Expat Network Newsletter – April 2022
Welcome to Expat Network’s April newsletter.
This month we have an article looking at why expats make good entrepreneurs as well as one looking at the best places to retire in the world.
We have also published an article about Medicare for U.S. expats.
We are also looking at the tax changes that UK expat landlords should be aware of.
Spain and Portugal have attractive Golden Visas but changes at the beginning of the year in Portugal have introduced new restrictions. Which is right for you and what other options should be considered? Spain is also planning to introduce a Digital Nomad visa – what do we know about it so far?
We have now completed the Move To Spain and Move To Portugal Virtual Roadshow webinars as well as the Finance For Expats series. Recordings of all of these are available to view for those planning their move. Discovery Tours can be organised for those ready to make the move.
