    As a retired multi-millionaire, there is only a short list where I might choose to live (assuming no virus).
    3. Tuscany
    2. Bordeaux
    1. Rancho Santa Fe, Ca.

    The opposite extreme.

    I like the idea of Tuscany.

    I would consider Monaco. In the mean time I'll stay stuck in Sibulan, at least the water still runs here.

    I could live happily in Cannes. A baguette, some butter a bit of wine and some cheese.

    2 Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. still get teary eyed, when i think of all the good times
    3 Izmir or indeed any city in Turkey crystal clear water, food, turkish welcome, history, culture, the cradle of civilisation

    1. An olive and grape vineyard and house in the hills of Kefalonia, Greece, overlooking the crystal blue Ionian Sea.
    2. A ski chalet in the Swiss Alps (just for a couple of months a year).
    3. A hunting lodge in the Okavango Delta, Botswana, where I could sit on my balcony drinking G & T whilst watching the amazing wildlife.
    4. An old house and yacht in the harbour of Krk island, Croatia.
    5. A colonial lodge with my own cricket pitch in Shimla, India
    6. A beach house in The Seychelles.

    That's all. I'm not greedy :smile:

    I'm not wealthy but could probably live almost anywhere comfortably with some exceptions. But, I told the wife, if China makes the Philippines their 24th Province we are leaving. Places of interest:

    Malaysia
    Colombia
    Uruguay
    Portugal

    Do you consider people who give you a winner icon here a friend worthy of inviting for the occasional holiday - I never outstay my welcome, so 6 months and I would be gone. Asking just in case.

    I think from memory that Malaysia has a remittance tax. Cost enough to remit money without paying another 15% or so.

    I would add (as possibles to consider - visa and other rules are forever changing): Costa Rica, Panama, Dominican Republic, Vietnam.

    With many countries in economic turmoil, some are already reducing the cost of gaining residency/citizenship - rather than sting people to get Visas it is best to get them in (having checked their finances) to spend much more over a long period of time. An input of relatively wealthy, entrepreneurial types could be a massive boost to many weaker economies - and I am guessing many will suss that.

    Having lived in Boquete Panama I would certainly recommend it for many reasons . The weather is flawless average temp 75 degrees year round, American dollar currency, short ride to David on a very nice 4 lane new road for all supplies and simply beautiful scenery. Cost of living is about par with here so you do not even have to be wealthy. Oh and you are in American Central Time Zone .... and a retirement visa qualification entails proving a lifetime pension of 1000.00 US with an attractive senior discount package
