Many medical professionals think of freedom in terms of choosing their own hours or running a private practice. But true freedom goes far beyond that — it’s about protecting your wealth, your mobility, and your options when the system turns against you. The world is changing fast, and without an international Plan-B, even the most accomplished physicians can find themselves boxed in by taxes, regulations and frivolous lawsuits.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Dr. Alex from the Physicians and Properties Podcast to explore how you can take back control of your future through global diversification. We’ll talk about how to safeguard your assets, secure a second residency, and build the kind of borderless freedom that no bureaucracy can take away.

IN TODAY’S EPISODE:

• Listen in to find out why doctors are among my top clients and how their skills, income and risk profile make them ideal candidates for international diversification
• Discover how I help highly-paid professionals future-proof their careerwith international options that reduce dependency on one system, one employer, or one government
• Tune in to hear my 12-month roadmap withthree clear stepsto secure your wealth, mobility, and peace of mind beyond borders.
• Learn why every doctor or medical professionalmust havean international Plan-B — or they could lose everything

I’ve been travelling the world for 25 years, and one thing I’ve learned is that freedom doesn’t just come from your passport; it comes from how you use it. Along the way, I’ve made every mistake imaginable—lost money, trusted the wrong people, and learned the hard way what real freedom actually costs. 

In today’s episode, I sit down with Keith Borie to share my story of how I went from being a dyslexic kid in Canada to owning property in ten countries and helping clients do the same. I delve into cash-flowing real estate, legal tax mitigation, and wealth protection strategies employed by myself and my clients. This isn’t about theory; it’s about what’s working right now.

IN TODAY’S EPISODE:

• Listen in to learn how I grew from a dyslexic school dropout to a global investor with properties in 10+ countries
• Tune in to hear why cash-flowing international real estate beats speculating in the stock market or crypto hype

Most people spend their lives trying to build freedom for themselves, but equally important is how they can pass that freedom on to their children. Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on a powerful strategy I’ve used personally: birth tourism. All 3 of my kids were born in different countries—not just for the experience, but to secure real, lifelong advantages for them. Now, I’m taking everything I’ve learned and launching a brand-new venture to help other families do the same.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by my good friend and business partner, Mike Qu, a lifelong entrepreneur with businesses on three continents, a family of five, and a powerful mission to build multi-generational freedom. Mike and I have both experienced firsthand the legal, financial, and legacy-shaping benefits of second citizenship by birth, and now we are combining that knowledge to help other families do the same. 

Enjoy today’s episode!

IN TODAY’S EPISODE:

• Listen in to hear Mike’s backstory, from small-town Canada to becoming a global entrepreneur building freedom across borders
• Tune in to learn why birth tourism is 100% legal—and why locals often welcome you with open arms for choosing their country
• Discover how citizenship through birth opens up powerful passports for your child without spending six figures on a citizenship-by-investment
• Find out how giving birth abroad can secure permanent residency for you and even your child’s grandparents
• Explore how our new venture, My Birth Abroad, helps families navigate doctors, hospitals, paperwork, and legal filings, from start to finish
• Uncover why this isn’t just about passports, but about setting your entire family tree up for generational success
• Hear real stories from our own families, and how the experience of birth abroad brought us closer together than ever before
• Get a behind-the-scenes look at the legal frameworks that make countries like Brazil, Chile, and Mexico ideal for citizenship by birth
• Learn how to future-proof your family by creating options that protect against political chaos, economic instability, and closed borders

LEARN MORE ABOUT MY BIRTH ABROAD

At My Birth Abroad, we help freedom-minded parents secure second citizenships for their children through fully legal, fully personalized birth tourism programs. From elite hospitals and bilingual doctors to legal filings and permanent residency for parents and grandparents, we handle it all. If you want to give your kids (and their kids) a lifetime of options, now is the time to act. Visit MyBirthAbroad.com or email us directly at Hello@MyBirthAbroad.com to get started.

