Best Passports, Visas, Countries and More Mind Blowing Facts! (Interview w/ The Nomad Capitalist) 

Wow, thanks!

@@AmeliaAndJP JP, was your spine issue a genetic condition or what instigated it? Was it painful?

Same here! Great stuff.

This is exactly what I was going to say! I love both channels, so this was an excellent video for me!

😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

besides healthcare sometimes it is cheaper to stay here in the US. When my mortgage is paid off it will be the same for me.. and I plan on doing some hopping between the continents.

​​@@anniesshenanigans3815Agreed beside rent, healthcare and services like getting your house cleaned The USA isn't that expensive especially when you factor in infrastructure and product choice. More so if you need to fly back once or more a year.

Agreed I live in 🇧🇷 now but I like max out my stays abroad, 90 day visa I'm staying 89 days.

Except, most places only allow 90 day visas. 4 places for 3 months each year is more realistic...

@@CumbiaDancer5678 true. Mexico is up to 6 mos. Panama is 180 days. Albania is 360 days. But yea if you were doing the Schengen shuffle you could do 90 days in between countries. I assume that is what most people are doing now. What the Nomad Capitalist is talking about is getting residency and hopping around 3/4. Which is not affordable for me.

@@anniesshenanigans3815 Albania is 365 days for US citizens. As a Canadian, I get 90 days. Thanks for the info on Panama. It used to be 90 days there for most everyone. Panama & Costa Rica were not allowing visa runs for the past 10ish years so, that change is a plus for people who want to stay longer. Peru & Chile used to give 6 months for Canadians. Now, they each give 90 days. I'm more interested in SE Asian countries so, haven't really been keeping up to date on the Latin America market.

Latin America helps make slow travel more affordable by moving from typically one 90 to sometimes up to an approved extension to 180 days per year visitor visa per country. Just stay away from getting yourself into an unnecessarily more complicated tax situation if the country you were born in taxes worldwide income plus you stay too long and end up owing taxes in another country as well. SE Asia is intriguing, and I'm keen to experience as much as possible. Travel to the region costs more from North America - but you could travel from a closer region if you are already there or plan strategically, and there are more - but not all - SE Asian countries which were only offering 30 day visas on arrival. Countries such as Thailand and Vietnam, for example, have now increased or are increasing - the number of days of their VOAs, if you're from a country which the host country finds on the list as eligible for such VOAs. Vietnam has brought back its 60 day VOA after reopening for 30 day VOAs following the beginning of the COVID-19 Pandemic. It is possible for some people to slow travel from next door to nearby country: Many people begin in Latin America where those 90 day VOAs are offered and can often be extended up to 180 days per country. It's important to enhance one's knowledge of world geo(political)graphy and languages which will be instrumental in not missing out on nearby affordable travel destination based on glaring gaps in geography and foreign language education from a young age...in the USA, for example. Best wishes and happy travels Unconventionals who are searching for the different places in the world where your be treated best! Thank you JP, Amelia, and Andrew! 💙🌎🌏🌍💚

@@c123ray Vietnam is currently at 90 day VOA & Thailand is forever stuck in the 30 day Visa Exempt for many countries.

We’re part speaking at his event this year 👍

@@AmeliaAndJP that is fantastic! You guys just unlocked the master key like in a Zelda game.hehe

Thanks! 😊

@@AmeliaAndJP You’re cordially welcome A & J, TY for your international research, info., and channel. (also, this info is v important eschatologically (end times) prophetic). The USA, one must emigrate out of. Will send links on channel in future, for research, praying, evaluation. Definitely sending info for your / the channels knowledge. All good now. Thanks again, see A & JP channel soon - Pt. 1 (this info y give and The Nomad Capitalist, actually v. critical). Just thinking now, here is an example of a great channel in the USA; it’s full of problematic news (lol, but not funny, really) just par for the course of what’s happening in certain key areas of the country. This channel paints an important portrait - Michael worked in Real Estate, but he’s a great analyst of real estate data overall and what’s happening in the USA. Fascinating (in not really a good way). RU-vid, Michael Bordenaro Channel. He broadcasts, if that’s the correct wording, primarily within the Miami Beach area. But his commentary is National (not completely global yet - which he will surely be on board soon with that perspective…hopefully….shortly)

We intend to tell the Nomad Cap Channel we saw his interview with Amelia and JP Living Abroad Travel Channel and were thrilled. Intend to tell him we saw the interview and were very happy to see it from two of our top channels we view. He knows us from prior commentary, etc., want to express our happiness with the interview. V Nice.

Thanks!

Glad you liked it!

Awesome!

Thanks!

PS - I'm currently reading books: Nomad Capitalist and Expat Secrets! Review to follow...hahaha!

Thank you so much!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks!

Is your new base camp home in the USA? It’s so expensive now to find other homes so I’m thinking of buying overseas after I slow travel. I think I’lll just throw stuff in storage and sell my house in Los Angeles while I investigate other countries.

Glad you enjoy it!

Indeed!

Resale can take a very long time ...

Last year Nomad Capitalists Live in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, was $20k USD in 2023 when a ticket was bought in advance. I only know this from watching Andrew Henderson's Nomad Capitalist Videos and subscribing to his emailed newsletters.

