What happens when a global crisis forces you to rethink everything? For Mark and Hazel, two long-time British expats, COVID wasn't just an inconvenience. Living under some of the harshest restrictions imaginable in Australia opened their eyes to the truth about the direction of the Western world and led them to seek Plan-B options elsewhere. In today's episode, my colleague Marc Clair sits down with Mark and Hazel to unpack their remarkable journey. From their time as corporate expats in Germany to escaping Australian lockdowns to building a Plan-B with multiple flags planted across Latin America, they lay out their full journey for the Expat Money Show audience. Enjoy!

It’s a Sunday at a park in Singapore, and, as journalist Zach Hope observed, it’s the servants day off. They lounge on picnic rugs, shaking off the week of cooking, cleaning – and raising other people’s kids. Singapore has more than 300,000 migrant domestic workers, or “helpers”, as they’re called and many care for the children of expats, including Australians. Today, South-East Asia correspondent Zach Hope on this extraordinary workforce and the system, he says, is premised on profound sadness.Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode is Part 1 of Stephanie's conversation with Gráinne Convery. Make sure you subscribe for Part 2 coming in the next episode.Moving to Ireland is exciting, but the practicalities can make or break those first few months and expend all the energy you have.In this episode, I'm joined by Gráinne Convery of Cronin Group to unpack the real-world relocation hurdles we see every week: the rental market crunch, how to be taken seriously by agents, pet and family considerations, and getting school places sorted without losing your sanity.We walk through the things you need to secure a home before you land, like virtual home searches, the 40% affordability rule many applicants trip over, and the unspoken realities landlords apply around pets, kids, and bedroom allocations.On schools, Gráinne explains how we compare curricula, manage waitlists, and steer families toward realistic options—so children settle faster and parents sleep better.The key thing to note here is planning early. If you understand what agents expect, how affordability is assessed, which developments accept pets, and which schools are actually possible, you'll avoid a lot of unnecessary stress.Main Topics Discussed in this Episode:Ireland's Rental Reality: The housing shortage, agent gatekeeping, and why starting early dramatically improves outcomes.Virtual Home Search: Viewing by video, negotiating on your behalf, handling paperwork, and key collection before you arrive.The 40% Affordability Rule: How many landlords/agents assess rent vs. net income—with examples that catch expats off guard.Pets, Children & Unspoken Landlord Rules: Practical barriers for families and pet owners, and how to target developments where you'll be considered.School Places & Curriculum Fit: How Cronin supports school searches, manages expectations, and aligns international curricula with Irish options.Get in touch with Grainne:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/grainne-convery-globalmobility/Email: grainne.convery@croningroup.ie (and mention the podcast when you do!)Website: https://ireland-relocations.com/*****If you loved this episode or have a similar story, we'd love to hear from you!

Welcome to the one hundred sixtieth episode of the #ExpatChat podcast. We explore the latest tax, investment, and financial issues affecting #AustralianExpats. In this episode, Atlas Wealth Group Managing Directors Brett Evans and James Ridley address questions asked on the Expat Facebook Group. In this Q&A-style episode, Brett and James dive into some of the biggest questions expats are asking right now — from tax residency confusion to superannuation rules, property strategies, currency management, and navigating life abroad. They break down how tax residency really works, the difference between the proposed 45-day rule and the long-standing 183-day test, and what expats should keep in mind before making property or mortgage decisions in Australia. Brett and James unpack common myths around superannuation access and clarify that there have been no legislative changes preventing financial advisers from managing super or investment portfolios for US-based clients. Also discussed are practical topics like foreign investment rules, FIRB considerations, depreciation allowances, managing currency exchanges, and how dollar-cost averaging can help avoid unnecessary FX costs. They also touch on medical insurance requirements for returning expats and the importance of keeping a passenger movement record to avoid lifetime loading. Packed with clear explanations and real-world guidance, this episode gives expats and dual citizens the clarity they need to make smarter tax, investment, and lifestyle decisions while living abroad.

Hallo zusammen, auch heute gibt es neues von der Grünen Insel - viele die sich mit dem Umzug nach Irland näher befassen, stellen schnell erschrocken fest wie schwierig in weiten Teilen des Landes das Thema Wohnraum ist - vergleichsweise teuer mit Mitteleuropa und die Verfügbarkeit in weiten Teilen des Landes ist die Verügbarkeitssituation eher ausbaufähig. Da landet man oft schnell beim Punkt WG-Leben - vor allem für die die ungebunden sind kommt dann schnell der Gedanke auf "warum nicht aus der Not eine Tugend machen" ? Doch wie ist das eigentlich mit dem Thema WG-Leben in Irland ? Die Themen lauten dabei im Detail: Hintergrund des Themas Wie verbreitet ist es wirklich ? Welche Klientele wohnen in Shared apartments / houses ? Vermieterperspektive - bis zu 14.000 EUR pro Jahr Steuerfrei Angebots und Preislage Wie läuft es ab ?

