Fascinating video! Would love more details on eligibility criteria and application processes. Thanks for showcasing these opportunities for a new chapter!
I am honestly shocked by every single country you have mentioned! I could see myself moving my business to many of these countries. Thanks for posting! I appreciate the work you do!
Japan has a strange cultural thing where if someone dies in a house, nobody wants to live in that house anymore. There are thousands of beautiful houses in the country that you can get for a song. The country is beautiful but from what I gather it’s pretty hard to be accepted by the locals as an American. They’re still not too stoked on that Hiroshima Nagasaki deal. Understandably
not understandably, they brought that on themselves, they forced us to do it, they turned us into killers just to survive them, then McArthur forgave them and we paid to rebuild their country, not understandably!!!!!!!!!!
Such an intriguing topic! While countries offering incentives are fascinating, it would also be great to explore the best places to live based on overall quality of life. Looking forward to more insightful content
That was an amazing video. I wish that I was younger and could have taken advantage of these opportunities. For those who are able to move to these countries, they should do it…
i've tried living in a foreign country twice and the only way I'd do it again is if I had so much money that I didn't have to worry about them paying me to be there. Living in a foreign country comes with a lot of difficulties unless you have a ton of money on hand.
I've spent the past 5 yrs in Europe traveling and living on just my small (under1200 a month) social security. Very affordable compared to the US with rents alone more than my monthly income.
I have dual citizenship Ireland and US. I reside in the US. Over the past decade I have failed to be able to complete a residential purchase. Housing is VERY tight/expensive and the workflow to buying property is a byzantine nightmare. We have changed our goals on housing and now looking only to rent. BTW - IMHO the food is no longer bland. Indeed, it has become some of the best available in our extensive travels.
@@jasb1176 Moving to Ireland - probably smart (depending on where you are moving from, the assets you have to bring with you, etc.) Starting a coffee shop - probably not so much (you'd be late in the game).
The grass is rarely greener on the other side....New Zealand has a terrible housing shortage,strict immigration rules and the incentives for business entrepreneurship is mostly going to millionaires. Buy a delapidated home in Japan, Spain or Italy and expect super high costs of materials and lots of red tape.
Hey Briggs, wanted to point out that your statement about Danish culture is a little misleading. It is generally pretty difficult to get into Danish social circles but once you are in you are in for a great ride, if you want to use a cheat code it’s alcohol (speaking Danish, Swedish, or Norwegian helps). The beautiful thing is that you don’t have to drink yourself you just have to be part of the group. On the same side of the coin if you want to shut yourself in and socialize occasionally then you will also be just fine. While Copenhagen attracts the most attention, small villages in Jutland desperately seek residents. Also want to emphasize that not all Danes are into drinking culture but most social aspects do involve drinking alcohol. Love the video!
Do you think we wouldn't if we could? Putting an ocean between me and Texas is very tempting indeed. Sadly I have responsibilities here but maybe one day.
Great video as always. These countries all seem to welcome entrepreneurs. Does anyplace welcome writers and other artists? Thanks for all your hard work.
Just seeing this now. Is that really what you think about writers, musicians, etc.? That we're freeloaders? I guess you don't know anyone in the arts. Most of us are dedicated professionals who work second and even third jobs to pay the rent so that we can do what we love. FYI, I've been working since I was 14 (I'm 74 now). I can just imagine what you think of the disabled! (I'm that too.) Not trying to start an argument; just offering a course correction. Thank you for your time.
I was in Ireland a few years ago to see where my Dad came from and left when he was probably 20 here to Alberta, Canada. The food was awesome. The taxes were so high to buy anything, have and drive a vehicle. It was beautiful and loved the Irish accent. Funny thing growing up with my Dad's Irish accent I never heard it. Thought he sounded like everyone else.
I spoke with a friend of mine who lives in Austria, and I sent here this video. She told me that Austria is not paying foreigners to come to Austria, pure and simple. This video is absolute nonsense I'm sorry to say. The red flag for me was when the video stated that Dublin is the safest city in Europe, when in fact it is one of the most dangerous in Europe.
There are a bunch of those that are super tempting. Spain & Denmark are two of my favorite countries that I've visited. Austria is no slouch, either. Chile was pretty cool, but I'd have to spend more time there to get a better feel for it. Switzerland is really tempting, too, but I'm too old by a couple years. I suspect that'll end up being a problem for me in the future, as I'm not rich, I don't have kids, and I'm getting older. It is super expensive in the cities. Geneva is probably the most expensive place I've ever been, but out in the smaller towns, it's not so bad. Alas, a lot of these countries are looking for young people that have or want to start families...or rich people. Still...live in Denmark, and snow-bird in Spain? There are worse ideas.
The last sentence was wonderful... love both countries but my issue would be the food 😢even though Denmark 🇩🇰 would probably have a much better palette then Spain 🇪🇸 😅
