Re: Expat family , we escaped the USA, now living in Mexico , here’s the situation...
We lived in an EU country for six years in the late 90's and early 2000s. We applied for dual citizenship as soon as we could and the entire family got our EU passports while keeping our US passports as well. While we were in Holland we bought a house in a rural area that's now become almost a suburb of The Hauge. The house has been rented to an expat family for the past four years but they're about to return home to Texas in a couple of months. I'm planning on using my EU passport to fly to Amsterdam and then travel to our home there. After four years it's a certainty that the house will need painting, new carpeting, and probably updating or remodeling of the kitchen and baths. My plan is to do all that and then either sell it or decide to move back to Europe for the rest of our days.

We were there long enough to learn a bit of Dutch and once learned a language comes back very quickly once you hear it spoken daily again. Having an EU passport gives us the right to live in any EU country we choose - and Holland has some of the best tax rates for investment income compared to the rest of the EU nations or the US.

Unless something you have not stated is causing you to leave Mexico, I'd stay put for a few months and see what happens in the world. Your US passports should get you out of Mexico even if they locked down the country again. And you could also choose to go to the middle-east or Egypt and then migrate slowly to Northern Europe if you choose.

I have friends who have avoided paying income tax on a substantial investment income for many years by moving from one country to another but never declaring themselves citizens of that nation. While technically a US citizen is taxed on their income world wide - there are types of income and investments that are not taxed by the US but only by the country in which the account/asset is resident. If you have a substantial income that you don't have to earn, then it is well worthwhile to investigate these legal and legitimate ways to avoid the US tax bite while avoiding the taxation of a foreign nation, as well. You become a sort of 'perpetual tourist' and as such you are not taxed in the countries you can 'visit' for six months or a year at a time. Then by leaving the host country for a few weeks, you reset the tourist visa time and it restarts - enabling you to extend you stay for another six months or a year. Remember most of the EU has a 22% VAT tax on everything you buy - so they're getting their fair share of everything except health insurance and groceries and rent or mortgage payments.

If you want to buy a home in one of those nations you 'visit' regularly, it can be done thru a trust and you avoid taxation on the house until you sell it - which can be deferred for many years. In many EU countries, unearned income taxation rates start at 45% and can go up to over 70% - so avoiding your exposure to such tax rates can save you a fortune on an income of a few hundred thousand per year or even less! The less you give the government of any nation, the more you can save, invest, spend on yourself and you family, and the easier it is to enjoy your life when you're not concerned about paying for you overhead...

To restate:

1. Stay put and see what develops, but make sure you have an exit strategy for getting out in a hurry if you need to.

2. Arrange your affairs to keep you legal tax bite as low as possible.

3. Distribute your sources of income into the countries that a.( you'd actually like to live in and b.) where it is unlikely the government would seize accounts or cash belonging to visitors. This can be as simple as having your brokerage or bank account statements sent to a PO Box in the country you want to claim you live in.

Mexico is also fudging number of the covid , Mexico locked everything down just like the USA , we are now free to go out and eat and everything is opened back up. But we fear they could lock down again.
Our goal is to get to a country where the gov of that country did not lock down anything for the people. Nicaragua made absolutely no demands of their people beside borders are closed to non residents unless u get tested for covid within 48 hours of this entry.

Now we must make a choice , we could buy a home in the mountains here in Mexico, or we could all get tested down the street (family of 5) (blood test). And escape mexiUsa.

Where ever we end up we are buying a home with a little land not in any 5g areas with close neighbors.

What would you do , would u trust the test to get to a country that did not lock their people down at all?

People don't understand the poverty and the mindset. If you have enough money to move there and but a finca, you have more and access to more, even if that's just a relative who would send you a plane ticket back to the states and let you sleep on their couch while you looked for a job. They have need and you can get more equals all is fair.
I've been at the border and watched a family try to sell their 4 year old daughter to a 50 year old man, because no matter what he might do with her, at least she had a better chance of eating. They spent their last cordobas on bus tickets and a pretty white dress for her.

Bad move expatriating. Especially to Latin America. There is nowhere to run from what is coming. The worse it gets, the larger the neon sign above your head and that of your family, gets. Assuming you are Caucasian. Don't ever expect to fit in. They may smile in your face, but you will always be a dirty gringo and a target. Eastern Europe, Poland, Belarus, Slovakia, Czech Rep. would have been a better choice. Seriously...

All third world countries are beholden to the World Bank and the IMF. They own them. If they say jump, blank country says, "How high'? Nicaragua is socialist. Let that sink in. They can seize your property and assets at any time, unless you know people (that's how that game works).

Ecuador, Panama,are all super hardcore on lockdown shit. So is Argentina. You won't get the race riots there, but they will be COVID Nazis.

If you could afford Uruguay, that's your best place (IMHO). It's more like Europe than SA. Places like Colombia and Brazil could get very, very dangerous to an American, especially a White American.

Costa Rica might be worth exploring, since it's basically been designated as an eco-tourist zone, so a lot of Globalist/Elite types dive, hike, etc., there. But ownership is difficult and as an eco-tourist location, that's their playground and they protect it.

Forget El Salvador. Good food, bad MS13.

But obviously u do. She still said we can’t live on my own land . Then a environmental dept bitch told cps a had guns too close to kids ,only thing out was bb gun. they shook us down for all bank account info and everything else , had to fly kids across country and take my cabin apart , permit it as a shed!