A passport is crucial to your freedom and global mobility, but what if your citizenship could be a liability? I recently read an interesting article on IMI Daily called “13 Ways Your Passport Could Ruin Your Life.” While I agree with many of the author’s points, I believe most of the real-world risks are misunderstood—and far more manageable—than people realize. 

In today’s episode, I expand on each of the 13 points, breaking them down one by one through the lens of my two decades of real-world offshore experience. I cover the good, the bad, and the misunderstood—and I’ll show you exactly how to easily avoid any potential pitfalls while building a solid offshore Plan-B.

Enjoy today’s episode!

IN TODAY’S EPISODE:

• Listen in as I explain why U.S. citizenship is one of the most dangerous liabilities in the offshore world
• Learn the truth about mandatory military conscription—and why it’s almost never a real threat for expats
• Tune in to find out how to avoid passport profiling at borders and why more citizenships = more freedom
• Hear me debunk some common myths about citizenship-based taxation and learn about the only two countries in the world that practice it. 
• Discover the surprising truth about dual citizenship bans—and why they rarely limit serious expats
• Find out why the fearmongering around “exit bans” is mostly nonsense—and what really matters when choosing a second passport

For the freedom-minded, there’s plenty of doom and gloom where we look for it—wars, technocratic control systems, and economic collapse. But while most people stay stuck in fear or outrage, others are taking action. They’re securing second residencies, moving capital out of reach, and planting flags in places where freedom still has a fighting chance.

In today’s episode, I joined Hrvoje Moric on his program Geopolitics & Empire to discuss what I’m seeing on the ground: which countries are best for freedom-minded expats, how I separate fantasy from reality in the offshore space, and why I believe the path to sovereignty lies in pragmatic action—not black-pilled defeatism.

TODAY’S CONVERSATION WITH HRVOJE MORIĆ

• Listen in as I walk Hrvoje through my origin story—from being labelled with a learning disability to building a life of international freedom.
• Tune in as Hrvoje, and I discuss the repackaged push for a North American Union and why more centralization is the opposite of what the world needs.
• Discover why Panama, Paraguay, and Uruguay top my list of countries best set up for expats. 
• Find out how I’ve helped clients stay grounded and realistic about expat life—without buying into the fear porn or the sunshine-and-rainbows fantasies. 
• Hear my response to critics who overgeneralize Latin America—and why sweeping narratives miss the real, nuanced opportunities on the ground.
• Unpack how bureaucracies in many third-world countries’ inefficiency act as a feature, not a bug, when attempting to implement technocratic controls. 
• Learn why I favour tangible assets, like international real estate and precious metals, over manipulated stock markets. 
• By the end of this episode, it will be clear why I reject black-pilled defeatism and instead focus on practical, pragmatic strategies to preserve liberty and wealth.

The post 345: Reject the Black Pill & Find Freedom Offshore appeared first on The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup.

There’s a freedom revolution quietly unfolding—and it’s not coming through politics. More and more people are taking matters into their own hands—setting up offshore structures, getting second residencies, diversifying their assets, and ensuring they’re not boxed in by failing systems. It’s not about fear—it’s about options and the ability to act on your own terms when things get messy.

In today’s episode, I sat down with Austrian economist Bob Murphy on The Bob Murphy Show to break down this transformation and share what I’m seeing on the ground with clients around the world.

TODAY’S CONVERSATION WITH BOB MURPHY:

• Tune in to hear Bob and me break down Trump’s showdown over the Panama Canal—and how it pushed China’s Belt & Road Initiative out of Panama.

• Get my take on Javier Milei’s bold reforms—what’s working, what’s not, and whether Argentina is on my expat radar yet.
• Learn why I’m deeply skeptical about a U.S. “strategic Bitcoin reserve”—and why it runs counter to everything crypto stands for.
• Find out how the Biden administration’s sanctions against Russia backfired—and accelerated the global de-dollarization trend.
• See how ordinary people are already being debanked—and how offshore tools like gold vaults and foreign accounts can offer protection.
• Hear my response to Americans who say, “We need to stay and fight”—and why I think there’s a smarter way to go about it.

