We retired and are residents in Costa Rica. Love our lives here.We don't live in touristy areas or expat communities we are immersed into the Country ,people, culture and History. Thanks for sharing this great information.
First off, long time subscriber, love the content! My wife and I are currently on a 6-month exploratory journey in South America. We decided to base ourselves out of Buenos Aires - in our opinion by far the most vibrant and interesting place in SA. We have travelled to Uruguay, not in the least based on one of your earlier videos and we concur that is indeed an incredibly dull country. We did like Punta Del Este, but in Montevideo you REALLY need to stay by the water (Punta Carretas area) to get any sort of feeling of being in a city. To answer your question, having only been in one country on your list our choice would still be Uruguay, mainly due to its proximity to Buenos Aires. Both Punta Del Este and Buenos Aires do present an opportunity for real estate investments: due to recent migration of Russian citizens to Argentina, the rents have skyrocketed (around 50% in the last 4 months that we've been in Buenos Aires). The majority of real estate deal is done via cash payment, thus relative lack of buyers and lots of renters). Punta Del Este is just a very expensive and gorgeous beach city, where rich people from Brazil and Argentina go.
As a retiree who is not a 7 figure entrepeneur, I am going to use Bogota as a base to look around the coastal areas of Colombia. Took a tour of Panama ( guided) I found the costs are slowly getting closer to what I have in the US. My opinion is Panama gives you a 25% discount and Colombia closer to 50-60%. Both are beautiful countries with friendly people.
Uruguay is very expensive, so if you're not rich better check Paraguay, it is a bit less developed but way cheaper and life is less boring there. I lived in both countries for 2 years each
Based on books I read from Kathleen Peddicord, plus her UA-cam videos and Overseas Living Letter, I am seriously looking into Uruguay. Found your book on accident recently, and it’s my new favorite!
Ecuador: still choosing. some banking there. high interest rate. Heavy in arts and good healthcare. Year round fresh food. 4 hr. flt to Miami/Ft.L/Houston
I think that Brazil is the only Latin American country that seems attractive to me: 1. Largest economy in that region. 2. Brics country 3. A perfect non westerner passport without problems and from a stable big country 4. It will allow you to invest in sensitive sectors like some mining and power projects freely. 5. Will give you impunity especially if avoided obtaining some stupid western citizenship 6. It could be fast just in 1.5 year 7. It allows access to mercusor. 8. Possible novel currency unity whether with Argentina or brics ... The main two disadvantages: 1. I used to live in asia where all goes logical and smart and where bureaucracy is just not there. So sluggishness angers me deeply. 2. Tax on international income. Why on earth someone feels the right to tax you on money you generate in another country.
@@Anonymint-vj7bt I ve been through more dangerous countries. I am now in the safest country maybe. But I would really take the Brazilian adventure at least for a year or two
I am currently in canada and making my get-away plan. One of my criteria that I look for, as far as a country is this - Do you hear about it in the news? When you mention the country's name and people looa at you as if you have 3 heads....then I look at it. Uruguay is one of those countries. However I have been to Costa Rica and do also consider that one as well. Enjoy your videos and hope to attend one of your events soon.
Many other pluses for Uruguay besides being "under cover". I big one is relative wealth equality. Uruguay is number 1 in Latin America. This means people are generally happy and helpful to those around them. I visited last fall to see if everything I heard was true. Purchased a place after 6 weeks of "proof".
Another one is Paraguay. Perhaps even more so. Considerably lower cost of living and taxes than Uruguay. Just as safe, by most accounts. Very much live and let live. Specifically, San Bernardino. Check it out. it is high on my list of possible places. (also leaving Canada)
@@panamahub If one were to have a Panama company, chances are if thats controlled from Panama theyd zing you on taxes as local income "since its managed and controlled locally". However... If you were to have a foreign company running it and living in Panama... This wouldnt be subject to tax correct? Given that Panama has no CFC rules AND is a territorial tax country. Thanks
@@panamahub Any solutions that come to mind? Travel continually? Go to a place without management and control rules? Leave after getting tax residency? Thanks
I spent some time in Panama and it was too hot for me, even in the highlands of Boquete. I like Mexico, specifically Guadalajara, Queretaro, and possibly San Miguel de Allende due to the beautiful weather and low cost of living. Yes, they are safe. Hey Andrew, I submitted my resume twice for the real estate position.
