Mark I loved the video,so glad you showed the real saipan in real time. Not the tourist version. Keep up the good work, finally some real information!
Thanks mark for all that hard work putting this info video together for us.
I found the video very informative.
I am moving there, as a single retiree.
A quiet and relaxing atmosphere from all the mainland headaches.
Not looking to chase Women, or drinking, or joining any fraternities.
I prefer a wholistic simple life style, a little house and a garden,
No parties, No gangs No drugs.
Just moved to Saipan and I love it here!
Now this is a great vidio this is what people wanna see great vidio especially me lol 🤣 I'm coming to saipan need learn all I can very excited to go to saipan start new life there
Awesome video, Mark! Great as always
Wow you gave me more information than I could ever find on my own . Thank you I owe you a drink buddy . Tommy
Appreciate the time you spent in sharing so much information. I'll definitely look you up when I get there. I'll be needing a few of your island's T-shirts.
Great video, thank you so much for sharing your insights.
Thinking about moving there next year.
DONT DO IT~!
Just subscribed…….you are a patriot like me and i totally agree with you about why you would choose to move to Saipan.
OK, WE'LL SEE...HOW LONG YOU STAY
That's a lot of info on this clips. Thankfully.
Thanks brother you're doing a great job...
Thank you Mark!!
좋은정보 너무 감사합니다:)
시청해 주셔서 정말 감사합니다! 😁
Very informative. Good job.
Great Video Mark ! Next one should be an Indepth look at Monthly Expenses. Cellphone Service. Electic Bill. Cable. Gasoline. P.O. Box. And Water. Is the Tap Water safe to drink ? Available to use ? Or is Bottled water the Norm there in Saipan ? Just waiting for my Wife to Retire too ! Thanks Again Mark !
I can't do a Video about that because everyone's Expenses are Different, every Phone Plan is Different, Every Internet Plan is Different, Every Apartment Rent is Different, some Apartments Include Utilities and WIFI, others make you pay for every little thing. Some Apartments don't even have a Phone Line in them!
My Cellphone Runs from $80-$100 a Month, and I hardly talk to anyone.
My Electric Bill is around $120 a month, but I use the AC if you Rent an Apartment that doesn't have AC you are going to save a lot.
I Don't Watch TV so I Don't pay for Cable, (Why am I going to PAY for Commercials, ? I Pay UA-cam $12 a month for AD Free UA-cam - UA-cam Premium)
If you have your Own Internet, it is going to Cost you around $80 a month
I don't pay for Gas, I don't drive a Car, I ride a Bike everywhere. Gas is around $5 a Gallon.
I pay $30 every 3 Months for my P.O. Box which is a Private Mailbox, if you get one from the Post Office the price is going to be more.
Tap Water is Definitely NOT Drinkable!! Most of the Tap Water on Saipan comes from Rain Water that comes down the Roof down the drain pipes into a Big Tank, then an Electric Pump Pumps the Water from the Tank into the Building. The Problem is Rats and Birds get into the Tanks and Drown, and no one checks the Tanks unless the Carcass of the Animal starts plugging up the Pipes. So you have Dead animals Floating around in Tanks if they are Lazy about leaving the Covers off the Tanks. So you ARE going to have to Buy Water. I spend about $15 a Month on Water, and $15 a Month on the Garbage Collection. Everyone Buys Water in Large 5 Gallon Jugs Delivered by Trucks or you can pick up the Water at your Local Store. I don't recommend buying Individual Plastic Bottles because the Plastic has Chemicals in it, that gets into the water. I use Empty Corona Bottles for my Water. I put them in the Fridge. 😁
Also a Big Factor is What are you going to EAT?
If you plan on eating out everyday it is going to Cost you at least $30 a Day. $15 a Meal on Average. You can get a Taco Bell CrunchWrap for around $5.75 😁
I Cook everything in a Rice Cooker, I eat Rice and Veggies, and different kinds of Meat. Sometimes I will buy a Package of 3 Steaks for around $20 and BBQ them off. Sometimes I buy a Pound of Hamburger for $4 and Make a Big Hamburger.
A Large Meatlovers Pizza at Java Joe's in Dan Dan will cost around $27 (With extra Cheese)
So it really is going to depend on What your Meal Plan is, and how you plan to Eat. You can eat Cheap, or Expensive. Beer is the Same way, Corona is $2 a Bottle, in the Store, in the Bar it goes for $6 a Bottle, American Beer is a little cheaper, but I don't drink American Beer unless I am forced to (no other choice). Cass a Korean Beer, is $1 a Can or $1 a Bottle. That's pretty reasonable for me. But I Prefer Cornona and XX Ambar when I can afford it. 😁
I hope this helps.
