Join our Overseas Living Clubhouse at https://www.facebook.com/groups/overs... Here are the questions addressed in today's episode:Ernest C. writes:I will be ordering your subscription in the near future but in the meantime, I have two questions.I have been told one has to be in Belize to open a bank account but you say no. Also, you said rent for as low as US$800 per month in Belize. Isn't that a typo? Can it really be that affordable? Thanks for responding.Andy P. writes:Kathleen, you wrote recently that every property market worldwide will be affected by the pandemic crisis but not all negatively. You said that the "survivalist" market-for properties in places where you could live comfortably off-grid and self-sufficiently-will become more sought-after than ever and therefore more valuable. You mentioned land in Cayo, Belize, specifically. Acquiring land in Cayo, Belize, sounds interesting to me. Can you tell me more about this, please?Jack B., writes:I have narrowed down my top three locations where I anticipate residing in retirement—Panama City, Dubai, and Cartagena, Colombia. Can you share your pros and cons on each long term?Philip M. writes:I am a subscriber to GPA and Simon Letter. Thanks for your help in getting me this far. I have both a Roth IRA LLC and a Roth solo 401k LLC and wish to purchase some residential property in Panama. Both are U.S.-based LLCs There are enough funds in the Roth IRA LLC to fund the entire purchase. Can you please point out the advantages/disadvantages of buying the property either through the LLC versus having the LLC create a Panamanian Corporation (I understand there are 2 types of PC SA and SRL) or a Panamanian Private Interest Foundation?I know I have to report the value when I submit my yearly valuations, but do I report elsewhere that I have a PC or PPIF?Finally, can I have my Roth IRA LLC and solo 401k LLC be co-owners of the Panama company or the Panamanian foundation? I do appreciate your insight.

Here are the questions addressed in today's episode:#1: From Alex S.:I am currently in Panama and looking to find solid CD options abroad (can be Panama or another country but not the United States). Can you recommend solid banks in Panama or abroad that have good options?#2: From Ada H.:We are looking for a bank where we don't have to travel to, as our government advice is to avoid travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic.I am not sure if this is possible?#3: From Sue H.:I’m a single 69-year-old gay woman. I was thinking about buying in Panama or Costa Rico. Are there any friendly gay communities in these countries?#4: From Ari M.:I have lived in Panama City and found the heat and humidity oppressive. I would move back to Panama to a place like Boquete except for the constant rain. I would consider Belize, but isn't it steamy, too? Would you have any suggestions?#5: From Vern C.:Kathleen, I’ve been reading you for a very long time and, like you, I love Belize. I'm looking at buying a beachfront condo. Any feedback you could provide? Thanks.SHOW LESS

Join our Overseas Living Clubhouse at https://www.facebook.com/groups/overs... Here are the questions addressed in today's episode:#1: From Marcella T.:Kathleen and Lief, I have been reading your recent suggestions regarding becoming more self-sufficient with interest. I’m looking at Belize or maybe Portugal. I would love to begin pursuing my plan but am unable to fly anywhere outside the United States for the foreseeable future due to COVID-19 travel restrictions. At this point, I can't even apply for a visa or that all-important second passport that might gain me entry to a foreign country. Any suggestions (preferably legal)? Thank you.#2: From Robert S.:I’m a 76-year-old male in good shape who is on the proverbial horns of a dilemma about picking up stakes lock, stock, and barrel and moving from Northern California to either Costa Rica or Panama (both places I've been to several times). I would like to know what the best info is that you can give me about how to ship all of my worldly possessions. It’s a three-bedroom house full of stuff plus a Harley Davidson motorcycle, a Yamaha jet ski, a GMC Suburban, a rototiller, and lots of gardening tools plus a power washer and two pieces of Bowflex workout equipment.I know this must be a big order but also know that you will be able to successfully point me in the right direction to obtain some great answers to these questions and thank you very much for your advice and information on this very important request that is very important to me and also thank you for all the work you do.By the way, I know you and Lief have Irish citizenship so should mention that I’m originally a Kerryman! #3: From Paul C.:It's tough wanting to change my life and move overseas. I'm 62, a painter, and I live in Seattle. My family thinks I'm nuts for looking and reading your information. But in Seattle here nothing is affordable. I am interested in a more self-sufficient lifestyle and have been reading your information on this closely. However, I really want to be part of a village. I’m not built to be alone. Seems now I need to work four more years. Then I will have $2,000 a month in retirement income. Most countries look for guaranteed income. Will this be enough?#4: From Joan S.:Lief and Kathleen, I hope you and your family are well during these crazy times.I am wondering about the copper mine housing investment in Panama that you have written about. The information you’ve reported is that Bern corporation is building a housing complex for the workers called Casa Pintada. I would like to know first if this is still available but also if you are familiar with the developer Empresas Bern, or Bern Corporation. Do you have any experience with them?#5: From John J.:Could you recommend an investment advisor in the United States that could advise me on overseas investments?

