I retired in Thailand. I live in an older condo in Pattaya (a 5-minute scooter ride to the beach). It is all concrete, so the rooms are quiet (I have a video of the condo). I am on the ninth floor, so the sunsets are great, and I do not have any trouble with mosquitoes or road noise. We have a large pool with a slide. There is a restaurant by the pool; most meals are 3-7 dollars. My rent is $207/month. I have a new wall unit ac. It works great; a guy comes out the same day to fix it if it breaks. I run the AC 24/7 and my electric bill is $30/month. My room is 270 square feet or 30 square meters. It has plenty of room for a single guy. I have no plans to move back to the States.
Ya and you can be refused entry any time they don't like your looks, then they won't give your passport back, and you will have to sign an agreement that you are being deported from the Kingdom of Thailand, to get it back, even though you are only at passport control, then you won't be allowed to enter anymore. Truth. Don't get to comfy. They don't like you, only your money. Been going there for 40 years, they did that to me, for no reason. I spent a lot of money there, I am on the A list at the best hotels like the Oriental in Bangkok, and they did that to me. It can happen to anyone.
In Mexico, you’re allowed to stay for six months with no visa you just have to leave for one day you can walk across the border and staying in a hotel come back in the next day and you have six months more no point doing anything else
This isn't necessarily true anymore. There has been a bit of a crackdown on this loophole in the past 15-20 months (depending on entry location in Mexico). It's still doable, but getting harder to do longer-term. Depending on where you enter, you sometimes need a legitimate reason for a six-month stay. It's a bit arbitrary, but there is some crackdown.
I think I stay in Canada .Been to Uruguay it quite nice but I found the daily live was expensive . Canada is expensive but I can live with that. Our house is here ,our children and grandchildren are here . I found lots of people from Venezuela live there just to survive and get a better life . If you go there without a job I think it will be hard to survive . It has a lot of European culture which is my back ground but my live in Canada is great . Unforgently we don’t have a warm spot to move to. But I take it any day . I been to many country’s from Asia to South America and Europe but Canada always pulls me back . That means I am not willing to move anywhere else.
I've been spending at least 4 months of the year in Mexico, but bounce between here, Panama and the Dominican Republic. I meet the income requirements for at least temporary residency in each, but I've learned as an expat of 13 years that since I like to travel so much anyway, having permanent residency is not so much an issue for me any more. I should add that I had an overnight layover in Miami not quite a month ago; now I can say I've spent 5 days in the U.S. since 2016.
South Africa has one of the highest crime rate in the world, official unemployment rate of 33%. Also, permanent residents pay income tax on their worldwide income. The maximum income tax rate is 45% and you reach this at a yearly income of 1.8 million ZAR=100k US$. You might be able to travel visa free to 110 countries which include the highly popular democracies of Russia and Zimbabwe, but to no other European country.
@@DestinationJapan95 I agree. That is why 45% marginal tax is extremely high for the "privilege" of living in crime-ridden South Africa. There are lots of much safer countries with far lower income tax.
One of the best bets right now is Argentina. You can live well on 1000 a month and like a king on 2000 Easy to obtain residency and with the new government it’s getting better every month people are friendly. Only drawback is you need to learn conversational Spanish as only a few speak English but it’s not difficult. Enroll online in Duo
Seriously! I was expecting maybe some countries on the lower end of the economic or social stability scale which were looking to increase their population by offering cheap/free housing and citizenship (like how some towns in Europe have been doing), but no... you just have to be well-off and/or already have a job lined up in the country. This video was clickbait, for sure.
Mexico is no longer cheap by any standards as it once was; to me equally as important, Mexicans are not nearly as friendly as they used to be toward Americans and other foreigners. I've lived down there.
Lol Mexicans are American just not from the US. The hypocrisy to think US citizens will be welcomed there after supporting trump 😂 Get over yourself. Apparently Mexico’s president said she would deport almost every US citizen if trump followed through with mass deportations

There is a lot to consider when retiring to another country other than permanent residency e.g., healthcare, health costs, crime rates, personal safety, cost of living etc. I have yet to see anything on UA-cam that provides a full costings overview of everything associated with retiring to another country.
@@justme7255 THat is why my first choice upon seeing the chapter breaks was Uruguay. Very stable and in southern Hemisphere - Xmas is in the summer. Sounds wonderful.

