Thanks for the offer. Weāre looking to come to Portugal in late fall 2020, provided we are out of the crisis and it is safe to travel. Ou rmain area of interest is in central or northern PT. We love Porto, but we understand that it is likely to be off-limits to GV soon, so we are looking more inland, at places like Coimbra and Braga.
Do you know if places like Coimbra and Braga would qualify for the lower level real-estate investment amount?
Also, we are looking to make contact with a reputable, reliable lawyer to help guide us. Is there a place on the website that has referrals? Or do you know of one youād refer?
Lastly, Iād be interested in your thoughts of the investment option. It gives the advantage of not picking a place to live and sinking large capital into physical real estate at a time when the real estate market could be poised for some big changes. On the other hand, I donāt know how or whether the investment options are going to survive the covid crisis. Any insights would be very welcome.
I am Ritchie (@rkashmirian). I am not quite a nomad though I have travelled and lived in many countries over the years. I am an independent IT consultant and a serial entrepreneur - currently working on a new project which I am very excited about. I call Australia and Canada home.
I stumbled upon ND whilst trying to learn a bit more about the Estonian e-residency. I loved the article on that topic on the NG site.
Looking forward to getting to know some of you out there.
My name is Giorgio Iām from Italy, but I spent a good amount of time in the past 4 years or so in the US and Asia. I am currently in Da Nang, Vietnam.
I just found out about NomadGate and Iām really enjoying all the amazing resources that have been shared here.
I recently alos quit my remote job and I am now planning to start my personal blog, plus do some freelance copywriting and work on some other projects I have in mind.
My favorite podcast ever, that I listened to countless times is Navalās appearance at the Knowledge Project. If you donāt know Naval I highly encourage you to take a listen, one of the wisest people I found on the internet. Heās a philosopher disguised as a startup founder/investor. https://fs.blog/knowledge-project/naval-ravikant/
Hi, Iām Prasanth. Iām in the US currently waiting on a long perm residency wait list for years and years. Losing hope by the minute. Iām currently looking at Portugal for investment opportunities to get a back up plan if in case my US journey doesnāt workout. Portugal does look promising, I love to travel and this investment surely will help with that.
Hello Fellow Nomads!
Iām Marnie, American by passport, European in soul. Married to a Brit . We emigrated 10 1/2 yrs ago to The Netherlands (second time for me) with our then 2yr old son. Weāve enjoyed our stay here but have been here longer than we planned & now Brexit has put a wrench in our plans to move elsewhere within Europe. We do not want to return to the UK or move to the US but donāt think itās prudent to relinquish our home citizenship either so weāre considering Portugal due to the Golden Visa option. Weāve been there on holiday and love it but none of us speak Portuguese so the language barrier alone is daunting-Iāve done an on-line course so have learned a bit. Really just trying to find a safe place with friendly people, warm weather & an affordable lifestyle-delicious food & wine is a plus!
Work: aviation but would also like to run a B&B or something similar
Our favorite places: New Zealand, Portugal, Croatia, Romania & Bulgaria
Happiness & good health to you all!
If you can consider an alternative country that is outside the EU but with an association agreement and equivalent of free trade agreement with the EU, then perhaps you could consider Georgia?
You should def consider Portugal and language will not be a barrier. There are so many expats living in Portugal and people are friendly so youād be speaking Portuguese in the blink of an eye!
I really could use your help! I am a geography student at the university of ZĆ¼rich and I am currently working on a project about digital nomads. Itās a small group project and not to be published in a paper or anything else. At the moment we are conducting a survey (about 15 minutes) with digital nomads and are still missing a few answers. Since it is part of our task to write a result-essay you would absolutely get to see to what you contributed. If you are interested in helping me, have any question and filling out the surveyā> hit me up! Thank you so much!!!
My name is Harris and Iām a software engineer. I help people build mobile apps (iOS & Android) and web apps. Iām currently the co-founder of a startup called Uplet.
Right now, Iām based in Montreal but Iām planning to live the nomad life assuming covid-19 doesnāt get dramatically worse world wide by August/September.