@@PomegranatesWeather , I actually really like Spanish food. And I'm a city boy, so staying in Copenhagen, Madrid or Barcelona, there would be access to most types of food. Heck, I had Peruvian rotisserie chicken in Barcelona (because it was open & close when I needed it), and it was great. Copenhagen has become one of the great world food cities, too. It's just those danged dark Danish winters that I couldn't handle.
I've been to S. Korea and I liked it for the most part. The people were very friendly. I didn't care for most of the local foods but other then that is was very nice. I would definitely go back
There are some serious caveats with those countries that are paying money for you to live there too. They are definitely going to require their pound of flesh.
Wow, this is such an interesting concept! I had no idea there were countries that actually pay you to live there. I’m curious, what are the requirements for moving to these countries? Are there any specific income or job-related conditions you need to meet to qualify for these benefits? Would love to learn more about the details!
I am a Kiwi left 38 years and moved to Aussie and then went for a holiday 22 years ago to chiangmai Thailand and been here since No way I would return to NZ or Assie now retired and life is great
Briggs, I lived in Japan for 5 years while in the military and I have never heard anything about paying you to live there. Where did you get that info if you can share it please?
Living in Switzerland and watching to this video, I was expecting to find a better place to leave and start a business than here, as I don't see any of that you're talking about. Except for rich people 😂😂😂
South Korea, Thailand and Vietnam do want English speaking people to come to teach English. The catch is that you must have a BA in any thing and you must be from a English speaking country. Cambodia doesn't require a BA but English has to be your first language.
Ireland does not pay you to live here. If you dont have a degree at a very minimum, good luck getting any kind of job that will support even 1 person. Add to this the cost of living and housing crisis. Good luck.
Wow, fascinating list! Learning about countries that pay you to live there is mind-blowing. Thanks for the friendly insights and sparking wanderlust. Time to consider new possibilities!
Hmmm...Japan. Tsunamis; earthquakes, floods? No thanks. S. Korea sounds tempting, but the proximity to N. Korea...no thanks. Denmark is cold. Same for Switzerland. I'm not an outdoor enthusiast, food is important to me, so Ireland doesn't do it for me either.
Would love to know more about NZ. I’ve been trying to find a way to move there for years. Their immigration is complicated and restrictive. If you are on their green list jobs then you have a chance but otherwise it’s not easy at all. So not sure how you get in even if there is truth to them paying you to live there.
Wow I was looking at our immigration requirements here in nz not long ago and was actually shocked at how easy it seemed to be! USA on the other hand is a freaking nightmare to get into..
No its useless i am living in Wellington cost of living is high, its best you visit before you make a decision if not its like jumping from the frying pan into fire
Just some advice. My sister is teaching English is Seoul. You will want to teach in canon Seoul locations due to parents treat teachers as their children’s Nannie’s. And you get negative from parents and no support from the school
Teaching in asia's awesome. I've did this for 20 years.I'm going back August Japan is great korea's great and the country that i'm living in now is fantastic I tried to relocate back to the states.It's not possible
I can write from personal experience about Thailand. Xeno Thailand is DEFINITELY not going to "pay you to live there." There is no reciprocity in civil and property rights, despite the fact that over 300,000 Thais have a U.S. green card with full rights. U.S. taxpayers have also sent billions of dollars to Thailand since the Vietnam War in the form of free aid and military defense guarantees. I notice you didn't mention visas. You will NEVER a permanent resident visa in any of the Asian countries. And teaching English is a dog's life for low wages. You may barely cover your own living expenses if you work LONG hours. The only real choice for an expat these days is Latin America, where Westerners have reciprocal PROPERTY RIGHTS and the permanent residency visa is fairly easy and quick, less than two years in some countries. You could teach English there, too, if you really wanted to.
It's unfair to show big cities in Spain while talking about small villages in the mountains with no infrastructure, jobs, schools or public transport!!!!!!! No doctors too, for that matter... If you're not going to start a company, Austria and Denmark are just going to be plain very expensive.....Living is Switzerland is expensive for Europeans, imagine for Americans...it is extremely expensive! From the supermarket to housing.... You need to have a very high income and.... if you have that, you'd probably not be considering leaving your country!!!!!
It's not bland I'm Irish all I want in my food is salt and butter not the spices of other countries that overpower and cover up the natural flavor of simple foods
Would any of you move to one of these countries?
Ireland
Where are these links? I couldn't even spell the Italy place. How do I find these programs to research more?
Yes, and i love to live in switzerland because its a calm beautiful place, very peaceful as well
In sout corea paid you because pooitics know that she wil war soon began north corea maybe rusia. Who paid you to live in other country anyway?
Denmark paid me to live in her?
Than tel me how to i move there?
Briggs, how about a new metric? How much do they pay janitors or some other job that's entry level? Maybe a dishwasher or receptionist?
One man's cleaning toilets is another man's opportunity to move to Europe and start a new, better life as a sanitation professional. I guess?
This was fascinating. Thank you for sharing this with us.
BTW- Brigadoon is Scotland, nae Ireland.😊
Our lease renewal is coming up...and going up.
Just in time Briggs!!! 😅

