I moved abroad in 2006, thinking I would try it for awhile and see if I liked it. I have since seen the world, gained fantastic experience in working online and abroad, and honestly– I can’t imagine my life any other way.
Depending on if you choose to live somewhere long-term, you may decide to set up a permanent business structure there, or in another country like Hong Kong. Part of deciding to live abroad indefinately means needing to make these kinds of decisions. Be sure you check with other expats, get their stories, recommendations, and fully understand the ownership, tax, and legal obligations in each country before you decide. (Many countries will not let you own majority shares as a foreigner, so be very careful!!)
Every country has specific and (annoyingly) ever-changing rules about how long you can stay, and the frequency of times you can visit. This also changes depending on what country your passport was issued from. My recommendation is always to check out a place for a shorter trip to determine if it is somewhere you feel you can work. Most issues arise from:
- Length of visa and leniency of repeated visas
- Currency exchange – you want to get more for your dollar by living cheaper places
- Internet speed and accessability
- Finding local friends and other expats to build a community or second “family” with