We don't even know if they will let us travel from the United States right now. We have our SS income, but who knows if it will be worth anything long term. I appreciate your insights and would like your feedback. I'm hanging onto each loose dollar right now, trying to make a plan.Shirley W. writes:Thank you for all your info. I am curious if you still think moving to Asia is a good idea and if so where? How would Asia compare with destinations in Europe and Latin America? I am concerned about my health care overseas also since our Medicare will not cover.Sandra U. writes:We know very little about retiring overseas but are interested. Are some places dependent on how much money you have? Or your age? My husband is 83 and is in fairly good health.Wendy W. writes:I am interested in your residency kit that you are offering for sale this week. I have a question before I purchase this. I am American, therefore can stay in Shengen Area only six months per year. I am thinking of buying property in Italy. Does the program address obtaining residency in Italy?

Here are the questions addressed in today's episode:Ada H. writes:First of all, thank you for your excellent and informative newsletters. We are interested in the EU. Although we live in beautiful New Zealand, we have family in the EU and would like to spend some time with them.We are interested perhaps in a short-term rental. It could be an apartment off-plan and if needed we could keep it up to a year before selling. We have read elsewhere, not in your services, about 10% to 20% ROI. Do you think that’s realistic?You wrote recently that, "The best case is when you're able to find a piece of real estate in a place where you want to spend time, short term on vacation and long term in retirement, that also holds out the potential for an investment return, in the form of capital appreciation, rental return, or both." That sounds like us. But where? We were thinking of France, Italy, Spain, Portugal… We would really like your thoughts.Bikram B. writes:Can you help me to open an offshore bank account in a country where there is no tax and no questions asked? A friend recommends the Caymans for this, but what would you recommend?”Alan H. writes:Thank you for the wonderfully informative city comparison you provided recently for Cuenca and Medellín.One question: Having heard that air pollution is a problem in Medellín, I have done some research on it, and from what I read it can be intense. I have seen online photos with pollution so thick there you could hardly see the city at all. This could be a major factor for those with respiratory conditions. Have you heard anything about this?Ruben A. writes:I've just signed up for your Simon Letter newsletters and am highly interested in the Five Flags Program. I'm an American citizen but moved to Panama City in January. I would like to begin applying for the Friendly Nations Visa once things get back to normal.I'd love to get the ball rolling with Five Flags also. What do you recommend as the best first step?

Is this true? How common is this really? What is your experience with bribery in Panama? It gives me pause about moving there, though that has been my intention for some time.”James W. writes:I am a sportsman. I was told Panama is better than Costa Rica for snook and tarpon fishing. What do you think?Ed O. writes:Wow! Great info about rainy season tips recently. Just to let you know, reading those tips, I just took Panama off my potential second-home list.I get it! Your intention was pure! You really are doing your best to present the full picture of a place. I guess there is a downside to so much honesty. Now I need to find a new dream location!Blessings, Kathleen!

The property owner has no rights whatsoever, and the law doesn’t care. "If this is true, who would purchase a house in the DR if they were not constantly there? Is this a problem in other countries, too?”Theresa P. asks:"Kathleen, I own land in Costa Rica. We did site work and paid for a driveway and water management. The land is paid for and we had to form a corporation so the shares that represent our land could be transferred to us from the developer. "My question is: Are we required to file a FBAR? Our former tax accountant had recommended that we do so while we were wiring money on a quarterly basis for the land payments, but the land was paid for in full in 2015 and we have only wired money in 2016 for landscape maintenance to the company that provides this service. "We do not have any bank accounts in Costa Rica, and we never have. Any money wires were directly from our U.S. bank account to theirs in Costa Rica. What do you think? Thank you."Paulina F. asks:"Kathleen, I am wondering about options for retiring overseas with disability access. "I once moved to Costa Rica but had issues moving around the city in my wheelchair. I used to be an active person and am very interested in Panama City, particularly, but am concerned about disabled access. "You have suggested Medellín in the past as a good choice for someone in a wheelchair, but are there any other places that could work for me?"Shirley W., asks:"Kathleen, the information in your Live and Invest in Belize Home Conference Kit that I recently bought talks about either single people or couples when looking at the Belize retirement programs. "What happens if we are not married (male and female, just never got married)? Do I assume that we could not take advantage of a program as a couple? "The QRP program states that a person must show income of US$2,000 per month and an additional amount for the spouse, but that they both do not have to show US$2,000 per month. What would happen in our case?

