUR needed in the bank, plus lawyers cost. Real estate is cheap!

Considering Spain 🇪🇸 for retirement and residency through my great grandparents are citizens who lived and born in Spain 🇪🇸.

I'd like to see more about Panama and the Philippines programs.

I like the idea of Southeast Asia

What has your experience been with the continent of Africa ( its banks, permanent residency, government/ taxes, acquiring real estate) as it pertains to the Nomad Capitolist? Thank you in advance for your prompt reply.

If you're over 50 you can easily get a retirement visa in Thailand, renewable every year. You need $25,000 in the bank for 3 months then you can withdraw it.

Portugal my pick. Haven't been. I love Colombia. Currently in cdmx.

Can you do short video on shenzhen, vietnam, & cambodia? Ideally, keep US Citizenship but park some money or buy real estate in those foreign countries. Travel there once / twice a year at 3 week duration each time.

what are your pros and cons on having a 2nd home in Norway, 2nd passport, or residency, as well as owning vacation home in Norway options? also sweden, denmark

There is some good information here, particularly on Malaysia.

Current nominal time account interest rate in Turkey is 16 percent yearly. Personal consumer credit interest rate in Turkey is 25 percent, where e g.when you draw 40.000 tl consumer credit, 1400 tl of file opening closing fee incurred, 250 tl credit insurance fee incurred, the rest is yours for 24 months. 1 Kuwait dinar is 56 tl, 1 euro 17 tl, 1 usd is 15 tl, minimum net wage in Turkey for 6.040.000 turkish workers is 4250 tl per month for each.