No matter where you live or where you’re from, it’s hard to avoid the U.S. election. Whether we like it or not, whoever holds that office has tremendous power and will undoubtedly affect the geopolitical landscape over the next four years.

In today’s episode, I am joined by two of my Expat Money team members, Marc Clair and Remso Martinez – who happen to be Americans and experts on U.S. politics. The three of us have a roundtable discussion about the recent election of Donald Trump and its potential impact on expats and your offshore plans. We explore what his promises around tax cuts, deregulation, and government downsizing could mean for Americans living overseas and why an offshore Plan-B remains essential in today’s volatile political landscape. Enjoy!

The post 299: Expat News: Panama’s New President, Millionaires Fleeing The US, and Malaysia’s Hilarious Visa Flop appeared first on The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup.

Ever wished I would loosen up a little and tell you what I really think? I say this somewhat in jest, of course – long-time listeners know I am not really one to hold back and always strive to deliver my perspective in the most straightforward way possible.

But I think you’ll find in this episode that I let loose a bit more than normal as I joined my friend Adam Carswell on his live show “Ancap Radio” on Twitter (or X, which I’ll never get used to saying…). I’m not sure what was in the air—perhaps it was the show’s “live radio” format of the show—but I was in a certain kind of mood and really just let loose. 

I had such a fun time chatting with Adam and going on a number of rants, so I just had to share this one with you today. There’s even a special appearance from our mutual friend Doug Casey, who, of course, Expat Money Show listeners are more than familiar with.

CONCLUSION

I can honestly say this was one of the more enjoyable appearances on another show that I’ve had in quite some time. So often, I get asked the same questions over and over, and Adam is just great at keeping things conversational and really bringing out the rants that have been bubbling inside of me. Plus, you can never go wrong talking to Doug Casey. I highly encourage you to check out his live show when you get a chance.

The post 294: Mikkel Unfiltered: A Spicy Take On The Expat World appeared first on The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup.

What’s it really like to work with me? That’s exactly what my colleague Marc Clair asked several of my clients and partners last month during my 41st birthday bash in Panama.

This came at the tail end of our Panama Expat Exploration & Investment Tour, where I spent the week helping clients craft their own Plan B, whether it be residencies, citizenships, or simply investing internationally and protecting their wealth. 

People often ask why I have spent so much time and resources building this company when I could easily retire on the beach somewhere and spend the rest of my days staring off into the sunset. Aside from the fact that I am simply not built that way and would completely lose my mind, you’ll see from these testimonials today what it’s really all about. 

More people than ever before are awakening to the threats to their freedom and wealth, and I am truly blessed to have the opportunity to help others dramatically improve their situation. In today’s episode, you will get a glimpse into what it’s really like to work with me, craft your own Plan B, and protect yourself and your family from the machinations of corrupt politicians around the globe.

CONCLUSION

I hope today’s episode gave you a taste of not only exactly what I do when working with my clients and partners but also helped you understand my motivation for doing so. The truth is, I could retire today, but building this company that is actively helping people’s lives is a giant puzzle that I’ve been determined to solve. I have built an absolutely incredible team here that makes so much of the content you see possible, and I do it all in to find more people like those you heard from in today’s show. 

This work never stops because there will never be a lack of people needing to shelter their wealth and protect their liberty from greedy, tyrannical politicians. Luckily, I never plan to stop, either, so I thank you for being part of the ever-growing expat community. 

See you all next Wednesday!

The post 293: What’s It Like To Work With Expat Money? appeared first on The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup.

I invited Laszlo back to the show to discuss the various new immigration programs that have recently come out of his home country of Hungary. Who better than a Hungarian to help break it all down?

Today’s guest is Laszlo Kiss, who is making his return to the Expat Money Show after first appearing way back on episode 99. He has more than 30 years of experience in the offshore space since his first citizenship sale in 1997. Laszlo is a personal friend of mine and has been a mentor to me for a number of years.