I think their point was that they wouldn't put a LOT of money in Ecuador. I don't think 30k in a CD ist what they were referring to.

COSEDE only covers $32k. Andrew was talking about where to put a million or more and Ecuador is not the place for that much money.

Okay, thank you, point taken - however as in all things there are “thresholds” Also there are different situations ie. If your source income is in USD or Euro’s your situation is different to someone who has negative currency arbitrage (7% loss per annum😳). 200k in multiple CD’s across multiple / 3 banking sectors would make all the difference (?)

Mexico has become expensive in a relatively short period of time.

@@manuelericmijangos499 Most areas of Mexico are still very cost competitive compared to most areas of the US. And the areas in the US that are cost competitive I would not want to live in.

Caught its repeated use; not a big fan since "options" or "alternatives" would suffice.

He caters to super high wealth individuals.

@@goldvideo Yup. It would be nice if there was a service that did not only help high end investors. Even if it was just to identify possible passport options based on ones situation. How difficult could that be?

@@whacked00 To be honest with you, Andrew gives great advice on his videos. I did a intro consult (gratis) with one of his staff a few years back and she was very helpful and gave me some good ideas that I ran with. Maybe those on a budget could do the same.

@@goldvideo yeah, think Andrew and JP/Amelia are speaking to entirely different audiences. This showed when he mentioned Ecuador and Albania being “cheap countries” where JP/Amelia have spent time. I saw that as being exclusive. He said this twice.

No wonder he is recommending Switzerland, the most expensive country in Europe.

That’s why we created our Live Abroad Program. It doesn’t cover investments but it does cover living abroad: ameliaandjp.com/academy/live-abroad-program/

I don’t think that’s how it works but worth looking into.

@@AmeliaAndJP Did some research and found that DNA is currently not a path to citizenship. All the programs I found require proving decent via documentation. I received my Spanish citizenship that way.

Same….there’s a bit of flexing going on here.

He's the best speaker ever, no sugar coating.

Fair point, I reckon.

Thanks for disagreeing so respectfully. We don’t agree with everyone about everything, but this is a great opportunity for us to get our message in front of a much larger audience. Individual working age people like us minimizing our tax burden is a lot different than corporations that lobby our government to pay zero taxes or even get money back in the form of subsidies. The issues with healthcare in the US have nothing to do with paying more taxes. It’s a corrupt system that puts profits above people. I have no confidence it will ever be resolved in my lifetime, and thankfully was able to leave and get it somewhere else for a reasonable cost. We pay for private insurance and other costs ourselves. We don’t use the public system.

Healthcare hasn't gotten worse in the United States because of a lack of money going into the system. As a percentage of GNP, we spend significantly more on healthcare than the next highest country. The last I checked. In other words, we pay more than anyone else in the world by a lot. And our metrics have been getting worse every year. No matter how much money goes into the system. The same thing is true of our public education system. The United States has always been one of the highest spenders on education on earth. And our educational outcomes in grade school education keep getting worse and worse. It's not a question of lack of funding.

Feel the exact same way as you do. Although I don’t visit his channel anymore.

Maybe you’ll learn something from him. It’s good to get different perspectives on politics and ways of life.

Same. Was a little surprised so see Amelia and JP rubbing elbows with this guy. He’s always talking about where to park your money and how to avoid paying taxes. I could say more but I’ll stop there. But I saw him 2 years ago and my first thought “He’s all hat, no cattle”

Pay your fair share? The United States is fairly unique in that it taxes income earned while you are in other countries. Most countries don’t do this. They only tax you for income earned within their territory. The logic of that is obvious. Because you’re not getting any government benefits or services. I'm not sure that fairness is the right term to describe the system.

What part of my income is a government’s “fair share”?

Nigel is a jewel 💎 of a person

Yeah he mentioned being tired of the political discourse as being a reason to move and then says of all people Farage is speaking at his event lol. Why not bring in Tucker Carlson too.

If he rails against paying taxes, who pays for the services (including the military to keep us safe.)…wish I was a fan.

@@janhertzberg1797 I get the impression these are people gaming the system. Paying taxes that support the system is “for other people.” And yet they also pay a price for the nomadic life they lead. Not everyone is cut out for constant moving and change. Plus I would think it very difficult to have children in this lifestyle, and furry family members that give so much joy.

😂

Why keep citizenship in a county which taxes your income wherever else you live. Citizen of the US is a prisoner of the US tax system.

Agreed. And it’s not cheap to do so. If you own property in the US and have a 401k there, you have to sell both and pay the govt their 30% before you exit the US. So, then you’ve now got no US passport (nor passport-preferential way to get into the US to visit family), and you’ve already paid your future taxes. And, the state dept doesn’t have to grant your request to surrender your citizenship. If there is another world war or major skirmish in the world, I’d much rather have the US passport and safety than save a few bucks on taxes. And btw, taxes in many of those countries he spoke of are quite high compared the the US (Spain and Italy, 45%+ plus each has a wealth tax, which taxes your global assets every year), and yet most have tax treaties with the US to prevent double taxation.
