What if you make $1,100.00 per month from disability is that okay or would the disability part hurt for a DY visa?

Just to confirm, does that mean that enrollment in some type of schooling is compulsory starting at the age of three in Portugal?

Absolutely bad information. Minimum of 7-7.5 years in Portugal total. The AIMA is 400,000 applicants behind. 5 years is the residency requirement only! After the five you can apply for citizenship which begins the wait of 2- 2.5 years of processing

Why is it that hardly any of these kinds of videos discuss (or even mention) the potential tax implications? Not only do tax rates vary across the EU but the requirement to spend a minimum period of time in one of these countries almost always carries tax implications.

This was great information. YOU are a GREAT COMMUNICATOR!! I could listen to you all day! :)

No country is easy to move to, for americans. Anything different from USA makes no sense to them. And everything is different in any country, or nothing is normal in America, if you reverse the perspective.

please dont send your stupid people here

What about fluency as in English, some Spanish and little Portuguese; would matter if you only know enough to get by?

Hi....how many months of passive income needs to be shown for portugal d7 and when can i apply?

Research taxes before doing any of this. If you have more than U.S. social security as your income (ie investments, pensions etc), all of it will be taxed as income. Plus, the wealth tax situation is prohibitively costly and applies to unrealized wealth such as the unrealized gains of stocks. Essentially, all your nest egg for retirement will be taxed to the point that there are no more gains for yourself; it will all go to the government. Some autonomous cities in Spain have been fighting this, but the courts have recently declared this form of taxation as constitutional even though it is truly a confiscation of your family wealth. Be very careful.

👌🏼🙏🏼

Switzerland is looking for scientists and intellectuals! brilliant country, money is also welcome as always, go and check with local consulates!

I hate leftists and democrats in the United States. Indeed, I am contemplating moving out of the country because of that.

How can you compare these two countries without considering income tax ......This is a critical element, especially if someone has different sources of revenues that will put him or her above the minimum threshold brackets of these countries......

Thank you so much for this amazing video! I need some advice: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?

Girl, if yall don't stay home...don't come over here please

Anyone who picks up and leaves our country is nothing more than a chickenshit, for 250 years millions have died protecting our democracy and our constitution so we Americans could live free.. And now I hear they want to run away not fight for what's our God given right to be free.

Can you do Italy vs France?

There is a quicker way, at least in Germany. Get there as a temporary / permanent resident, pass Deutsch B1 level language exam let's say through Goethe Institut and live there for 5 years -> you may get the passport. Pass Deutsch C1 (almost native level) and be well integrated for sure and 3 years would be enough. To confirm this way, search for New German Immigration Law 2024 or Germany new Naturalization Act 2024.

What about paying taxes in either Spain or Portugal while still obligated to pay US income taxes?

One of my biggest complaints about these videos is the sloppy use of the terms "visa" and "residency". They are not the same thing, and experts should take more care in using the terms correctly. Take the D7 visa in Portugal as an example. This visa is only valid for 120 days, and then expires. That's it. There's no "renewing your visa". What happens is that during those 120 days you are meant to get an appointment with the Portuguese immigration authorities (AIMA) to obtain a short-term residency permit (the Título de Residência). The first permit is valid for 2 years, then renewed for 3 more years, and in 5-year increments after that. (side note: AIMA is currently swamped with a massive backlog, so most new immigrants won't get their residency permit card for a few months). So, you technically can NOT work on a D7 visa, but you are free to work in any capacity on your residency permit card. In reality, a great many people do remote work while waiting on their residency permit card, since they are still tax residents in their previous country. Tax residency kicks in about the same time most people get their permit cards, so things tend to work themselves out. But, this can be sort of complex, and being sloppy with terminology doesn't help. Visa ≠ residency

Are those income requirements your pre-tax income or after taxes?

What's all this talk about visa and applications? Any country that I can just walks in and get free housing, phone, food, healthcare, money, etc, etc?

What about U. S. taxes? Do you pay them forever? Or if you become a resident, do you ignore U. S. taxes?

Are the amounts you list gross wages or net wages?

I thought a Spanish judicial ruling meant that the NLV did not carry any particular time in country requirement. Not true?

Which is the best country between Portugal and Spain to live whit lower taxes

What about taxes? Also Spain doesn’t allow you to remain US citizen if you become a Spanish citizen. That means you lose your Social Security, which is a big deal.

With the election results - there WILL BE a long line - don't even expect to move for years! (It doesn't matter which country you try. Any desirable one, that is.)

Wonderful brief overview, thank you!

Can a foreigner on d7 visa purchase residential property in Portugal?

How about taxation? As it wasn't mentioned I guess it's a tie at 30-40% on dividends, capital gains, rental income, interest, pensions,... ?

Can you use savings and income from savings to get either visa? Or does it have to be Social Security and pensions and annuities only?

Which of these countries loses with higher tax brackets? That's the more important cost long-term.

If I had a D7 visa in Portugal and had a UK pension paying €45,000, how much tax would I pay?

Many years ago my Dad had an option to move up the ladder at work with a pay increase. The problem was the job location...Flint, Michigan, USA. Moving to the U.S. was problematic, but we did have relatives in New York & Michigan...it was leaving behind friends, immediate family and moving to a city where we knew no one that was the problem. Thank God we didn't move...I can only imagine the horror of being a young adult in modern Flint, Michigan.

GEORGIA ??? I would never 🙄

What about Canada, you can save the airfare and drive!

i know someone trying to move to Portugal and he said he had to go to court

Those from Latin American countries (including Puerto Rico) can apply for Spanish citizenship after 2 years of legal residence in Spain.

Don't bother coming to Canada. You made your bed and now you can lay in it.

Most important thing she missed is that Spain will not do dual citizenship but Portugal will, which for most expats is important

We actually have a retirement visa for Panama.

Started watching it since she said second passport and the first place Spain…hello Spain does not do dual citizenship !

Add. The Philippines 🇵🇭. I travel to and from there for 40+ years. $1 US = 58.81 Philippine pesos. Affordable. American English and Pilipino are official languages. Friendly to Americans.

Should my first step in getting the D7 Visa contacting an immigration lawyer? We need some help.

I wish you would include information about expedited paths to citizenship in the countries you review. If you or going to retire in a country, citizenship might have advantages.

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 up here. I do not get much road noise because I am on the ninth floor. 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.

You won't get citizenship in Portugal in 5 years. They are so backed up and not efficient so make that 7 or 8 years.