Hereās a list of cities I would like to visit in their respective order:
Asia:
Doha
Bangkok
Chiang Mai
Hanoi
Ho Chi Minh City
Singapore
Balikpapan
African Stop:
Cape Town
Latin America:
Buenos Aires
Rio de Janeiro
Lima
And finally going back home. Itās probably too ambitious, but Iām planning on being a nomad for at least a year. I mapped out the trip here: https://triphappy.com/t/1965140
Any comments/feedback is greatly appreciated.
Iām looking forward to getting to know people in the community!

Hello my name is Dimitrios Tourikis TEP, MCSI and Iam a Tax & Wealth Advisor . Iam managing partner in CALLAMUS ( www.callamus.com) . I travel a lot around the world but mostly between my offices in London-Athens-Nicosia.
Hi my name is Peter Edwards, from the UK, I love chatting and communicating with other. Places I love are the South of Ireland and the South of England. Most of my career was in Administration and Accounting, which was very enjoyable.
Audio books and always willing to learn. Travelling would be something that I enjoy providing there is a hospital close by, due to having medical needs that need attention.
Hey guys, I am Max, I am nomad since 2017 and I am currently in China. I am doing SEO and affiliate marketing. My next stop will be Georgia.
Also I am currently very annoyed about SMS approval codes, is there a good solution? My bank accounts etc. are closed and problematic because of that a lot of times.
Hi Yana, I am planning to move to Vietnam temporarily and was looking for borderless banking system. I checked the link you have provided, but the cost is like 2% of the amount in fees they are charging. Is there anyone else who charge less fees? Also would like to know if you can share about your tax things. Most people these days I see are discussing about Georgian banks (TBC Bank), but the problem I see about it is they are not having customer care who gives support in English language. Even there are some mixed signals, some say the customer service is good and some say it is not. To operate an account from overseas does not make sense if the customer service is not good. It will only make matters worse. If you can give some insight into it, that would really help.
I think the banking issue everywhere now is: do you have official residency and economic substance in the country where the bank is located? I think this issue will roll out globally over time. This is why some of us are using TransferWise which works well - but depending on your country does not always provide a debit card .
Some people who are nomads or from unsupported countries talk about applying for N26 or TransferWise as if you live in one of their supported countries. I am a very cautious type of person and my business has a lot to loose, so my own view and approach is not to āpretendā I am located in a supported countryā¦ in case in the future that is used against me as proof I am resident in some other (taxable) jurisdiction. Nobody knows when TransferWise etc will be forced to share info with countries we claim to be from when we apply for their services, so I take the safest course and only apply for services that I am eligible for from my actual country of residence. I understand this approach is especially hard for people who are nomads and from unsupported countries originally :(.
My name is Kayla and I recently decided to spend a year (though I get the feeling maybe more) traveling internationally, spending 1-2 months at a time in different countries, coming home to the U.S. every now and then to visit loved ones.
This is by far the craziest thing Iāve ever done. However, I have nothing really tying me to the U.S. any longer as I recently got divorced and decided not to continue on to Grad School. Iām a creative writer with a remote job for an internet marketing company, so my plan is to spend part of each week working the marketing job and the rest of the time acquiring new experiences and ideas to write about.
Iāve already started doing research into many of the things Iāll need to do to make this plan work well, but Iād love to hear your feedback on the following, or if you can send me links to articles here that are relevant, that would be super helpful!..
Iām on antidepressants and birth control. Is there a way to get those RXās while traveling or in bulk before I travel?? Iām planning to use SafteyWing insurance, but they donāt cover RXs. I have a U.S. bank account but should I get an international one too? Are some better than others?? I have an iPhone with wireless carrier Ting. I know theyāre a small company and I wonāt be able to keep using themā¦ whatās the best way to have a phone plan with wireless data access while traveling abroad? Do I just need to buy a SIM in every country? How does billing work for that? Iāve heard of using Hopper as a good way to find flight deals. What are some other apps out there that you recommend for flights?
Thatās all I really have right now, but if anyone has any advice please let me know. I donāt know anyone else personally who has basically decided to sell all their stuff and travel, so I could really use an insiderās perspective.
