Your home country would probably want to tax You public pension, though. But Portugal has this clause that it does not tax private pension income and someMèo Đen wrote:There's always Portugal
Retirement income is not taxed. Recent legislation allows resident foreign retirees to receive pension income in the country tax-free. The law also provides for reduced taxation on wages, intellectual property, interest, dividends, and capital gains.
Severely undervalued property market. Real estate in Portugal is undervalued and among the most affordable in Europe. Further, Portuguese real estate has one of the most favorable price-to-rent ratios (a measure of the profitability of owning a house) and price-to-income ratios (a measure of affordability) in the region. What that means is that housing is cheaper to buy and investors can make more money from rentals than in many other European countries. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/kathleen- ... 74654.html
countries who have given up their taxation rights on private pensions are now furious that Portugal doesn't tax it so this clause might come under pressure.
Another good thing is that under certain conditions, if You retire in Portugal and become resident any capital gains from another EU country are taxed
in Portugal at 0% tax, so selling off Your company when You retire can be cheap in Portugal if You plan a little.
Another benefit is of course no visa requirements at all for EU citicens, just need to register residence and that You have access to free medical care
by bringing the EU green medical benefits card. This latter aspect is seldom mentioned but it becomes of crucial importance as You age beyond traditional
alkie expiry date of 57.3 yrs or whatever GavinMac wrote is his article about some reasons not to move to Cambodia.
Then there is also Spain which is more exepnsive but has warmer waters in the Mediterranean. And for the desperate there are Romania and Bulgaria though
I wonder if they are more developed than Cambodia.
I just wonder about the Aussies and Kiws, I guess they would not find it so easy to get a visa as would the Americans. And soon the British.
Mayb time to go home to Oz, get off the beer and work as a taxi driver until You've saved up the THB800k needed for a retirement visa. But then
You also need the clean criminal record and the health check passed...

Portugal ?
I traveled all over the world for 18 months non stop when i was a lad . We bought a van and drove from the UK to Morocco and back and the only place I got robbed was in a campsite outside Lisbon. Cost me a small fortune in wetsuit replacements.
Thieving wop Portuguese cunts.

Having said that... Apparently the guys that bought Oporto chicken to Australia were very large coke dealers that wanted to wash money through takeaway outlets. That chicken business went bonanza and they eventually gave away the powder for the poultry. Still

My plan B is Thailand, with a retirement visa and forays into Cambodia.
If I did not have my daughter in Australia, I would spend May to end of September in the Mediterranean - possibly the Algarve that I loved back in 1986 when I spent a lot of time there, or southern Italy, (finishing with the Octoberfest in Munich) and the rest of the year in Asia or on the West Coast of Tasmania playing golf. There would be no visa problems with that lifestyle.
Parts of Europe can be very reasonable cost wise, with good beer!

Note to self: Must be nice to morons.
The Algarve is not on the mediterranean.

Come on, don't nitpick now. That's already remarkable for an Australian American to correctly place a couple countries in the south of Europe.slavedog wrote:The Algarve is not on the mediterranean.
I'm in southern Spain right now. Infrastructure is very good and cost of living/eating out etc not much higher than Cambodia. Housing costs higher but still quite affordable, plus of course you can buy property in your own name. Tons of Asian food options at €6-15 for a full meal. Cars are cheap and gas about 1.2 per litre. Brits who moved here on a British pension feel the pain as the£ continues to sink but those who make a living and property owners have it way better than back in the UK.
Andalusia has been turning into European Florida for the past 30 years, but the mugshots are more expats than locals, so no homesickness to fear for the average 440 drifter.
Portugal definitely a contender, with a friendly population. What l prefer about Spain is the huge numbers of low cost flights to anywhere else in Europe.

Another thing to consider is the "rather homeless in Japan than upper class in Cambodia" factor. In a place like Spain You can stay comfortably in any ramshackle building (within reason)
and eat the cheapest discount last-day-before-expiry food at the discount supermarket chain. Also healthcare is usually subsidized. And there might actually be cheap reliable public
transport available. So total cost of living as You say can be quite comparable to any SEA country. If You just want a decent apartment on the cost there are plenty offers for less than
€100k with 1-2BR.

Blott de tama fåglarna har en längtan, de vilda flyger.
to live in those countries the topic starter mentioned could indeed be easy and much better than here, but if you would need a passport for your Cambodian spouse than it becomes harder for example: Sechelles
There are two permanent resident options available for investors. Type 1 requires the investor to invest $1,000,000USD or more in a business physically located in Seychelles and to have resided in Seychelles for at least one year. Type 2 also requires an investment of at least $1,000,000USD but also at least 5 years of business association as a result of the investment (there is no residency requirement for the Type 2 option).
