The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup 129: How to Move to Spain Without a Visa or Passport – Vin Armani
WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS INTERVIEW:
- Why you should stop everything and consider leaving mainland USA for a tiny overseas territory in the middle of the Pacific.
- Why TODAY is the best time in history to be a Digital Nomad and how to stay ahead of the curve.
- What is the one thing that made Saipan so attractive that Vin Armani would drop everything to move his family there in the middle of a pandemic?
- Vin’s secret to dealing with the Expat lifestyle and how to make the transition stress-free and easy.
- What were the 3 biggest challenges of moving to an overseas territory and how to be prepared before you leave?
- How to legally pay NO Taxes to the US federal government living in Saipan
- How did Saipan deal with lockdowns and covid? (HINT: it was a lot freer than in the continental USA)
- Mikkel and Vin talk about the culture in Saipan, Mexico and Panama. Doing a little comparison with the Latin culture.
- As Vin would say; Don't go there to escape, you're not fleeing, go there so that you can help to build, be valuable to them, be a contributor, don't just be a taker.

Join Me In Panama For Our Next Tour
I have great news. After many meetings and explanations, the Panamanian government has agreed to keep the Investors Visa at a $300k Real Estate investment instead of nearly doubling the amount required, as they said they would. This is a massive win for our community who wants to move to or invest in Panama, but I am not sure how long this will last… If you have been thinking about Panama, then I want to make an invitation to you today. Come join me for a special four-day tour to see if the country I call home is right for you and your family. We have just released the next set of trip dates. You can find out more at ExpatMoney.com/fly. Come visit me and the Expat Money team, get a feel for the country and see if Panama makes sense for investment or as a new home.