TODAY’S CONVERSATION WITH LASZLO KISS

• Listen to hear why, despite conducting his business in the expat world, Laszlo has decided to remain in his home country of Hungary. 
• Find out how the interesting influx into Hungary of students from both Iran and Israel are getting along together.
• Hear why Hungary has had to become more strict in recent years when it comes to its immigration policies.
• Learn the details of the different investment options available to pursue Hungarian residency.
• Listen to Laszlo and I break down the important distinction between having a residency in Europe vs. citizenship in regards to which countries you can actually live in. 
• Hear the fascinating story about the Hungarian man who acquired five different citizenships – without even leaving his village!
• What’s it like living next door to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine? Laszlo delivers his account from the ground.
• Listen to Laszlo’s first-hand breakdown of everything you need to know about life in Hungary, from safety to health care to cost of living and, of course, the food (always important to me!)

CONCLUSION

I have known Lazslo for many years, and I always have a blast talking to him. Hungary is a country many don’t often think about when it comes to an expat Plan B, but it certainly has a number of interesting advantages worth exploring. 

As always, I try to provide as complete a picture as possible when breaking down a country, and there is quite literally no better expert in the world when it comes to gaining residency and citizenship in Hungary than Laszlo Kiss. If you’re interested in pursuing Hungarian residency or citizenship, do not hesitate to contact him at expat@discussholdings.com.

We recently had a great exploration and investors tour in Uruguay, and I want to give you an inside look at the kind of exploratory tours I do with my private clients. 

These tours are so much fun, and today, you’ll get a little bit of insight into just how they are formatted and how these tours work overall. You’ll even hear some testimonials from actual clients who attended this tour in Uruguay.

This is really an inside look at the kind of tours I put together for my private clients to various countries, so if you decide to attend a tour in another country like Panama, you can expect a similar experience. 

Who knows, maybe you’ll even be able to join us on a future trip. Enjoy!

These aren’t the sort of decisions to be made lightly, so no matter where you are on your expat journey, it’s important to start putting the wheels in motion and getting yourself informed about the options out here. That’s my mission here at the Expat Money Show.

CONCLUSION

As you can tell from this episode, I don’t like to sugarcoat anything or overhype a country when I am investigating it for clients and potential clients. As I’ve said many times, there is no “Shangri La” perfectly free country that exists, and that’s why I always set my feet on the ground in a country and go through residency processes myself so that I can relay the reality to my clients, and I take the same approach with this podcast when discussing these countries. 

As with any other country, Georgia has a mix of good and bad qualities, and only you can be the final judge on which countries strike the right chord with you.

If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe to the Expat Money Show and stay tuned for my forthcoming breakdowns on my trips to Armenia and Azerbaijan!

Since it’s Summit week, and you really should be checking out the over 40 free presentations going on there, I am going to republish an episode today that I did earlier this year about how to go about getting a backup citizenship or residency. 

But first, really, stop what you’re doing and grab your spot over at the Expat Money Summit and catch these incredible presentations live. You can come back to this later!

HOW TO GET A BACKUP CITIZENSHIP OR RESIDENCY

• Confused about the lexicon or language when it comes to immigration? Many people are. This is the episode that you won’t want to miss.
• I start with the most basic language, so you’ll fully comprehend and understand it.
• I discuss the difference between temporary and permanent residencies and why they are so important to understand.
• The next step up is citizenship. What does this mean? What must you do or complete to become a citizen in a new country?
• Are you thinking about starting a family or having additional children? Listen as I talk about birth tourism and what it can mean for you and your family.
• One of my main focuses is on Residency by Investment. What does that look like, and how can you obtain one?
• What is a Golden Visa? You may have heard this phrase.
• The next piece of information I cover is Citizenship by Investment. The countries that offer it, and why I believe it is so important.
• I run through the countries that currently have citizenship by investment and the costs involved.

CONCLUSION

I hope today’s episode was beneficial to you and works as a real complement to the three-hour workshop I did on Saturday.