I find that unnerving and unpleasant, and my dogs would be freaked out going down the street. The second is graffiti everywhere. I don't know. It sounds like it should not be a big thing, but it's unattractive, and I'd like to live in a place that is appealing. I "walked" around Montevideo on Google street view. There are only a couple of blocks downtown that are visually interesting and attractive in terms of architecture. Downtown, IIR. And I believe it is either in or next to an area with crime. Pickpockets. Maybe muggers. And, while it is less expensive than the U.S., it is not inexpensive. And it is a long, long, long way away. A very long flight to anywhere in the U.S. It was all too bad because it seemed perfect otherwise. Solid economny. Stable government. Reasonably progressive. Friendly people. All the developed areas are on the ocean. It is hard to find all those things in one place any more.

I see these videos hoping, yet at the same time I think, "define 'affordable.'" Not everyone was wise with their money. I have $3000+ in savings -- enough to get me somewhere, leaving most of my belongings behind -- and $925 S.S. income per month... period. It's bad enough my cat would have to get chipped, but finding where to go isn't easy. If you know somewhere where I can afford rent (1/3 income) and have 2 cats, let me know.
I've watched a lot of videos on this and I can't think of anywhere you can live on that income, but you could certainly live better in many countries on that income than you can here. I just think it has to involve roomates, for starters.
I hope that living standards for the native population have improved significantly since the 1990's. We were there when Hurricane Georges hit the Island which was bad for the squatters living in homemade shacks. A lot of real poverty and crime in those days.
I wanted to retire in South Africa. I love the wilderness and friendliness of people there regardless of the skin colour. However, just extending a tourist visa took so long that I decided to travel to other countries. Hopefully, the newly elected government will get the act together rapidly.
Permanent residency on day one for free, as long as you have or make a lot of money (still much more affordable than the U.S., Canada, U.K., etc, but not free).
The only country on this list I’d even consider is Uruguay. Mexico has wonderful food and some really good people, but it also has a lot of scammers, a terrible transit system, and many third world level services. Panama is a pit. Many of those condo towers are largely empty, used for laundering money from China, Russia, and drug cartels. The rural nirvanas, like Boquete and Bocas del Toro are boring, with no culture or services at all. DR? No, thanks, I like being alive. SA? The same.
Yep - this is the AI guy that they are using in various public spaces in Europe. There are a couple of language hiccups, and they made him a bit too animated with his hands and arms in this version.
NONE OF THESE COUNTRIES IS GOOD ANYMORE. THIS INFO IS AS OLD AS MY GRANDPARENTS! BESIDES THEY HAVE A HIGH CRIMINAL RATE. WHY I THINK YOU ARE A LAWYER WHO HAS BEEN PAID TO TELL ALL THIS?
The US should make sure “immigrants” from Mexico have at least $250K in the bank and make $60K a year minimum. Would significantly cut down on welfare.
Lies. only one gun store in the whole country. Most citizens dont have guns. And if they do they dont take them from the home. Its nothing like the USA...
I spoke with a woman last week from the U.S. who's been in Puerto Vallarta. I asked about the crime because that's what I always hear about, too. That and the scammers. She'd lived in a few different U.S. cities and she said she's never felt so safe in her life. Says she can walk around the city at 2AM. Alone. She says the city IS controlled by a cartel, but, because they have major trade with tourists (both through drugs and other businesses), they actually keep it safe... (shrug) I've watched a few different videos about relocating there. It seems the main thing is picking the right city. And sometimes it changes. I hear Cabo San Lucas is unsafe now. And it seem nothing along the northern border, except perhaps a little strip including Tijuana and Rosarita, is safe. Especially along Texas. It's all run by cartels, some very violent. And the cops are corrupt. They pull you over and scam you.
I find it difficult to believe or respect an advisor whose business name has a spelling mistake in it. “Immagration” is spelled Immigration - 3 i’s, 1 a.

