Montenegro: A Hidden Gem On Europe’s Secret Riviera
Yeah sorry I don't give a fk about your Amazon or Netflix in Mexico. Get on with it ..
Right off the bat I have to question why you used video footage from someplace other than Mazatlán (and didn't say so). I agree with @anainmazatlan - your guest speaker is a snowbird, not an ex-pat/immigrant. He also has a few insignificant things wrong (for example - nope, no Wendy's here; the malecón is not 10 miles long; ...), and forgot to mention that in addition to property taxes, you will have a fideicomiso (bank trust) if you buy property here - and that is a lot more than $190. Also, maybe since the speaker is from California/Arizona he didn't experience much of a culture shock - people from other areas of the USA or Canada definitely will. The culture here is NOT the typical culture in the USA/Canada. Most crime in México is not like everywhere else. Violent crime in México is mainly targeted between cartel members (and between cartels and police, politicians, and journalists). In the USA crime is random - you never know when you'll be in a shooting just going to a mall or movie.
Costs???
Costs???
I LOVE ATHENS ❤❤❤❤ What do you mean you hate it? 😮😂😂
"expat" You mean immigrant?
You forgot Hopkins
So, you are very wealthy. Not my deal.
Great overview of Madeira. It's been on my watch list for a while, and frankly my biggest concern is simply having to book a flight in order to travel anywhere else.
Lol. This video has nothing to do with a retirement crisis in the U.S.
Is it better than Algarve?
We bought a condo about 6 mile north of the bridge at San Pedro. It is probably the most expensive part of the country. Both property and food are quite expensive. Then it has a lot of entertainment and close access to the barrier reef. We love our ocean view. The people are very friendly.
Thanks for the great play by play! Coming to Boquete in a few months to start at least until I dial in my Spanish a little more, Panama sure is beautiful! Also can't wait to go fishing.
What about getting citizenship From UK?
End of short still and I'm waiting to see some beaches. Just saw stones and cliffs
Is the 293k in savings path available to persons under 50 years old ( non retired) ? On MX government website i read that its 64 years old + only. And can this account be in the name of a wholly owned by me company, or must it be in my name?
I went there today and they dont sell ice cream but they do sell pinacolada
Proving your bloodline is relatively easy. The real difficulty is getting an appointment to present your documents at an Italian consulate. It can take years to get the appointment
Hi I'm age 60 Canadian and retired. I'm looking for some contacts at a suitable location close to the beaches and city I could rent, either a 1 bedroom or 2 that is affordable. Thanks.
I have a question about a viager la there someone I can speak with about this?
Thanks for this information! Btw, do any of the documents need to be apostilled?
Europeans dont want so many US immigrants in Europe
My retirement in the US isn’t enough to live on here and now it’s not enough for Mexico either😢
My parents had to renounce their Italian Citizenship to obtain a Canadian one back in 1964. Due to that, I can't become an Italian Citizen by decent.
I think many would like to know how one goes about owning property in Spain as a tax non-resident and is able to get around Spanish taxes.
I spent a month in Valencia in 2017 and enjoyed it very much but I'm wondering...what are the key differences between Valencia and Alicante from a retirement perspective? Specifically, I'm interested in the cost of apartment rentals.
Interesting video with a lot of good information. However, I would like to clarify some things. First, a true expat is one that has moved full time to a different country. A snowbird who visits for up to 6 months a year is definitely not an expat. Second, the rents quoted in the video are for furnished places primarily in the tourist zones. If you live here full time, as I do, you would more likely want to rent unfurnished which can bring the price down significantly although those places are harder to find in the tourist zones. Third, what wasn't mentioned as an adjustment are the cultural differences. These can be significant when living full time here or anywhere for that matter. For example, expectations of Canadian or US standards for services. Here you need to have a lot of patience and also accept that it may take longer to get things done and it may not be exactly what you expect. I've been here full time almost 14 years and I love it! I rent a small 2 bdrm unfurnished house in a quiet "colonia" (neighborhood) only 10 minutes away from the beach and all the "action". My basic expenses (rent, water, electric, cell, internet) run about $500 USD ($700 CDN) a month.