@@marksawesomeadventures Thank You so much Mark ! A wealth of information right there ! Greatly Appreciated !
Hey Mark. Have been watching all of your videos. We are moving there November 1. We wanna meet up and buy you a Corona. Tried to email you just figured out how to comment on UA-cam. Lol
Your Video Making is good
Unless, tourism start to pick up again. My intention to move there in 2017 was to grow vegetable to support myself along with my day job.
I like your attitude, there are a few Chinese who came here thinking just like you, they rented some Land on the other side of the Island, they grow vegetables and they put them in a Pickup truck, and they drive around during sunset time to all the Restaurants and sell directly to the Restaurants and Grocery Stores. You cannot lose with a Business like that, people ALWAYS need Food. There is a Whole Abandoned Pig Farm on the other side of the Island, all you would have to do is buy the Pigs the Structures are all still there! 😁
I would like to thank you for all of your information. I saw 1 bike tour company down there do they have any scooter rental or jet ski rentals.
In front of a Couple Hotels sometimes they have Wave Runners for Rent but I have no idea how much they are. There are NO SCOOTER RENTALS on Saipan, they have Off Road ATV Rentals but no Scooter Rentals.
It’s beautiful
What the prices for KFC, Taco Bell, and McDonalds compare the main land US? Also, I hope you get some good footage from Saturday.
It's about the same prices
👊🏾🤘🏾🤙🏾💯
hey mark, are the taxes any cheaper there than in the states? thanks
I can't give any Tax Advice, there is literally a WHOLE ARMY ARMED WITH GUNS, in the U.S. (Who act like Total Nazis) just LOOKING for people to destroy their Lives about Tax Law.
If you want to know about Tax Law you are going to have to Look up a Tax Accountant in Saipan and Call them up on the Phone and Talk to them.
Or do your Own Research on the Internet just Search out "CNMI Tax Laws"
What I can say, based on MY Experience, and MY Opinion, is Saipan Tax Laws ARE Different than the U.S. it is POSSIBLE to pay Less Taxes Living here, but you are going to have to Work that out with a Tax Accounant. Basically what the Law says is 1st year you are Living here you are going to have to Pay U.S. Federal Income Tax, after you have established Permanent Residence here, (IF YOU DO NOT have ANY Property or Afiliation with the U.S. Mainland, Hawaii or Guam AT ALL) Then you can fall under CNMI Tax Laws. Which are filed differently than U.S. Taxes. For many people this CAN be significantly less money. But everyone's situation is different, so you are going to have to Consult a Tax Accountant.
Thanks for Watching. 😁
Thanks for all your information Mark what does it cost you for a month there to live
I find it very difficult to survive on less than $1200 a month. I don't have a Car. If you plan on getting a Car you will need more. I also don't go out to the Bars or Massage Parlors, if you plan on doing any Partying you will need more for that too. I don't eat extravagantly, most days I only cook Mixed Veggies and Rice, if you need to buy Steak everyday or eat Shrimp or expensive food, ADD money for that. Some stores charge as much as $60 for 4 Steaks! I can't afford to eat like that. Average price for Restaurants is around $15 a meal.
Does Saipan have free public swimming pool ?
@@russellstigall4375 they used to, but it has been Closed down for many years
Does CNMI have 5G yet?
I have a 5 G phone, I have only picked up 5G once for about 5 minutes
Is there any kind of medical care there? Any hospitals there?
If you Watch the Video, I talk about that, and I Show you the Hospital and the Hospital Website. There are also Clinics, but I cannot give you Details about whether they can handle YOUR Medical Condiitons, you will have to Call the Hospital and talk to a PR Rep.
Another question I have is do they sale smokeless tobacco there like Skoal or chewing tobacco I like that now then I don't smoke or drink or do drugs but like dip Skoal now then lol 😂do they sale that there or is it time to quit lol 😂 also a lady online told me insurance on a car is only paid once a year unlike here in the mainland where i pay monthly car insurance monthly so if that true then that is a big savings on monthly expenses as well also shoulld i bring some unlocked cell phones with me i dont know how everything works there but i think i have to get sims there or cheap cell bill there any information on the cheapest cell bill there how that works
Yes, some larger Grocery Stores have it, and if you watch closely you will see a Liquor Store I talk about it, they have all that kind of stuff.
@@marksawesomeadventures well if your back in the place your talking about getting a beer can you take some photos send me privately of the Skoal or what kind tobacco they have there and the prices I'll buy you a beer when I arrive maybe we have barbecue and make another vidio lol 🤣 thanks mark
Electric scooters with 20-30 miles range would be perfect to travel around.