L'aventurier du jour c'est Grégoire Heymans. L'été dernier il a franchi la ligne d'arrivée de la Swisspeaks 700 après 11 jours d'aventure. Avec ses 700 km et 48 000 m de dénivelé positif à travers les sentiers techniques du Valais, cette course est souvent considérée comme l'un des trails les plus longs et difficiles au monde. Cette année, une centaine de coureurs étaient au départ, et seuls 55 ont atteint l'arrivée. Grégoire est quant à lui devenu le premier européen de moins de 30 ans à aller jusqu'au bout de la Swisspeaks 700.Au-delà de la performance physique, la Swisspeaks 700 est une plongée dans l'inconnu. Il faut gérer le sommeil pour éviter les hallucinations, rester dans les barrières horaires, composer avec les blessures et les imprévus, tout en affrontant une météo extrême : chaleur, gel, neige, tempêtes de vent, orages neutralisant la course, pluies diluviennes… Grégoire a tout traversé et il nous en parle dans cet épisode du podcast Les Aventuriers.

Understanding life insurance and annuities is essential for making informed and beneficial financial decisions when moving to America. These financial products differ significantly between the UK and the US. Decades ago, the process of getting insured in the US was much simpler, with far fewer options than there are today.  In this episode of We're The Brits In America, Richard Taylor - dual UK/US citizen and Chartered Financial Planner, and Mark Maurer - President and CEO of LLIS, discuss the complexities of insurance and annuity products in the United States that often take expatriates by surprise when they're cross-border financial planning.  Richard and Mark take a detailed look at:  The key differences between UK and US insurance products, and the nuances of the American market.  The pros and cons of different policy types and how they fit into broader financial strategies.  Indexed Universal Life (IUL) policies, their features, and why they may not always be the best investment option.  The different types of annuities, common misconceptions, and when they might be appropriate for investors.  The potential downsides of tax deferral and how taxation works with annuities.  Income riders on annuities, their benefits, and the cost implications of these add-ons.  More about We're The Brits In America:  With the right financial advice, landmines that threaten expat wealth can be avoided. Often encountered by US-connected expats, these financial landmines are more numerous, more hazardous, and less understood than almost anywhere else in the world. As a result, non-cross border professionals, wealth advisors, and even international advisors are often unaware of them. But don't worry, We're The Brits In America has you covered.  We're The Brits In America is dedicated to helping ambitious US-connected expats and immigrants navigate those challenges — and thrive. Whether you've moved to the US  for opportunity, or are an American seeking adventure and growth abroad, our job is to equip you with the tools and insights you need to succeed.  If you're enjoying the show, please consider leaving a 5-star rating and review to help the mission, which is to help expats and immigrants thrive in America.

Navigating Expat Taxes: Insights for Dream RetireesSnagged a dream place in Puerto Vallarta or Mykonos… and now the IRS is at the door? Today we're joined by expat tax expert Michelle Miele (Director of Paperwork) to decode how U.S. taxes work when you retire abroad. We cover Social Security, IRA/401(k)/Roth distributions, self-employment/online business income, countries with and without U.S. tax treaties, foreign tax credits, and common traps (like selling your U.S. home after you change tax residency). Three real-world scenarios—Mexico, Portugal, and Thailand—show you how this plays out.Key Takeaways:Filing ≠ owing. You'll likely file in the U.S. even after moving, but credits/treaties can prevent double tax.Order matters: generally file where you live first, then the U.S., and use foreign tax credits to offset.Roth alert: some countries tax Roth distributions; plan timing and residency to protect withdrawals.Entity traps: your LLC/S-corp may be treated as a corporation abroad; confirm local treatment before you move.Real estate timing: if selling a U.S. primary home, sell while still a U.S. tax resident to preserve exclusions.Benefits trade-off: higher taxes in some countries may be offset by much lower healthcare and living costs.Related Queer Money Episodes:Ep 614 — Top 5 Cities for Gay Retirement in TaiwanEp 610 — Best LGBTQ+ Retirement Cities in GreeceEp 607 — The $6,000 “Boomer Bonus” Deduction StrategiesEp 599 — Affordable Gay-Friendly Cities in PortugalEp 542 — Gay Expats in Mexico: Pacific Coast EditionChapters:00:11 - Navigating Taxes as an Expat Retiree03:51 - Understanding Tax Obligations for Expats11:34 - Tax Implications of Living Abroad14:10 - Tax Obligations for Expats: A Case Study21:25 - Retirement Abroad: Tax Implications28:09 - Planning for Retirement AbroadMentioned in this episode:Get Your Portugal Golden Visa Faster Here!Want a European passport with access to living in nearly any European country?