I also want to say that if you’re listening to today’s episode and you still haven’t hopped over to the Summit, it’s the perfect next step on your expat journey. You can still catch the remaining presentations for free or upgrade to a VIP ticket for lifetime access.

Today, I bring to you a personal report of a portion of my month-long trip that I just returned from. As we focus on my time in Turkey, I will include an update on the citizenship by investment I am working on from there. While it was an incredible trip, it wasn’t all roses, as we had some challenges to face along the way. 

I don’t hold back – you’ll get the good, the bad and the ugly of my experience in Turkey, one of my favourite countries. Enjoy!

TODAY’S EPISODE ABOUT MY TURKEY TRIP

• Find out what it was like travelling with my entire family – my wife, the kids, my mom, and even the nanny – through four different countries.
• Learn about some of the difficulties I encountered while pursuing my citizenship by investment program for Turkey.
• Hear about all the incredible (and not-so-incredible) properties that I saw and the endless hurdles we faced along the way while shopping for real estate.
• Find out how we ran into a major complication with our CBI due to our marriage taking place outside of both of our native countries.
• Listen in to hear about our run-in with a pickpocketer that snatched my mother’s purse – a stark reminder to never let your guard down while travelling.
• Learn all about my experience at the awe-inspiring Galata Towers – this is one place you absolutely cannot miss when in Istanbul.
• Come to understand why – despite some of its issues – Istanbul remains one of my favourite cities in the world.

CONCLUSION

Well, that’s it for my trip to Turkey. While I went into this episode with the plan to discuss my entire trip, the conversation about Turkey and the efforts I am making to achieve my citizenship by investment was plenty enough to fill its own episode. 

In a perfect world, I’d only have positive things to report about the process, but one of the reasons I do these programs is to find the roadblocks so that my clients don’t have to. And rest assured, when it’s all said and done, I will be the owner of a Turkish passport.

If you enjoyed this behind-the-scenes glimpse into my experience in Turkey, leave a comment and let me know. I may very well follow this up with reports on my experiences in Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan, so stay tuned!

The post 263: How You Can Get A Turkish Passport appeared first on The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup.

Today we are going to break from format a bit, as it has been a crazy week in the expat world, with a ton of news breaking that affects a number of popular CBI programs.

Unfortunately, none of it is good news.

I’m not here to sugarcoat things but rather to deliver the truth of what is going on in the world so that you can make the best decisions possible on your expat journey.

Tune into this special breaking news edition of the Expat Money Show, wherein I break down all of the changes that have occurred in the last week and how they will affect those looking to do citizenship-by-investment programs in certain countries.

I also provide some insight into my experience working through a St. Kitts CBI for myself. Luckily, having completed my paperwork before these changes, I will most likely be unaffected by this.

Enjoy the episode, and remember that the right time to act on your expat dreams is always ‘ASAP.’

180: Residency and Citizenship Updates – Mikkel Thorup

CONCLUSION

It wasn’t fun to have to record this episode and deliver some tough news that is going to affect a lot of people who were in the process of working on CBIs in these affected regions. The best we can do is stay up to date on what is going on and plan accordingly.

I emphasize to my clients all the time to “act now” because you never know when these programs will change or just end altogether. This week is an unfortunate real-life example of just that.

See you next Wednesday!

Today’s guest is the news editor over at Antiwar dot com and host of the daily podcast Antiwar News with Dave DeCamp. In this episode, we will be discussing the geopolitical situation as we head into a possible World War III scenario.

While it’s not the cheeriest of subjects, this is a necessary conversation to have given the current state of affairs, so I hope you find great value in it.

