129: How to Move to Spain Without a Visa or Passport – Vin Armani

Today’s guest on the Expat Money Show is Vin Armani, a philosopher, serial tech-entrepreneur, and CryptoSavage. He was co-founder of CoinText and is the author of several Bitcoin payment protocols. He is the author of three books and a highly regarded public speaker on topics of liberty and cryptocurrency. He has recently moved from mainland USA to live on the little island of Saipan, a commonwealth of the United States in the Western Pacific Ocean.  

WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS INTERVIEW:

• Why you should stop everything and consider leaving mainland USA for a tiny overseas territory in the middle of the Pacific.
• Why TODAY is the best time in history to be a Digital Nomad and how to stay ahead of the curve.
• What is the one thing that made Saipan so attractive that Vin Armani would drop everything to move his family there in the middle of a pandemic?
• Vin’s secret to dealing with the Expat lifestyle and how to make the transition stress-free and easy.
• What were the 3 biggest challenges of moving to an overseas territory and how to be prepared before you leave?
• How to legally pay NO Taxes to the US federal government living in Saipan
• How did Saipan deal with lockdowns and covid? (HINT: it was a lot freer than in the continental USA)
• Mikkel and Vin talk about the culture in Saipan, Mexico and Panama. Doing a little comparison with the Latin culture.
• As Vin would say; Don't go there to escape, you're not fleeing, go there so that you can help to build, be valuable to them, be a contributor, don't just be a taker.

This year, I’m leading a private group into the heart of Latin America’s best-kept secret.