Just go to Cambodia, settle in Siem Reap, pay $300 a year and have full rights to work, own any property from second floor up or own anything in your company name, drive on local license, open bank accounts, do anything.
@dudewithamood4673 residence visa/retirement.. That's all you do. You don't go to government offices, just drop your passport at a travel agent once a year and two months later it's back, no hassles, no worries. You don't even need a drivers license for a 125cc little city motorcycle like Asians uniformly use. As long as you don't make problems, they are happy to have you. Siem Reap has over 20,000 expats on that visa, and it's a very nice town. Roads are great, food is great, supermarkets have all types of western food, I mean everything, chicken is a dollar a kg. Or 45 cents a pound if that what you use. Food is clean clean clean and it's one of the big perks in Cambodia.
@@dudewithamood4673 That's what is used as a retirement visa, I don't know what it's exactly called, the stamps are in Khmer, but it is very clear from my discussions with immigration officials and with police etc, just don't break the law in too startling a way, and it will be renewed automatically every year, and you are free to do all the stuff I told you about, I worked for a reals estate agent for a few years, no issues whatsoever, it's one of the last free countries. Just don't pull any arrogant American tricks like wanting everything to be the way you want it to be. You will be out on your ear. It's only issued in the country, you can't get it from the embassy, and you need to apply the right visa type on arrival, so it filters out people who are from countries that don't have visa on arrival agreements. Which means you have to be clever to get on the plane, the airlines want to see your visa. I pulled it off, so can you. You don't even have to deal with immigration to extend it each year, just drop your passport Ata travel agent and pay there. A month or so later your passport comes back stamped.
South Africa? Have you not ever heard the saying 'Voluntarily putting your head into the lion's mouth'? I just accept the word of everyone who's escaped from SA and you can't pay them to move back.
Early to mid 1980s, South Africa under apartheid rule was selling itself as a immigration destination for people trying to get out of communist east European countries, particularly Poland with its crackdown on the Solidarity trade union movement. How many emigres from east Europe got settled in South Africa, started seeing how the country was treating its black majority population and even liberal white activists, and wondered " we fled political persecution and ended up HERE?"

Three of these are the last places I would consider to live in, never mind retire there. Wasn't there supposed to be something about this being a list of countries you can get residency in for free? And it's just creepy the way this AI present this information.
Mexico is beautiful but unfortunately very danger. I consider the monthly amount of income they are asking is too much. The majority of its population income is about $500.00 per month.
Not true some of the things you’re saying,Mexico is one of the most difficult countries to get your citizenship ,I have many friends that married Mexican citizen,have mexican children ,have successful business and still no citizenship after 20 years !
So you get residency on day one because their weather sucks? All these places are too freaking hot. And pay not attention to the weird AI eye placement on this “dude.” 😮
I've read that illegal immigration goes both ways between the US and Mexico. There are approx. 1 million US citizens living in Mexico as illegal aliens.
I would go to Greece and Turkey. Economy still good to live well on $1500 a monthe and the historical locations are EVERY WHERE!!. Ancient, medieval and more modern history. Museums!! Turkey speaks Turkish in latin alphabet, not arabic. Easier to learn. Also while Turkey is muslim, the government and clothing rules are modern and secular.
No, the U.S. is not the only country that offers access to residents or immigrants based on welfare qualifications. Several countries have similar systems or offer social benefits to immigrants under specific conditions. For example: Canada: Certain provinces in Canada offer social services to immigrants and refugees, though there are eligibility criteria. Germany: Germany provides social assistance to eligible immigrants and refugees, including support for housing and basic needs. Australia: Australia has a social security system that provides benefits to eligible residents, including some immigrants, although there are residency requirements. New Zealand: Social welfare benefits are available to residents and some immigrants under certain conditions. Each country has its own set of rules and eligibility criteria, often linked to residency status, length of stay, and contributions to the social system.
The UK let's anyone in if they come by boat and have no identification. They get a blanket, a cup of tea, free bus ride to their all inclusive 5 star hotel accommodation where they're given a bicycle and a phone, then there's free healthcare all UK benefits denied to citizens. Soon they'll be given a free house when they find more benefits to take away from the elderly, the sick, and the disabled to pay for the houses for illegals building program. You'd think I'm joking but it's actually true 🤷🏽♀️
I can't wait for this weird "AI" trend to end, it looks weird, it's repetitive, and it just sounds bizarre. The only good thing about it is that it's a good way to tell which channels to add to the "do not recommend" list

I have $3000+ in savings -- enough to get me somewhere, leaving most of my belongings behind -- and $925 S.S. income per month... period. It's bad enough my cat would have to get chipped, but finding where to go isn't easy. If you know somewhere where I can afford rent (1/3 income) and have 2 cats, let me know.
I've watched a lot of videos on this and I can't think of anywhere you can live on that income, but you could certainly live better in many countries on that income than you can here. I just think it has to involve roomates, for starters.
@@izzytoons I meet the Panamanian income level, but no way do I have $100k to invest.
@@kathyl6677 if you meet the panamanian income requirement, you do not have to have a hundred thousand to invest.
I hope that living standards for the native population have improved significantly since the 1990's. We were there when Hurricane Georges hit the Island which was bad for the squatters living in homemade shacks. A lot of real poverty and crime in those days.
Thank you for your comment. It’s great to hear that you have firsthand experience of the island.
The video has to do with 5 countries and you never identify which one you are referencing.

