I've thought about living in one country (Portugal) but then decided to Flex-Pat instead. If you don't mind not being fully permanent, you can generally live in many countries for up to 3 months without having a visa. In the UK and Ireland you can extend it up to 6 months at a time. You just have to leave that country after three months and go to the next one. You could also just come back. This is for more nomadic people who want to travel the world. If you are a naturalized US citizen, you could do this for decades, never returning to the US and never losing your citizenship..Doing it this way, instead of obtaining visas avoids the bureaucratic red tape but you also have to be flexible and not mind moving around. It's a great way to see the world.
The nomadic life is a wonderful option for those who don't want to settle down somewhere. Do you think you'll stay put somewhere one day? Or is the nomadic life better suited for you?
@@SheHitRefresh I may eventually settle down in one country if I find one that I like. the Flex-Pat option is actually a good way to find that out without committing to one place. There are Americans who, for example, commit to one country, go through all the red tape/make a huge investment and then find out later that they don't like living there some even after purchasing real estate that they then have to sell. Why not live in different countries three months at a time say for a year, until you find that one that you love and makes sense for you? it's kind of like renting before buying. Thanks for your channel and the opportunity to comment.
Where in the world do you want to move?