But where do we start our search for a home to buy? Can you supply us links to MLS systems for the countries you recommend so we can examine what specific properties are for sale in our price range?"Mary H. writes:"Kathleen, if a U.S. citizen were to buy a property in Mexico and rent it out on a periodic basis to people traveling to San Miguel Allende, would the Mexican government tax the U.S. buyer’s income from that property? Would they attempt to tax their other worldwide income? "Thanks very much... and thanks also for your recent webinars. These have all been very helpful.”Gene H. writes:"I am now in the process of attempting to buy property in Panama, which I hope will one day become my retirement home. Until then, I will place it on the rental market. It is not necessary for me to rent it, but why not? It makes good sense. "However, I have run straight into my first brick wall, and I would love to hear your opinion of what I am up against. I have been told by my attorney that it is very difficult to obtain financing in Panama these days. Is that really true? Are there perhaps different banks that are more comfortable working with foreigners such as me (I’m American, by the way) than the traditional local Panamanian banks? Could you please shed some light on this for me? "Thanks so much for all the good advice over the years. Keep it coming!

First, does the same information apply to Canadians as well as U.S. citizens?"Also, do you know a publication like yours that's written specifically for Canadians? "We have been thinking about doing this for a while but just need the right info before we take the plunge."From Harry M.:"Is it currently possible for an American citizen to open a bank account in Panama without a Panama address?Jeff C. writes:“I attended the live webinar last week and am interested in the Panama Hydroponics project. I have a couple questions regarding the process for purchasing using an SDIRA but have been unable to reach anyone at the number posted above (815-239-6414).“I am a retired US air traffic controller with a FERS pension and a TSP account. My wife and I attended one of your Live and Invest Overseas seminars (Orlando, Nov 2015?) and have spent the last three years living in various locations throughout Europe as well as Mexico and Colombia.“The basic issue is that I will need to pull money from my TSP account to purchase two or three "shares" of the Hydroponics project. I am 55 years old, so the only way to do this without paying penalties to the IRS is to set up a Self-Directed IRA and use it to purchase the hydroponics. I have found a company which is experienced with funding an SDIRA from a TSP account so that part should be fairly easy. The problem is just a matter of timing. I'm only willing to move money from the TSP to the SDIRA if there is still availability in the hydroponics project. With all the Coronavirus issues, it might take 6 weeks or so to get the money moved around and available.“Could you please verify that you are still accepting applications and whether it would be possible to purchase 2 or 3 "shares" (I don't know what else to call them) using an SDIRA?”

Could you elaborate on that? Seems a pretty radical idea to move to a foreign land with no transportation.Kevin G. from the United States asks: Kathleen, a financial planner recently told me that if I establish overseas bank and investment accounts that will raise a red flag with the IRS and I will be audited annually. Of course I will report the accounts to the IRS, but is there any truth to my advisor’s concern that having overseas accounts would trigger regular audits?Anonymous in the United States: Medellín, Colombia?! You’ve gotta be kidding me! Foreigners are prime targets for kidnapping and ransom by scores of different gangs, and it is rumored that even some police cooperate with them for money as well as do some kidnapping themselves to supplement miserable salaries.Very few if any victims are ever seen alive again even when ransom is paid. Now add the fact that the drug cartels own parts of the city, the country, the government, the military, and the police…This must be a very old article you’ve just published, written years ago. My info comes from a U.S. government intel agency and is up to date. The information in your article can be dangerous if taken as reality.

Our retirement will come from pension plans in the United States. If we receive our checks in Belize, we understand that we still will have to pay federal taxes. However, there is no domicile state that can collect taxes. So doesn’t that amount to a tax break? Or am I missing something?Jeff F. from the United States asks: Isn’t there a Social Security penalty for retiring overseas? Many in my wife’s family believe so. They say they would get only two-thirds or three-fourths of their checks if the Social Security Administration knew they retired to Mexico.Gary C. from the United States asks: Kathleen, thank you for all of your information. I love reading your dispatches and also am enjoying your podcasts.I know that some income earned overseas can be excluded from my U.S. tax return, but what about an Internet business where income is derived from many different countries?In other words, if we move to Panama to run our business, is the income excluded regardless where it comes from, even if it comes from the United States.Mark T. from the United States asks: If I move overseas, could I ever return to the United States?