In his novel China Running Dog, a young man in his early twenties lives in Shanghai in the year 2000, in a greed-crazed free-for-all moral and lawless vacuum created by the Chinese Communist Party. Johnny Trent, small-time entrepreneur from Basildon in the UK, ends up in China, where he meets Felix Fawcett-Smith, fresh off the boat and from the other side of the tracks. An unlikely friendship begins.Johnny impresses the well-bred Felix with his street smarts until Felix takes Johnny's advice too literally – and too far – and slips into Shanghai's murky underbelly. He enters a world where the Party, power, and connections to them, are all that matter, where criminals are given sainthoods and saints sent to hell.Johnny tries to stop Felix's spiral, not least because Felix is taking a sweet, angelic girl, Anita, down with him and Johnny has feelings for Anita that he has never dared to put into words. But Felix thinks he knows best. Like Johnny, all he wants is respect.It's up to Johnny to save whoever he can, besides himself.Books mentioned in this podcast: Shanghai Baby by Wei Hui, Shanghai by Richie Yokomitsu (transl.

Tax Relief with Timalyn Bowens Additional Medicare Tax   Episode 71:  In this episode, Timalyn addresses the additional Medicare tax that taxpayers are faced with when they reach they reach a certain income threshold.   Before getting into the episode, Timalyn warns taxpayers not to go exempt on their W-4 because the government is shut down. She reminds taxpayers that they will still be responsible for the tax due when they file their taxes in the Spring.  What is the additional Medicare Tax? The additional Medicare tax was created to help fund the tax provisions in the Affordable Care Act. This includes the premium tax credit. The tax amount is 0.9% of self-employment income, and railroad retirement (RRTA) compensation that exceeds certain income thresholds that are set based on filing status.  The threshold for single and head of household taxpayers is $200,000. It is $125,000 for married taxpayers who file separately, and $250,000 for taxpayers who are married filing jointly.  How is the additional Medicare Tax computed?  Form 8959, Additional Medicare Tax is used to calculate the tax amount. The tax then flows to Schedule 2 of the 1040. The amount over the income threshold is what the taxpayer pays 0.9% on. If the taxpayer is self-employed and has a loss, they will not pay the additional Medicare tax on that amount.   For self-employed taxpayers, it is their responsibility to make payments of the additional Medicare tax with their estimated tax payments. If they have wage income, they can adjust their withholding to account for that.  You can check out America's Favorite EA YouTube page for a series on how to fill out your W-4 here: Tax Withholding Employers are responsible for withholding the additional Medicare tax from wages or railroad retirement compensation if they pay the employee more than $200,000 in a calendar year. It does not matter what the filing status of the employee is. The employer does not have an obligation to match the amount that is withheld for the additional Medicare tax.  Expats pay additional Medicare tax too U.S. citizens who live abroad have to pay the additional Medicare tax if their income exceeds the threshold. They are not exempt, even if they are eligible for the foreign income exclusion. This also applies to nonresident aliens.  Need Tax Help Now?

In today's episode we're talking with Katie McCormick, an American ex-pat living in Ireland who is choosing home birth to welcome her baby into the world. Katie and her husband Ryan decided to leave their life in Portland, Oregon - quit their jobs and travel across Europe. About a year ago, they decided to settle in Ireland, eloped and got pregnant shortly after.  Katie knew immediately that she wanted to have a home birth. But being an expat in a new country, she had no idea where to begin as far as planning and resources. To use her words from her email to us: “When we got pregnant we were still living in a very temporary living space (think garage remodeled into a loft) on a sheep farm where we were 2 hours from the hospital, and no midwifes were willing to travel to us, so my initial search for beginning the birth plan kept coming up dry until one day through some magical universal energy I found a woman that recommended our midwife to us! However we would have to move 2 hours south to be close enough to be in her “region,” so thank  the stars we just recently have found a home on the southern coast of Ireland and got the “go ahead” from our midwife that we can birth in this house as we are close enough to her….. We are away from all our family, we are still foreigners in a new environment, yet we just know this is divine timing and this is where our child is meant to be born. The house we are living in now is a 150 year old stone cottage, and our landlady said many many babies have been born here; it feels quite kismet. Most people back in the states think we are little crazy/can't believe we are doing this without family around etc, but truly we have never felt more supported than the community of people in our village, and little did I know we moved to an area where most women prefer home birth and have multiple stories to share. It is a small community, but because it is on the ocean, rugged, and so natural in this area, it is like a vortex of very creative and earthy people-it is an energy that makes you feel invincible.” We speak with Katie in the last few weeks of her pregnancy and get to hear how she's feeling as the time in her pregnancy winds down and they prepare for baby's arrival. She also shares the experience of what's it like to have all of their family back in the States as they plan for home birth in their new home and country. Tune in and get ready for another inspiring pre-home birth story!