TODAY’S CONVERSATION WITH DAVE DECAMP

• Listen to Dave recount how he first became a passionate antiwar activist and how he was able to turn that passion into speaking about the subject full-time. 
• Hear Dave break down the current geopolitical situation involving Russia, Ukraine, and the U.S. and its NATO allies, and why we are closer to a hot war situation than at any time during the Cold War. 
• Dave breaks down how the situation between China and Taiwan is escalating simultaneously and how the United States has been sabre-rattling on the Asian front as well.
• Dave and I discuss the role of Elon Musk in providing Starlink support to Ukraine. Is he really a hero, as many libertarians seem to believe, or is he another wolf in sheep’s clothing?
• What would a full-scale war involving the U.S., Russia, or China look like? Dave breaks down the frightening possibilities of “warfare we’ve never seen before.”
• Has World War III already begun? Dave and I discuss the idea that the war has already begun and how the definition of just what constitutes an act of war has shifted so drastically in recent years.
• We discuss Turkey’s unique role as a peace broker and a thorn in the side of NATO in many ways, even while being a member state. 
• What does Vladimir Putin want, and how far is the U.S. willing to continue to escalate its vast funding of the war in Ukraine? Dave and I both ponder these questions.
• We also dig into the role some surprising countries have played in escalating tensions, like my former home Canada and even the supposedly neutral Switzerland.
• Dave and I cap things off by discussing what the best region of the world would be if a full World War really does break out.

As much as this is a conversation I didn’t necessarily want to have, I don’t think it helps us any to bury our heads in the sand as some truly dangerous situations play out across the globe.

I can’t believe some of the incredible people I’ve gotten to speak to doing this podcast, many of whom I admired years before this show, were even an idea in my mind.  It occurred to me that many of you hadn’t yet begun your expat journey when I started this podcast back in 2017, and there’s a decent chance you haven’t heard some of the biggest and best interviews that I’ve conducted over the years. 

So this week, we’ll be checking out a sampling of top names I’ve interviewed since starting the Expat Money Show – people like Doug Casey, Grant Cardone, Jim Rogers, and the great Congressman Ron Paul. Enjoy!

The post 247: How To Defend Yourself From What Is Happening In The World appeared first on The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup.

Often I get asked by subscribers and clients, “Hey Mikkel, What Are You Doing?”

So I thought it would be helpful to record a quick episode on what I am doing with my own money to protect myself and my family from the financial armageddon that is on the horizon.

This episode should give you a bit of insight into the way my brain works and what I think is important for us to defend ourselves.

I don’t expect my opinions to be popular, but at least I am honest.

Enjoy,

The post 239: Safeguarding Wealth Beyond Borders: My Offshore Journey appeared first on The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup.

John Perkins is the author of the legendary book Confessions of an Economic Hitman, which first appeared on the show in Episode 71.

He has now published an updated version of the book titled Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, 3rd Edition – China’s EHM Strategy; Ways to Stop the Global Takeover, featuring 12 new chapters breaking down how China has essentially become the world’s “economic hitman.”

Longtime listeners will surely recognize that John and I share some differing world views, and I certainly do not endorse his beliefs on things like white supremacy, climate change, vegetarianism and feminism, to name a few. Nonetheless, his experience and insights are incredibly valuable, and you will certainly learn a ton from this conversation. 

TODAY’S CONVERSATION WITH JOHN PERKINS:

• Listen in to hear John explain in detail what an “Economic Hitman” – or “EHM” strategy is from his own personal experience implementing it on behalf of first-world nations and banking elites and how he came to understand the dark side of what he was doing. 
• John details the predatory nature of the EHM strategy and the devastating effects it has had on third-world nations. You won’t believe the shocking statistics about the average age in Africa.  
• Hear John reveal the nefarious methods the EHM strategists use to manipulate statistics like GDP to display positive effects on the economy while the underlying reality paints a much bleaker picture for the citizens of the nations targeted by it.
• Then we discuss  the difference between honest entrepreneurship – the kind that I practice in my business – and “cronyism” or “predatory capitalism.”
• John explains how China has shifted its own economic hitman strategy under President Xi Jinping over the last ten years and their nefarious motivations for doing so. 
• We dig into what John describes as the “death economy” – as the EHM competition between the leaders of China and the United States wreaks economic havoc across the globe.
• John and I further discuss current global political issues and the different levels of attention conflicts in Ukraine and Yemen receive from the media and the general public.
• John drives home how many individuals have embraced changes in the last three years and the need to change our perception of our current socio-economic and governmental systems.
• We discuss the very different perceptions of “success” in Latin America and how things like spending time with family and friends often take higher priority than the gain of material goods in that region. 
• Lastly, we discuss China’s increasingly interwoven relationship with Latin America and the impacts, both positive and negative, on the region.

