Many thanks to Tsaxton. I did write Lic Guznay. I didn't expect a reply, but got one that put the first smile on my face. No nonsense list-making attorney straight from the shoulder. Right in line with my current feelings. I'll handle the ... Read More

First, I'm mightly appreciative of the comments thus far. As I begin my exploration, I'm not thrilled by the prices at Supermaxi (seem right up there with Honolulu) or the center-right new government (Peru just dodged a bullet), both of ... Read More

First, let me thank you for the prompt reply. I became familiar with Peru by way of a friend in AQP. I'm 79 and looking for a modest retirement situation. Final destination would pretty much be AQP. Like almost everyone, COVID came along and ... Read More

Best bet is working remotely, which will avoid penalties which most countries would impose on holders of temp or retirement visas. Years ago I did teach in Mexico, but was sponsored by the university. In later years, I had formed my own ... Read More

As usual on this forum, Nomad and Warner W give insightful remarks. Would-be expats get themselves into tragic (and expensive) messes by not considering the "can you accept this" list. Note that expats drive up costs. When I lived in a ... Read More

Appreciate Mrkpytn's candid report as the issue is whether it would if be better to just accept the somewhat disproportionate negative, but knowable, realities of PR, or do the red tape dance, strike out into the great unknown and take your ... Read More