Are you kidding me Guadalajara safe? People are gunned down around there, even crime and break-ins around Lake Chapala. Tangerine Travels recently reported (which was also reported in the Mexican news) about the corrupt police and cartels cooperating to roadblock 300+ vehicles along the highway and pilfer their valuables. This is what can happen in a country with no gun rights. In the U.S. the criminals would have been shot dead by citizens. Actually San Miguel de Allende has blonde hair, blue-eyed Mexicans and is probably safe.
A few years back everyone was singing the praises of Chile 🇨🇱 as a shining star of civility, liberty, and economic opportunity in the morass of the tumultuous nations comprising the continent of South America. They are singing quite a different song nowadays it seems. I guess in that part of the world circumstances really can change overnight.
Chile has its problems for sure, but it's often a different set of problems compared to 70% of Latin America. The stats that have become worse in the last few years are mostly related to crime in Santiago and more urban areas. When it comes to long-term political stability, however, it probably dodged a bullet by rejecting the new constitution proposed last year, so it's possible things have bottomed out in that aspect. I've lived here for the last 14 years, if I ever decide to leave, at least it won't be due to that factor (take a current look at Peru next door for comparison).
The entire world is changing overnight. Are you not witnessing the devolution of the West and the U.S. in particular. The U.S. is now driving WW3. Have you read famed Seymour Hersch's expose that unequivocally states that Brandon's Security Council ordered the bombing of Nord Stream 2. The U.S. is undergoing a leftist coup d'etat right now. I am not Trumptard.
@@jamesrenaud592 the general rule is don't live in the Latin American shities. I am in Chiclayo, Peru now. No problems. Unless the Shining Path returns and there's genocide in the countryside, then rural life should be mostly unperturbed by what nonsense is going on in the shities.
Uruguay is currently highest on my list, simply because they do not cause any waves or make the news. I am looking at making it my base and then bounce between Colombia ( I love the coffee region near Medellin ) Argentina, Chile and Ecuador. You nailed it in that time zone is one of the most important issues, particularly for traders. I don't hate Costa Rica or Panama but I am not seeing a lot of upside for those countries. Banking?

@@Anonymint-vj7bt It is a legitimate concern. I would never bank in South America and you have to be ready to leave. Chile did at least reject changing their constitution to a more leftist stance. South America unfortunately has a long history of going back in forth. There is a cliche in Chile that goes something like "We just need a Dictator every 20-30 years to reset the economy." which is a bit of a hat tip to Pinochet.
proximity is measured in hours of travel. not actual distance. at least that's how i view it. a direct flight across an ocean is often easier and quicker than rural to rural in the same region.
I arrived in Costa Rica in 1991...it was paradise...The boomer had yet to arrive the COL was incredible...low... Moved south to Panama in 2013 as by about 2008 CR was over
Boring is beautiful! Always loved Uruguay (I was raised in RS state, 60 km North of the brazilian southern border in Jaguarão - Rio Branco). Simplicity with elegance / kindness / peace / silence / contact with nature / good confidentiality-offshore regulatory frame / wonderful food & drinks etc. My Plan B is certainly there, and I would probably chose a quiet place such as Melo, Rocha, Durazno or even La Paloma (by the beach). 😎🧉
I've been in panama for 6 months....I don't find other guys friendly making it hard to make new friends. I think I might head back to escazu for 6 months and hold on to my apartment in panama city but I keep hearing good things about bogota
I've been in Costa Rica as a naturalized resident for 6+ years having been in NZl previously. I keep my banking there. I do have a local account here as well for money transfers.
In Canada/US/France/UK some people got kicked out of their banks, and it's very difficult for them to open an account in another bank in some cases. I would definitely trust more a capitalist country in LaTam rather than western countries that are becoming more an more communist and mess with people private property
Love Doug Casey, saw him recently on Stansberry Research. Will be getting back to his channel, especially with the eschatological prophetic msg’s, information. As well as to send here to this channel, Andrew! As soon as we get a minute! 😀✅
Andrew , you are a genius but Doug Casey said something different about Uruguay, anyways, Uruguay is good but it''s the most expensive country in Latin America, , whereas in Argentina all the financial thing can be a headache, you can't pay pal on an local bank account, like +10 exchange rates , pesified foreign incomes etc you say Uruguay is boring
He meant they're well connected. You can actually take a bus at night in Montevideo and you wake up the next day in Asunción. Also a lot of direct flights. Anybody who lived there knows this, you probably never visited Paraguay
Do you know who did that to Ukraine? It was not Russia. The same bastards that caused all the problems in Latin America that lead to the mess they are in now. Uncle Sam. Read famed Seymour Hersch's latest expose on Brandon ordering the destruction of Nord Stream 2.