CONCLUSION

I hope you enjoyed my conversation with John Perkins as much as I did. While we have very different worldviews, and I certainly don’t endorse all of his beliefs, John is an absolute hero for the work he has done exposing the nature of our corrupt global systems of banking and government.

When it comes to the nature of our global systems, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better expert than John Perkins. I know you’ll get great value from this conversation!

The post 238: Inside the Dragon’s Strategy: John Perkins on China’s Global Impact appeared first on The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup.

Today, I am going to share a conversation I had on The Tom Woods Show. This interview has gotten such a great response since it first aired that I wanted to share it here with you to make sure you didn’t miss it.

Tom didn’t let me off easy and really put me on the hot seat, bringing up a ton of objections that many who are first hearing about the expat lifestyle tend to come up with.

Answering Common Expat Objections

• In this discussion, I respond to some common “black pilled” takes that Tom has heard about the negative side of expatriation, dispelling the notion that the advantages you can achieve outside your country of birth aren’t all that great when you break it down.
• There is no Shangri-La – no perfect libertarian country in the world. It does not exist. But that’s not to be said that we can’t get more freedom in our lives by being overseas or by jurisdiction shopping.
• I explain to Tom exactly what FATCA – the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act –  is and how it works, and why it’s even caused some Americans to go as far as to renounce their U.S. citizenship!
• I address Tom’s concern that whatever problems you have in the U.S., they may very well be worse outside the U.S., as was the case in certain countries when it came to COVID restrictions.
• Tom and I talk about how Americans can utilize the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion to greatly reduce their tax burden while living overseas.
• I break down the concept of citizenship by investment and how the process typically unfolds for those with substantial funds to invest overseas.
• I lay out the many reasons to have a second passport, even if you do not plan to live outside your home country!
• I provide some definitive first steps to take for those that have caught the expat bug and are ready to take their expat journey to the next level.

CONCLUSION

I hope you enjoyed today’s conversation on The Tom Woods Show. Tom is an excellent interviewer, and I loved how he pressed me on some of the common objections people who are first learning about the expat lifestyle often hold. These are questions that don’t often come up here on the Expat Money Show, where I primarily interview those who are already on the expat journey, so it was a great change of pace.

This is the perfect episode to share with a friend or family member who has expressed interest in the expat lifestyle but has been hesitant to pursue it further due to many of the objections addressed in this conversation.

See you all next Wednesday on the podcast!

The post 236: Debunking Expat Myths: Mikkel Thorup Sets the Record Straight on The Tom Woods Show appeared first on The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup.

Today I am going to recap the last incredible week in Panama, beginning with a hugely informative conference for private clients and culminating in my 40th birthday party.

The last week has been unbelievable. Clients flew in from every corner of the world, literally from everywhere.

I am still decompressing from a busy and eventful week, but I wanted to first stop and take the time to record this episode for you and update you all on some other goings on here at Expat Money while everything is fresh on my mind. 