I wanted to retire in South Africa. I love the wilderness and friendliness of people there regardless of the skin colour. However, just extending a tourist visa took so long that I decided to travel to other countries. Hopefully, the newly elected government will get the act together rapidly.
Permanent residency on day one for free, as long as you have or make a lot of money (still much more affordable than the U.S., Canada, U.K., etc, but not free).
The only country on this list I’d even consider is Uruguay. Mexico has wonderful food and some really good people, but it also has a lot of scammers, a terrible transit system, and many third world level services. Panama is a pit. Many of those condo towers are largely empty, used for laundering money from China, Russia, and drug cartels. The rural nirvanas, like Boquete and Bocas del Toro are boring, with no culture or services at all. DR? No, thanks, I like being alive. SA? The same.
went to Uruguay last year and was robbed, so no thank you

You misspelled immigration. Doesn’t inspire confidence

Hi, all of those countries, maybe exept Uruguay, have very high criminal rates. Good luck with that
exactly - Uruguay is really the only decent choice.
NONE OF THESE COUNTRIES IS GOOD ANYMORE. THIS INFO IS AS OLD AS MY GRANDPARENTS! BESIDES THEY HAVE A HIGH CRIMINAL RATE. WHY I THINK YOU ARE A LAWYER WHO HAS BEEN PAID TO TELL ALL THIS?
The US should make sure “immigrants” from Mexico have at least $250K in the bank and make $60K a year minimum. Would significantly cut down on welfare.
Why would any rule work on the illegals?
Too bad you don’t use actual facts….
Nice information
In Mexico, if you hear a gunshot, don't worry. That one missed you. You won't hear the one that hits you.
True!
Sorry that sounds more like the USA than Mexico.
Lies. only one gun store in the whole country. Most citizens dont have guns. And if they do they dont take them from the home. Its nothing like the USA...
@@destinationmaxdepending on which area
I spoke with a woman last week from the U.S. who's been in Puerto Vallarta. I asked about the crime because that's what I always hear about, too. That and the scammers. She'd lived in a few different U.S. cities and she said she's never felt so safe in her life. Says she can walk around the city at 2AM. Alone. She says the city IS controlled by a cartel, but, because they have major trade with tourists (both through drugs and other businesses), they actually keep it safe... (shrug)
I've watched a few different videos about relocating there. It seems the main thing is picking the right city. And sometimes it changes. I hear Cabo San Lucas is unsafe now. And it seem nothing along the northern border, except perhaps a little strip including Tijuana and Rosarita, is safe. Especially along Texas. It's all run by cartels, some very violent. And the cops are corrupt. They pull you over and scam you.
I find it difficult to believe or respect an advisor whose business name has a spelling mistake in it. “Immagration” is spelled Immigration - 3 i’s, 1 a.

Mexico? South Africa? Is this a skit?
SA is not last on my list, but is so far down that it doesn't exist.
Just go to Cambodia, settle in Siem Reap, pay $300 a year and have full rights to work, own any property from second floor up or own anything in your company name, drive on local license, open bank accounts, do anything.
i was thinking of Cambodia , what do you mean "pay 300$ a year ? " what kind of visa is that ?
@dudewithamood4673 residence visa/retirement.. That's all you do. You don't go to government offices, just drop your passport at a travel agent once a year and two months later it's back, no hassles, no worries. You don't even need a drivers license for a 125cc little city motorcycle like Asians uniformly use. As long as you don't make problems, they are happy to have you. Siem Reap has over 20,000 expats on that visa, and it's a very nice town. Roads are great, food is great, supermarkets have all types of western food, I mean everything, chicken is a dollar a kg. Or 45 cents a pound if that what you use. Food is clean clean clean and it's one of the big perks in Cambodia.
@@dudewithamood4673 That's what is used as a retirement visa, I don't know what it's exactly called, the stamps are in Khmer, but it is very clear from my discussions with immigration officials and with police etc, just don't break the law in too startling a way, and it will be renewed automatically every year, and you are free to do all the stuff I told you about, I worked for a reals estate agent for a few years, no issues whatsoever, it's one of the last free countries. Just don't pull any arrogant American tricks like wanting everything to be the way you want it to be. You will be out on your ear. It's only issued in the country, you can't get it from the embassy, and you need to apply the right visa type on arrival, so it filters out people who are from countries that don't have visa on arrival agreements. Which means you have to be clever to get on the plane, the airlines want to see your visa. I pulled it off, so can you. You don't even have to deal with immigration to extend it each year, just drop your passport Ata travel agent and pay there. A month or so later your passport comes back stamped.
Australia for me!
South Africa? Have you not ever heard the saying 'Voluntarily putting your head into the lion's mouth'? I just accept the word of everyone who's escaped from SA and you can't pay them to move back.
Mexican woooo ❤ did not know this
Early to mid 1980s, South Africa under apartheid rule was selling itself as a immigration destination for people trying to get out of communist east European countries, particularly Poland with its crackdown on the Solidarity trade union movement. How many emigres from east Europe got settled in South Africa, started seeing how the country was treating its black majority population and even liberal white activists, and wondered " we fled political persecution and ended up HERE?"
This video is way off. The AI face is odd to say the least. The permanent visas listed are not places anyone should think of.

