    Well, I recently submitted the visa application for thailand. If all goes well, I should get an approval within the next couple of months, setting my flight down in either May or June. I found a fair amount of spacious one bedroom condos in phuket for 700 to 800 dollars a month, which is surprising since most people say phuket is pretty expensive. I'm lucky enough to be able to take a remote claims insurance representative job with me.

    Most call centers want you to be in the states to work for them. Most of them make you run programs on your computer that can track your location. I may just be misinformed but if there's a work around for this issue that someone knows about I'd be grateful to know about it

    • @OurBlackUtopia
      @OurBlackUtopia  10 місяців тому +1

      Most, but not all 😉 - The question for them is, 'may I work while I travel'? You will not be "living" in these locations because you don't have permission to do so. You are visiting.

In the past months, I've just taken a week here and there to travel but if I find truly "remote" work vs. work from home that can sustain me, I will embrace more freedom.

    I lived in Türkiye for 2 years. You do not have to necessarily get the e-visa. You can get the visa when you get in the country. Also, you guys are looking in the wrong place for people to live cheap. If you go more to the south east in Adana, Merlin and Karatas, you can live even cheaper. What you have done is picked a lot of the tourist places in Türkiye and that is far more expensive than the one that I named.
