Living Overseas

Have they changed the law?

farangs couldnt own property when i was there

some parts of the NE area has a bad rep for pedo's as well

I agree Chiang Mai is enticing.

India is very cheap, you can disappear

I think engish speaking and culture are better understood in PI & India than Thai and Vietnam.

BTW Glen, I seriously doubt the Age Pension will be gone in 6 years, check out the residential qualifications, so far as i know, you can get it whilst living OS permanently.... they changed the rules recently I believe to mean new Disability support pensioners have to be Oz Residents, but I may be wrong, worth checking

Ive always been interested in living overseas, and have done a little research over
the years...in general the world can be divided into two groups of country's

• Country's that encourage foreigners to invest and retire/live there, Ghana,
  Kenya...im sure there are others.

• Country's that don't encourage foreigners to invest and retire/live there
  Philippines, Thailand, Mexico, Mauritius ...im sure there are others.

For very little money a man can live very well in some parts of Africa, and get
significant tax breaks, permanent residency..and the help of the govt to setup
there....of course there no cute Filipinas/Thais there but u can get visas for them.
