Very informative video as usual. Madeira has so much to offer at a very affordable price for many people. I always enjoy your yearly budget breakdown. Prices have gone up there, but they seem to have skyrocketed where we live in California. Nice job in refining your videos since your start there in Madeira, though the early videos were also packed with helpful information and charm.
That's awesome that you are still watching! We miss you guys and hope to see you again for a visit. We will keep working hard to provide helpful content.
Thank you for guiding us in moving abroad! Your videos are so expiring and you kept us encouraged to make the big leap. While it was a tremendous amount of work it was worth it! Thank you so much:))))
They are. That's why I gave them the you. The real estate in Madeira us very high. There are many places I. Portugal that are much better. Just so you know Claudia supplied them because she is out there every day trying to find places for people.
@ItllBeFun hi we're a couple from Texas we're thinking of this as the second home possibly permanent but we've never been there we're planning for 6 weeks this is a scouting trip
Thank's for giving us an update on current costs in Portugal. My husband and I want to move to the main land but we are awaiting for all of the state side situations to resolve before making a move. I fear that the bottom will drop out here and Social Security will be tampered with. Don't want to be stranded abroad. It is the unknown of supplemental medical and taxes that I can't get resolved that are the biggest hurdle.
Thank you for an informative video. I'm drawn between going to Setubal or Vila Real San Antonio. I have friends in Madeira but I'm not sure it's the right place for me. Mind you, l haven't been before. 😊
Ola, It's worth checking them all out it will be more cost effective in Setubal or Vila Real San Antonio. But at least come visit Madeira!!!! It'll Be Fun!
POPULAR SETUBAL is happening now but massive proportion of the moving activities properties have significant impact decisions on the necessary demands for prices!
Quick question have yall heard anything about when the etias program is going to start? We tried to get it done today but the website says it isnt taking applications
Olá! Thanks for being here. Here is some basic information the EU's Entry/Exit System (EES) is expected to launch in 2025, with ETIAS starting approximately six months later. Specific months have not yet been confirmed. Travelers should monitor official EU sources for updates. And here are some official and reliable sources for updates on the EES and ETIAS: 1.

EU Entry/Exit System Information travel-europe.europa.eu These websites will provide the latest news and detailed information about the implementation schedules. Hope this helps.
What about annual Portuguese taxes? I read it’s a worldwide annual range from abt 15% to 48%. Have you found these tax brackets to be accurate? Where do u bank in the US? Do u have a US domicile for voting, banking (retirement accounts, etc), and filing taxes? Also, what are the inheritance laws, I don’t want to leave a legal mess for heirs
Ola ! Glad you are here. Come join our monthly online meetup group at www.patreon.com/itllbefun and come take a look at our Ultimate Moving Abroad Program at www.itllbefunretirement.com, where we cover all your questions. Hope to see you soon.
CHARLES SCHWAB brokerage account is keeping good enough for non-resident citizens, but they may ask for your Portuguese tax identity NIF number, because of their own reporting status requirements! REDOMICILE to South Dakota in a few days, for the best state without increasing income taxes! Fortunes are keeping good enough for the favourite thing of brave courage!⛑️
Boa tarde! Once we withdraw from them we will pay the USA tax and then any additional tax required by the Portuguese tax authority. It is all based upon treaty agreements and the amount we remove.

We are on the island of Madeira. We originally lived in Sao Martinho and now are in Santa Cruz.

Interesting
You mentioned you have US IRAs. Are they being taxed by Portugal?
Boa tarde! Once we withdraw from them we will pay the USA tax and then any additional tax required by the Portuguese tax authority. It is all based upon treaty agreements and the amount we remove.
Thanks, Alan. Where are you from in the Chicago area?

Nice video though i think this is good for people retired. Need to find capable work for people that still working.
We're glad you like the video. Maybe we can find some work opportunities on Madeira soon!
ALLOWING domestic work in the Portuguese markets is one of the unique things about the situation with the necessary temporary residency permits for the "D7!"
COMPLEXITY comes with the entrepreneur "D2" for proving the necessary demands of the moving activities business environment intensive reorientation progressive increments stepping stones across the streams type thing metaphor; and the remote working contracts for big companies "D8" is the new kid on the scene!