I’m curious where you came from. It sounds like Iowa. We’re from Miami. Sounds a lot like Miami but cheaper.
Hi! I’m. Local developer and we have a very unique project under construction in Historic District. Would be great if I can share some information. We already have US and Canada clients that purchased units. Best!
I love how they call themselves expats instead of immigrants 😂
There are no monkeys in Dominican Republic lol. There's a couple of monkey zoos but those animals were imported for the tourist attraction.
Will you please explain the bank thing? How do I access my U.S. account while residing in Mexico? Do I need to open an account there? Like if I decided to stay there for 6 mos. mol, for regularization, I would need to pay rent, and pay bills, etc. I've contacted an attorney there, but he is quite expensive to hire... I'm retired and seriously exploring this option, I live in Florida. I understand I must drive or fly in, as a tourist and then renew/apply for residency at a local immigration office. Thank you.
... yes, you can open an account on an tourist visa.. Intercam is the bank you should choose, although permanent resident I have an account there..need proof of current (Mexican) residency, a decent credit rating... yes they will check... ID and a valid FMM or stamp in your passport... Moving money to Mexico... check out the WISE money transfer services... excellent.. and it's real easy.. just a few clicks of the mouse and within seconds your money is transferred from your account in Canada or the USA to your Intercam account in Mexico. I use Canadian e-Transfer, a service which interfaces with WISE...and they give you the interbank rate..NOT the bank rate. NEVER unless you are a 2 or 3 week tourist, use an ATM...their fees are quite high.
Les européens ne veulent plus d'immigration en général. Donc essayer d'améliorer votre style de vie aux Usa, sécurité, système de santé et arrêtez d'envahir le monde.
It's getting very expensive. And now there's to many gringos.
Just a sales pitch. It's very expensive. And Way to many gringos.
If Europeans cannot retire in America, why should Americans be able to retire in Europe? Nobody here likes Americans. Europe and America are civilisationally antithetical.
if you move your pensions there it will be taxes. the cost of life is unsustainable, it's dangerous. very bad idea.
Hi there, are you living in France? Why the cost of living is unsustainable, and why is dangerous? Many thanks!
The taxes in France are huge. You can't save money in France, it's the worst country to save money in Europe.
Tant mieux restez chez vous. La France ne veut plus d'immigration.
La France ne veut plus d'immigration !
Did they lockdown during covid?
The consulate in McAllen is still lenient regarding the financial requirements, but they are doing this for Texas residents ONLY and not taking in appointments for those coming from out of state.
How about the Seattle or Boise consulates? What are the thresholds for them?
My GGF was Italian and through that connection I'd like to request IT citizenship. However, all papers were lost in WWI, WWII and Balkans wars. I don't even have his birth certificate. I'm pretty sure documents were lost in IT during time, as well. I don't know much about my GGF so I can't provide info. Should I keep on going that way, or simply quit and go for another visa type? Thanks! 😊
I looked into Costa Rica for dental implants and I am still getting emails from a dental clinic down there. I really don't know what to do but I have to do something soon.
France far left is even more radical them Americans far left movement!😂 Makes AOC and Elizabeth Warren look middle of the road!😂
You think that the "country folk" that are in bed by 9 that she's been describing are far left radicals?
Very helpful! Thank you!
No a expat an immigrant IMMIGRANT!!!!!IMMIGRANT!!IMMIGRANT
Funny how all white people from the USA call themselves "expats" instead of immigrants. I mean you obviously see how you treat immigrants in the USA so I see why you would want to distance yourself from that dirty brown people word.
Safety..???
Easy? The income requirement and the savings requirement automatically make it the hardest👎
Thanks for sharing God bless
