Today's guest on The Expat Money Show is me, Mikkel Thorup, I will be talking about travelling to Brazil during the pandemic and all the drama that entails. This is part-2 in our series on travelling during the pandemic. If you haven't had a chance to listen to last week's episode on travelling to Costa Rica during the pandemic you should do that now!  

WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS INTERVIEW:

• An in-depth breakdown of getting out of Costa Rica and entering back into Panama during the pandemic
• What is life like in Panama right now and what did we need to get ready for our massive 4-month trip to Brazil.
• What do the airports look like in Panama and in Brazil? Is everything open or totally closed? And what do you need documentation-wise to leave the country and to enter Brazil?
• Being a tourist in Rio de Janeiro during the pandemic, is this a good time to visit?
• Travelling to Florianopolis, Brazil, a cute little island of about 500,000 people. The real estate, food, open/closed, what is it really like?
• Huge personal development to share with you, you will know it when you hear it!
• Drama, lots of drama! getting a new phone, passport, residency and how different the process is in other countries.

Mentioned in this episode:

Governments Hate This Trip

Paraguay doesn’t make headlines—and that’s exactly what makes it powerful. No wealth tax. No global tax. No chaos. This year, I’m leading a private group into the heart of Latin America’s best-kept secret. You’ll get boots-on-the-ground access to lawyers, investments, and a second residency most people don’t even know exists. Governments hate this strategy—and that’s exactly why it works. If you’re serious about a real escape plan, go to ExpatMoney.com/Paraguay.