I hold title to some in a domestic USA LLC and some in a LLC set up in my IRA. I also own farmland in Panama that I currently hold in my own name as my understanding is that is the only way I could use it to secure residency if I choose to go that way. As of now I haven't pursued that… “My question is I have been told that Panama will honor my U.S. will for passing the property to my heirs. That a Panamanian will is not necessary. Can you clarify for me whether that is accurate? Thank you.” Thomas F. asks:“How are the hospitals and services for emergency in Belize? Or would you need to be sent back to the States in an emergency? “We are thinking about the move there and looking at all of our options, but would like some information on the medical services there. “What do they have in the way of doctors and pharmacies?” David H. writes:“I was referred to you by a friend who is a reader. I have a fiancée and two boys in the Philippines who I would like to join me when I move to Panama City. What is the best way to obtain a visa for her? Thank you.” Glen L. says:“I have spoken to two banks that I bank with about a reference letter for opening up an overseas account, and neither of them has any idea what information to include. "Could you possibly provide some assistance as to what they should include in a reference letter for me? "Much appreciated." Rich T. writes:“I am a member of your Simon Letter service, and I'm hoping you have some knowledge of regulations related to investing in Chile. Do you know if foreigners can own land in Chile? We are thinking about purchasing land in the remote area of southern Chile." Bruce F. asks:“Kathleen, I am a retired federal employee and have a pension for life of about US$4,000 a month. They take out about US$800 a month from that in state and federal taxes. “What countries would give me a better tax situation? I am particularly interested in Panama.”

Thank you!From Jesse Snow (in the Clubhouse):I want to file the Form 2555 (Foreign Earned Income Exclusion) because I found out that since I make less than $105,000 per year I am eligible. However, on TurboTax it says I have to upgrade and pay $60 to use that form.Do you know of a tax filing software that allows you to file for free and use the Form 2555? Thank you!From Laurie L.:Great audio/video quality for your first podcasts, and the format I think is a hit, as well. I forecast you will have over 100k subscribers by the end of this year. Well done, Kathleen and Lief!Now my question: If you had a time machine and could go back to January before the coronavirus broke out globally, where would you have gone and why?From Lorraine Lombardo:Do you know if any good buys coming up in Italy?From Lawrence Keen:Thank you for the most interesting information about retiring overseas. Regretfully, I am 20 years late in making such a decision, as I have been retired for just about that long. And now, with grandchildren grown, out of college, and on to new lives and the prospects of great grandchildren, my wife is in no way interested in moving anywhere.It is important to note that at the end of my career, we spent time in Japan, which was very enjoyable, a year and a half in Venezuela, which, before its problems, was quite enjoyable, and a half year in Trinidad, which was quite an experience. So I have always been interested in residing some place where I could relax on a beach while continuing to write short stories, poetry, and other drivel that I hope will one day be read by persons other than me.But, now that I am over 80, I don't see myself playing out my life in a tropical land, when I have let that opportunity pass me by. Maybe it's too bad, but it is the fact, I am afraid.From David Rosenberg:Would you recommend buying pre-construction property in Panama without visiting there?Also, if the idea is to buy an apartment and agro investment in Panama, would you suggest to form a company for holding these investments?Your reply is much appreciated.

Third podcast episode by Kathleen Peddicord and Lief Simon – Live And Invest Overseas Podcast.Kathleen Peddicord and Lief Simon give their opinions and suggestions on retiring abroad as a single woman, opening a bank account online (not needing to go to the bank in person), how to travel with a second passport when traveling, and how to handle banking with our second passport.Subscribe to our Newsletter at https://liveandinvestoverseas.com/par...

From Edie S.: I am living in France and want to wire money from my U.S. account to another bank quickly, preferable an offshore account. How can I do this without being able to leave? Are there safe bank accounts in other countries one could open online? Many thanks. From Natalie T.: Thanks so much for your "6 Strategies For Bulletproofing Your Financial Future" report, which I’ve just received.A question I continue to have with regard to the use of a second passport is that I am under the impression that one has to use their U.S. passport to leave and return to the United States, yes? If so, then how does the second passport come into play? Does one have to make separate flight arrangements in order to use the alternate passport at the first and last layover country?A second question I have with regard to use of a second passport has to do with banking. An offshore bank may be open to the alternate passport, but don't we still have to divulge that we are U.S. citizens, too?Thanks again for your attention. Be well. Amanda H.: I am a young expat. I have never invested in real estate. Is it okay for a newbie in real estate to have his/her first investment outside of their country of residence? Is it best for a newbie to invest close to where they live? Thanks!

