Episode description
Did that "pipe dream" idea of moving abroad + leaving the USA get a lot more serious in the past week, post-election?
We get it. We talk through the first five steps we recommend to get you on the path to moving abroad in the next 12 months.
- Research your top potential locations for affordability, safety + climate
- Choose your path: residency visas, 90/90/90/90 in and out of Schengen countries, or citizenship through heritage
- Work with a CPA + immigration attorney to review finances + prepare
- Make work decisions - if you aren't with a company that supports remote work or can not retire yet, consider making a move to a company that does.
- Research local real estate listings, not only for price ranges, but for the cultural differences in living in certain areas abroad