My wife is from Colombia and we spend a lot of time in Cali and have property there, what do you think of Colombia’s prospects with their new President?
My #1 reason for not leaving the US is because owning a gun for protection is still legal (barely). Most all other countries simply cannot wrap their collectivist heads around the fact that no one has the right or 'authority' to tell me what I'm allowed to own. This includes any group of men claiming to be government or agents of the government. Nothing is more important to me than self-preservation and the ability to defend myself.
You can legally own a firearm in Chile if you're determined to do so. There's just much more bureaucracy in order to do it (like many things in Chile). I believe it's possible in other South American countries too, countries like Japan or Australia are actually in the minority.
@@jamesrenaud592 also in Peru. But you there's no Castle Doctrine nor right to self-defense. If you shoot someone, you are going to jail unless they had shot at you already. If they were only pointing the gun at you, you are not allowed to shoot. If they attack with a knife, you must also fight back with a knife. Insanity!
@@Anonymint-vj7bt in Chile you can plead self defense for shooting someone and it sometimes works. It is based on perceived intent.....if someone is pointing a gun at you and you shoot first, you are generally OK. If you miss, and that same person turns around and starts to run and you shoot him in the back (and there is evidence that this what occurred), then you are legally in trouble, because the issue is whether or not the person is a threat to you or others.
@@jamesrenaud592 my thought is use rubber bullets to deter trespassers until the situation warrants hot lead. Yeah I read about never shoot any Latino in the back. But I also read that we are expected to fight with equal weapons, i.e. if attacker has a knife I can use a baseball bat or a knife, but not a gun to defend myself. It's a machismo thing? Cowardice to not fight with your hands and shooting a gun is perceived as impunity and elitist?
In Ecuador now... meh. Uruguay has always been super interesting to me, and may end up down there once I have no further reasons to visit the US... but last I read, their requirements for being in the country to maintain residency were pretty onerous if you want to spend a lot of time travelling.
I believe it is onerous requirement only while you are applying for residency (a few months?), after that, you are free to move around like anybody else in Uruguay. But even if you need to travel and leave the country while your residency is in process, you can, you just need permits each time you go in and out. After you are a resident, nobody cares.
@@RandomPostcards From what I read, it depends on the Visa you get. Sounds like the first year, under temp Visa, is when you have to stay put in order to be granted permanent residency (apparently takes one year or more ), then it lightens up... unless you want to eventually apply for citizenship, for which you have to be able to show dedicated permanent presence, and even then.... IDK, I have trouble finding exacting detailed info.
I have some properties for sell in Uruguay, in the capital Montevideo. 1 room apartments in downtown and near the coast, and also one of 2 rooms. They are not expensive, and have good rent for the price.
I am interested in Uruguay to start but I can't do anything right now because my husband won't diversify. I'm keeping it in my back pocket for the future because I am in better health than him even though I am older.
Agree 100% that you shouldn’t deposit a significant amount anywhere in Latin America. Bank account for bills makes sense but not investing. I have lived down here for 14yrs and I leave $ in the states. Exactly as he indicated, wire money down when you need to pay bills.
Yeah that's the problem with being tax resident in any of these countries that want to maintain a high status in the E.U. and international community. In general I suggest not staying in any country longer than 6 mos per year, to avoid being a tax resident. Then obtain tax residency in a zero tax country.
And you must be vaxxed to receive university scholarship. This is coming to every country though. There are ongoing leftist coup d'etats in the West, e.g. Brandon in the U.S..
I’ve been wondering the same thing. It’s actually a decent place for someone with a solid middle income but if you’re an investor or anyone with serious 💰 then 🇲🇽 = ⚠️
@@lawtutoring people keep going missing in Mexico and police won’t care to look into it. that doesn’t happen in every country on earth. if the police is after you in Mexico, you pay the cartel a few thousand dollars and they will make the police stop looking for you. this is above average level of f*cked up.
@@borz55 mexico is way safer than most of Africa. every big country has safe spots. I know old retirees living in Mexico who are perfectly safe. My point was that every government operates like a cartel, and they will disappear you if you annoy them (eg Andrew Tate, Edward Snowden, Julian Assange). Although I wouldnt recommend anywhere in Latin America. Try Cambodia or Vietnam.
@@lawtutoring the problem with SE Asia is they will embrace the coming 666 panopticon central bank digital currencies system in spades. Just compare the mobile data coverage of the population of SE Asia to S. America.