PANAMA CONFERENCE AND BIRTHDAY PARTY RECAP

• I recap the start of the week with the investor’s conference I put on in Panama with private clients from diverse places like Germany, Thailand and New Zealand attending.
• I explain the difference between my “private” clients and my “regular” clients and how you can become one!
• This week highlights why I like to get to know my prospective clients personally before I take them on  – because I spend a LOT of time with them!
• The type of information provided at this conference would literally take months or even years of research to acquire on your own – offshore investing and residency is definitely not a ‘DIY’ type of thing.
• Meanwhile, we also formally launched The Expats Guide on Moving to Mexico, which has already launched to #1 in the “libertarianism” category on Amazon!
• I also provide a preview of the upcoming trips I am planning in the next year for private clients. If these sounds interesting to you, read this important letter and consider if becoming a private is a good fit for you.
• Finally, I reflect on my 40th birthday party that was made so special by the 150 + attendees who travelled from places like Germany, the Netherlands, Ireland, the UK, Brazil, Colombia, Canada, USA, etc. – all culminating in an amazing fireworks display!
• Ultimately, these events are about building a community and realizing that we aren’t the crazy ones out there. We in the Expat Money community are building a better and brighter future for ourselves while much of the world goes mad.

CONCLUSION

I hope you enjoyed today’s episode in which I’ve provided just a small glimpse into the type of conferences, tours and celebrations I put together for my friends and clients in the Expat Money community.

I want to once again thank everyone who joined us in Panama and came out to celebrate my birthday.

And as I said earlier, and it really is worth repeating; this party is not about me…

It’s about you.

We are not just some online group or a podcast, no. We are a real-life community of people who understand what is going on in the world and will actually do something about it.

Our plan is to do many more private events this year for clients, so I hope this episode will serve as a great preview of what’s to come should you decide to become one. Enjoy!

The post 235: Panama’s Offshore Scene: A Deep Dive into Global Strategies appeared first on The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup.

Today, I am going to do a “freedom read”, a concept inspired by my friend Kevin Koskella on his Freedom Lovin’ Podcast, where he would read sections of prominent freedom books, which I thought was such a cool idea. So today I am going to be reading the first few chapters from my recently published book, the Expats Guide on Moving to Mexico.

We haven’t even done an official launch of this book yet, so we need to help people realize it’s out there. In today’s reading, you’ll learn much of the basics of why so many expats have been moving to the beautiful country of Mexico.

The Expats Guide on Moving to Mexico

• The Expats Guide on Moving to Mexico is a comprehensive A to Z guide through everything you need to know about Mexico and the processes behind moving there or setting up a Plan B residency in the country.
• Getting a residency in Mexico is not that complicated or expensive. So don’t fear; in my new book, I go into detail about what the process is like and how you can do it yourself.
• I explain my first task as the author of this book – to discuss mindset. Are you ready for a change, and how will you accomplish it?
• My goal is to present the full reality of Mexico to the fullest extent of my ability – the good, the bad, and the ugly.
• I address some of the biggest fears many have of becoming an expat. Are any of these holding you back?
• I outline some of the reasons Mexico can provide an excellent quality of life, including some advantages you might not expect.
• I discuss who this book is NOT for. Yes, it won’t be for everyone.
• I lay out the major differences between living in Mexico vs. living in places like the USA, Canada and Europe.

After reading this book, you will have a thorough understanding of the types of visas to be able to move to Mexico, the specific requirements to get residencies, the safest cities to live in as an expat, the cost of living, and so much more!

Even in just the chapters covered here, you’ll leave with a solid idea of everything you need to take into account to determine if Mexico is the right country for you.

As I said in the episode, our plan is to release several of these, but for that to happen, I need lots of support from the community. We want to make this a number-one bestseller, and we need lots of reviews out there. So pick up the book and let me know what you think. Hopefully, you’ll get lots of value. Send me a note or put a review on Amazon. I’m going to read everything. Thanks!

CONCLUSION

My last piece of advice is, if you want to do a CBI or a residency program, DO IT NOW. DON’T WAIT. Look how fast things change, on a weekly and monthly basis. Moldova, Cyprus, MM2H, Portugal, Montenegro, Vanuatu, Panama, all of these things have changed, and just in the past year. They usually get worse, or more expensive, and rarely do we see changes that are for the better.

This is an insurance program that you buy once. There are no more dues or fees. You pay for it once and never have to pay for it again. The kicker is, you can’t buy fire insurance AFTER your house burns down; you have to do it in advance.