@@creimermanlaw Thank you for your comment. I will look forward to your new videos with real people. Again, I disagree with your picks but that is just me.

Whoever wrote the transcript for this AI video doesn’t know what they’re talking about. They totally messed up the Panama Visa information.
THe headline says .......... for free but you need to buy your status.
I don't think there should be such a thing as permanent residency. It should not exist.
Why
Yeah, you can’t have a one world government with closed borders
Mexico...with this much monetry requirement may issue "permanent residency in heaven" within days one gets down from plane...
omg..I wouldnt pass water over any of these countries
If i had that much money, mexico would be the last place i would go. wow cray cray
Three of these are the last places I would consider to live in, never mind retire there. Wasn't there supposed to be something about this being a list of countries you can get residency in for free? And it's just creepy the way this AI present this information.
Mexico is beautiful but unfortunately very danger. I consider the monthly amount of income they are asking is too much. The majority of its population income is about $500.00 per month.
expert cannot spell immigration
If Mexico and Panama is good countries to live in, then why people are running away from there.
Not true some of the things you’re saying,Mexico is one of the most difficult countries to get your citizenship ,I have many friends that married Mexican citizen,have mexican children ,have successful business and still no citizenship after 20 years !
I can't deal with all these AI videos. It's creepy.
hmmm..
Why not include El Salvador's, Crypto investor's program?
It’s not free
dictatorship
So you get residency on day one because their weather sucks? All these places are too freaking hot. And pay not attention to the weird AI eye placement on this “dude.” 😮
Liberia, Syria, Congo, and Iraq comes to mind just need to be a mercenary hehehe
I've read that illegal immigration goes both ways between the US and Mexico. There are approx. 1 million US citizens living in Mexico as illegal aliens.
SO ITS NOT FREE... I thought Permanent Residency on Day One for Free!
I would go to Greece and Turkey. Economy still good to live well on $1500 a monthe and the historical locations are EVERY WHERE!!. Ancient, medieval and more modern history. Museums!! Turkey speaks Turkish in latin alphabet, not arabic. Easier to learn. Also while Turkey is muslim, the government and clothing rules are modern and secular.

Is America the only country in the World that lets you in if you qualify for Welfare?
No. The EU does it too, as long as you claim that you are a refugee.
@@thehun1234 The Suicidal West.
No, the U.S. is not the only country that offers access to residents or immigrants based on welfare qualifications. Several countries have similar systems or offer social benefits to immigrants under specific conditions. For example:
Canada: Certain provinces in Canada offer social services to immigrants and refugees, though there are eligibility criteria.
Germany: Germany provides social assistance to eligible immigrants and refugees, including support for housing and basic needs.
Australia: Australia has a social security system that provides benefits to eligible residents, including some immigrants, although there are residency requirements.
New Zealand: Social welfare benefits are available to residents and some immigrants under certain conditions.
Each country has its own set of rules and eligibility criteria, often linked to residency status, length of stay, and contributions to the social system.
The UK let's anyone in if they come by boat and have no identification. They get a blanket, a cup of tea, free bus ride to their all inclusive 5 star hotel accommodation where they're given a bicycle and a phone, then there's free healthcare all UK benefits denied to citizens. Soon they'll be given a free house when they find more benefits to take away from the elderly, the sick, and the disabled to pay for the houses for illegals building program. You'd think I'm joking but it's actually true 🤷🏽♀️
@@lissamae8719 Um, they don't have visas for retirees, so...

I can't wait for this weird "AI" trend to end, it looks weird, it's repetitive, and it just sounds bizarre. The only good thing about it is that it's a good way to tell which channels to add to the "do not recommend" list