LONDON — Many of our readers sat upright when we published an article in which financial planner, Alec Riddle told us that people who retire earlier, can expect to live longer. Just spending more time in your own garden and local haunts with more frequent travel may be a good retirement prospect for some; for the more adventurous a retirement overseas may be more alluring. But it is not always easy to choose a destination. Sitting in a café in Paris, munching a croissant and looking at the stylish Parisians, may sound like a good idea, until you try chatting with the locals and you discover that they frown upon or are plain ‘bleddie ongeskik’ to anyone not speaking their language. Or maybe they just don't like the English. You get more done trying Afrikaans or Zulu first. And even if you do have a smatter of French, they tend to answer you in English. So, all those lessons count for nothing. But don’t despair you do not only have to consider the obvious destinations like the United Kingdom and the places where you know people. Kathleen Peddicord, founder of Live and Invest Overseas has whittled the list down for English speaking retirees. She shares some of her 2019 top 21 destinations including 10 new entries with Bloomberg Business Week’s Carol Massar. Here is a spoiler alert, Portugal tops the list, but it is worthwhile looking at the other places. - Linda van Tilburg

Uninhabited houses in a small town in Italy are being sold for €1. The town, called Sambuca, is known for its picturesque landscape. It features a view of the volcano Mount Etna, a number of hiking trails, and vast vineyards [VIN-yerds]. Because of its beauty, the town was dubbed as an “Earthly Paradise.” Despite its charm, many residents have left the town to look for greener pastures in bigger cities. To lure people into the town, the local government decided to sell houses for a very low price. Once buyers pay the €1-charge, local officials can easily hand the houses over to the buyers. However, the officials noted that the houses need major renovations. If buyers decide to purchase a house, they have to spend at least €15,000 in renovations, and they need to complete the house improvements within three years. Buyers also need to pay a security deposit of €5,000, which will be returned once the renovations are done. Although the cost of refurbishing may seem much, Sambuca Deputy Mayor Giuseppe Cacioppo [juu-SEP-ee kah-CHOH-poh] said that living in an “Earthly Paradise” is worth it. Many people seem to agree since the town has gotten 38,000 inquiries in January. Kathleen Peddicord, founder of Live and Invest Overseas, a website that gives advice to those who want to live and invest abroad, said that life in Sambuca will be very simple and quiet. Hence, she advised buyers to have a plan on how to keep themselves occupied as there will be limited activities to do aside from renovating and gardening.

You wonder how the heck can you stop working your day job? This is a great episode of the Cash Flow Diary podcast to listen to, because guest Kathleen Peddicord could be considered the foremost authority on ways to get to that goal!  Kathleen is the founder and publisher of Live and Invest Overseas, and boy… has she ever traveled. This impressive woman has lived abroad for decades. But did she ever plan the life she lives now? Not by a long shot. In fact, she says it was accidental. While Kathleen always thought it would be neat to live in another country and had a love for castles and such, she didn’t know how she would get there. As a writer she had a very romantic idea of what that life might be like. Then something happened that allowed her to ride on the coattails of one of her bosses and mentors. She took a job that allowed her to travel and then got the opportunity to open and run a publishing business in Ireland.  From there, Kathleen was on her way to living her dream, living and working abroad in different countries. That’s something pretty cool for a small town girl from Baltimore with big dreams of becoming a writer, a dream she had since 6th grade. Kathleen started in Baltimore in publishing, starting as a proofreader, then editor and finally becoming a writer. That opened a lot of doors for her.  So how did Kathleen make the leap from writer to world-traveling entrepreneur? After 23 years working for one publishing company, he decided to retire. She didn’t need to work; she had saved money; her husband worked and brought in an income. That was when she was 45. Kathleen would be a full-time stay-at-home mom. At that time she was in Paris.  Kathleen says if you’re going to do nothing, Paris is a perfect place to do it, because she was able to take 6-hour walks with her young son and on her own. She was happy, but one day at 2 o’clock while she was sitting in a park she saw a friend who asked her what the heck she was doing. That’s the AHA! moment that made her realize she needed to start a business. She walked home and talked to her husband. They decided that to make her new business a reality that they would have to move out of Paris. They chose Panama. To get the backstory on that part, you’re going to have to listen to this episode of Cash Flow Diary. The short story is that Panama is an excellent place for North Americans to start a business! Learn more. LISTEN NOW.

In addition, during her recent sabbatical, Kathleen and her husband, Lief Simon, made an important geographic decision. Specifically, they decided to make a third international move with their family and Kathleen’s new business.