After starting her family abroad, Erin chose to move closer to her extended family — recognising what her child and her own wellbeing needed most.Her story is one of courage, reflection, and love: the strength it takes to say goodbye, the gratitude for the friendships and community built here, and the reminder that every goodbye carries a piece of the Netherlands back with it.For expat families, migrants, and internationals navigating life abroad, this episode offers an honest look at what it means to choose home — and why leaving is also part of the journey.Listen to honour the shared stories of our community — and to say thank you to Erin, for reminding us how connection, even across distance, continues to shape our families and our lives.

Buying a home in Ireland can be one of the most exciting and daunting parts of an expat move.In this episode, I chat with Rob Priestman, Business Development Manager at EBS, who's been helping people secure mortgages for over 20 years. Rob's also an ultra-marathon runner, which might explain his stamina for navigating the twists and turns of Ireland's mortgage market!We talk through what's really happening in the market right now and what expats and returning Irish need to know before applying. Rob explains how Central Bank lending rules work in practice, how lenders assess affordability, and what to expect if you're earning in a foreign currency (including why only 80% of that income is typically taken into account). We also cover practical essentials like getting “mortgage ready,” working with a solicitor or buyer's agent, and why opening a euro bank account early on can save you trouble later.The key thing to note here is that every case is different, but Rob's advice will help you plan ahead and approach the process with confidence. His calm, practical insight is a real reassurance in what can be a complex journey.Topics Discussed in this Episode:Changes in the Irish Mortgage Market: Rob outlines how lending practices have evolved since the Celtic Tiger years, with Central Bank rules now enforcing stricter loan-to-income and affordability criteria to ensure borrowers can manage repayments.Getting Mortgage-Ready from Abroad: We discuss the practical steps expats should take before applying—understanding costs, securing mortgage approval in advance, and assembling the right professional support team including a solicitor and buyer's agent.Foreign Income and Currency Considerations: Rob explains how lenders assess non-euro income (typically taking 80% of its value to allow for currency fluctuations) and why having a euro bank account is essential for repayments.Understanding Affordability and Repayment Capacity: We look at how repayment capacity is tested, including why existing overseas rent or mortgage payments must still be included until you return to Ireland—often reducing how much you can initially borrow.Buying vs. Building in Ireland: Rob shares how the process for self-builds mirrors that of a purchase, with extra focus on documentation and costings, and stresses the importance of starting conversations early to make the process smoother.Get in touch with Rob (and mention the podcast when you do!):Email: rob.priestman@ebs.iePhone: +353 879 037 867LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-priestman-3767277/*****If you loved this episode or have a similar story, we'd love to hear from you!

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have GüteGüte is a mama of one from South Africa, and a coach with a passion to support mothers with connecting to their intuition and a natural way of living, especially in the perinatal phase. Contrary to modern myths, Güte has found natural birthing and mothering, and the lead up to it, to be the most self-actualising process she's ever experienced and that she continues to enjoy.During her pregnancy she decided to pivot her coaching practice to support mothers, as she realised how isolated they tend to be. She is co-creating a world where mothers are part of a loving network, with the perspective and knowledge to find joy and meaning in pregnancy, birth and motherhood.In today's episode she shares about her pregnancy and home waterbirth in London as a South African Expat, and how it took her on a journey to lean into self-responsibility and intuition as a way of avoiding medical intervention, without needing to fight, but by creating a safe and nurturing environment, with support from wise mamas. Her first surges came when her parents landed from South Africa early in the morning. She was supported by her loving husband and doula throughout her labour until she roared and raged and birthed her baby into the water shortly after the midwife had arrived.Curious about Güte?