So true. Peru for example can go from wildly dangerous to extremely nice. Now it's back to being dangerous. I have a rich friend who lives there and has 2 bodyguards with him at all times!
@@guyclone2651 yes, but to do that, you'll need a much larger commitment, such as starting a business. The temporary residence path is the one that makes sense now.
Chile, the negative talk of the leftist president is just that…..talk, it’s really just the same as before…..I think taxes should go up they are very low.
Because our average IQs are not the same. And our cultures and work ethics are not the same. And our expectation of gun rights are not the same. White Anglos work all the time. We do not party. We demand guns and right to kill people who trespass.

Agree 100% that you shouldn’t deposit a significant amount anywhere in Latin America. Bank account for bills makes sense but not investing. I have lived down here for 14yrs and I leave $ in the states. Exactly as he indicated, wire money down when you need to pay bills.
Uruguay's new law 20.095 may make it less appealing to many.
What is that?
Yeah that's the problem with being tax resident in any of these countries that want to maintain a high status in the E.U. and international community. In general I suggest not staying in any country longer than 6 mos per year, to avoid being a tax resident. Then obtain tax residency in a zero tax country.
I'm a timid mathematician looking for a tame sine zone please advise
If you traded a million dollars for Euros four months ago, how much would you have made today Euro went up ten percent?
Uruguay or Ecuador

Looking to buy real estate in both colombia mexico, didn't think of banking in Miami but it makes sense
Brazil now requiring 5 doses, mandatory because of the new government!
And you must be vaxxed to receive university scholarship. This is coming to every country though. There are ongoing leftist coup d'etats in the West, e.g. Brandon in the U.S..
That's insane but doesn't surprise me.
Tks Lula!
someone please explain to me how is Mexico an okay place to live with the constant kidnapping risk? and it’s basically a cartel controlled “country”
I’ve been wondering the same thing. It’s actually a decent place for someone with a solid middle income but if you’re an investor or anyone with serious 💰 then 🇲🇽 = ⚠️
You've just described all countries on planet earth.
@@lawtutoring people keep going missing in Mexico and police won’t care to look into it. that doesn’t happen in every country on earth.
if the police is after you in Mexico, you pay the cartel a few thousand dollars and they will make the police stop looking for you. this is above average level of f*cked up.
@@borz55 mexico is way safer than most of Africa. every big country has safe spots. I know old retirees living in Mexico who are perfectly safe. My point was that every government operates like a cartel, and they will disappear you if you annoy them (eg Andrew Tate, Edward Snowden, Julian Assange). Although I wouldnt recommend anywhere in Latin America. Try Cambodia or Vietnam.
@@lawtutoring the problem with SE Asia is they will embrace the coming 666 panopticon central bank digital currencies system in spades. Just compare the mobile data coverage of the population of SE Asia to S. America.
So true. Peru for example can go from wildly dangerous to extremely nice. Now it's back to being dangerous. I have a rich friend who lives there and has 2 bodyguards with him at all times!
Costa Rica is nice to visit but I would lose my mind If I had to live there. Too booring.
Find a vocation on the computer to keep you busy 14 x 7. Stop wasting your life on partying. Be a man.
Your Paraguai info is outdated. The cash required for permanent residency is now 70k USD.
That's not true.
Not correct. What changed is that temporary residency must be held for 2 years first. Then the $5k deposit still applies for permanent residency.
@@Anonymint-vj7bt Yes. But to get permanent residency right away, you need the 70k. The video is outdated. That's what I was pointing out.
@@wuerges You have 10 years to pay for the 70,000$.
@@guyclone2651 yes, but to do that, you'll need a much larger commitment, such as starting a business.
The temporary residence path is the one that makes sense now.
Doug Casey…I love that crusty old curmudgeon 😎
None. Only Mexico and Chile are really worthwhile to me.
After hearing about what happened to Richard Heart in Panama, I'd never live there.
And Colombia. Remember they tracked him down in Colombia.
how many of them have a 2nd Amendment?
The U.S. no longer has a Constitution.
@@Anonymint-vj7bt really?
Believe Ecuador allowing guns with certain criteria.
Chile, the negative talk of the leftist president is just that…..talk, it’s really just the same as before…..I think taxes should go up they are very low.
High taxes = big govt = massive corruption = total enslavement of the population.
Ok... Latin America is not a continent but we are American countries so why can't we just be Americans?........
Because our average IQs are not the same. And our cultures and work ethics are not the same. And our expectation of gun rights are not the same. White Anglos work all the time. We do not party. We demand guns and right to kill people who trespass.