I agree! 😁
I just read someone say on FB that there's no planes coming into saipan! is it true? and he said that saipan is not doing so well and it's bad there! nice place but you can never own a house unless you are a native of that island. what about college? is there any college or university?
If you watch the Video I SHOW You Videos of the Planes and I talk about exactly how to Fly into Saipan. Watch the Video again if you missed it.
If you want to Buy Land go to Guam. If you are not going to buy Land then what are you worried about? You can get a 50 year Land Lease, and sometimes 100 Year Land Lease, what more do you need? The Primary Focus of the Video was for Digital Nomads not people looking to buy land.
Your friend says "It's bad here"? They are Rioting in the streets in some major Cities in the U.S. and you think it's "Bad" here? 🤣😂 That's funny 😁
How much are YOU paying for Rent? I only Pay $350 a month for a 1 Bedroom WITH Air Conditioning! 😁
Saipan is whatever
Main industry is tourism but ever since pandemic, it's been horrid
There's a community college
Yeah you need that blood to get that land (not talking about leasing)
How's the internet quality there?
If you watch the Video all the way through you will see a section in the Video where I run a Speedtest, and I show you how good the Internet is on an average Wifi.
do have to show a passport to visit or live in saipan? we are usa citizens
I have links in the Description to the U.S. Customs Website, you can Read all the information on that Site. U.S. Customs does not Require a Passport, HOWEVER YOUR AIRLINE MIGHT! Airlines often Require either the Real ID or a U.S. Passport, this is to Track suspected Terrorists, so check with your Airline. And read the U.S. Customs Information.
Excellent video.
Any entertainment on the island?
There is Live Music at Godfather's Bar, there are Festivals every few Months that offer all kinds of Cultural Dancers, the FBI pretty much squashed all the Strip Clubs and Dancer Bars here in Saipan, so there is none of that here anymore. There is a Movie Theater, there are Illegal Chicken Fights some times, that's pretty much it.
@@marksawesomeadventures Thanks, just wondering, if I did move there, I would like to be able to get a gig once In while.I have a variety show- singer/ musician comedy.I like the beach vibe, I performed on Marco Island for 4 years and loved it, but the cost of living was just too much for my budget.
Thanks again for this wonderful informative video.cheers
@@Onemanshowforever Musically you would probably be able to do okay, as far as the Comedy thing, it's a big maybe, I did Comedy in Hawaii for a while, the difference between Hawaii (for example) and here, is many of the people here understand very LIMITED English. And the things that many Americans do Comedy about here, has no Relevance, they don't care about it, so they are not going to find it Funny. That's IF they can even understand what you are saying. So not real sure how the Comedy thing might go here. You can try it, see what happens. 😁
How much it cost to move their?
It depends on what you plan on doing once you GET here, if you have an Income, figure, couple thousand for the plane ticket, thousand for deposit and rent, buying brooms and stuff for your apt, maybe a thousand for food and Living expenses, I would figure roughly around $4000 or $5000 would get you here and set up okay.
I Arrived with $7000 but I made a mistake an bought a Car for $2000, and the guy ripped me off and sold me a Junker, then the Mechanic ripped me off for another $1000 so don't make those kind of Mistakes and you will do okay.
Can I transfer my SSI Disability?
There IS a SS Office here, if you look close at the Video I Filmed the outside of the Building. I also included it in my "Retirees" Video. Call them or talk to your Local SS Office and ask them if you can Move to Saipan and Transfer your Case there. I am not an Authority on the Subject, so I cannot give you advice on it. Other than to talk to the people who ARE the Authorities on it. You also want to make sure Saipan has Medical Services that can meet your needs before you move there.
I’m selling out my jade business I’m retired my pension 2,000 plus my profits from my jade . I’m sure I can manage there . I been thinking about moving to Ecuador I lived there before but the visa thing I don’t want to deal with .any jade shops there?
There are very very few shops that sell Jade, I think if you wanted to Sell Jade you could do okay, the Whole Island is full of Asians and the Tourists love that kind of stuff so I think you could do okay. I would get your Business License to set up at the Weekend Market on Saturday and try it there for a Couple Weeks, if I was going to do that kind of thing, I think I would try to Whole Sale Distribute to all the Chinese Stores, I think you would do much better if you did that. Why work so hard? Just put your stuff in other people's stores then Fly to Thailand and Shop for other Gems and stones. 😁
REFRESHING! For this former expat excellent update. Thoughts of returning will contact you 7Oct2023 - Lee