You were talking about 2 small villages in Spain, but were showing video of Valencia. I doubt those villages have much in common with Valencia.
I was thinking no way those villages would be next to the coast
Bats, maybe?
Barcelona. And it's probably just stock footage.
I was going to make the same comment
Wow! Thanks Briggs. If it doesn't work out for me in the United States, I will happily move on to Ireland. Love from Pennsylvania
No. Ireland is banning meat and farms.

He forgot to talk about the high taxation rate in some of those countries.
Japan has a strange cultural thing where if someone dies in a house, nobody wants to live in that house anymore. There are thousands of beautiful houses in the country that you can get for a song. The country is beautiful but from what I gather it’s pretty hard to be accepted by the locals as an American. They’re still not too stoked on that Hiroshima Nagasaki deal. Understandably
They like black guys
I'm equally, if not MORE, ticked off about the reason why the USA was in that war in the first place. You know, the JAPANESE bombing of PEARL HARBOR?
not understandably, they brought that on themselves, they forced us to do it, they turned us into killers just to survive them, then McArthur forgave them and we paid to rebuild their country, not understandably!!!!!!!!!!
Maybeee don't start a war attacking Pearl Harbor. Whats the saying the more you F around the more you find out.

Getting paid to live in a new country - the dream! Thanks for showcasing these incredible opportunities. Ready to pack my bags and explore!
Mind-blowing video! The idea of countries paying you to live there is so intriguing. Great finds and super informative
The old saying, the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.
No, Briggs-- Brigadoon was in Scotland (Highlands).

I'm sure someone may have mentioned that Brigadoon is (supposedly) in Scotland.
I am interested in finding properties in Italy needing some work, getting paid by a municipality for living there would not be bad either.
Interested so where should I start

There is no reciprocity in civil and property rights, despite the fact that over 300,000 Thais have a U.S. green card with full rights.

Do they pay me monthly for life or just one time only if I choose to live there?
I was expecting a 'Stop typing! I know Brigadoon was set in Scotland not Ireland.' But it never came.
This could be really useful to a young friend of mine who's desperate to get out of Afghanistan. Thanks!
Everybody says the food is bland in Ireland, but the food is fantastic in the better restaurants.
