[QUOTE=t90oldem;37657640]how easy is it to get a visa coming for the USA in the uk if your just going to be playing online poker. Looking to move there but want to be able to stay there longer then 6 months(prob 1-2 years). If you cant get one just for online is there any loop holes to be able to get one for having a part time job or going to school (1 or 2 classes at the most). Any help would be great. Thx[/QUOTE

you can get a student visa which is like 3-4 years but you will need to go to a UK uni which is hard to get in and super expensive. There is a working holiday visa but USA are in it I don't think

I know this is old but just to clarify Hungary levies an additional 10% on top of normal income tax for gambling winnings, currently poker would be considered a game of chance in Hungary so overall taxes would be standard income tax + 10% extra, it's definitely not tax free like the UK

^obv just say you dont gamble for a living. "self employed web developer" or "online trader" etc

Even though tax audits aren't a big problem I'd rather pay the extra 10% and be in the clear, easy for the tax authority to prove you don't do your made up income source. Plus by lying about the source of income you actually fall into tax evasion which is a crime while simply "forgetting" about the additional gambling tax or claiming poker isn't gambling and be proven wrong would only get unpaid tax+interest bill

It's really difficult to move to the USA or UK, I've spent some years in looking for an opportunity but still haven't found( there're some of course, but very exprensive

So the countries in Euroland where an American can get a residence permit to stay for a year or longer without being super rich are Estonia, Czech Republic, Malta. Any others?

Would be appreciated if someone could do Praha!

Prague has always been cheap the times ive been there on holidays with the lads, food and drink were both a lot cheaper than the UK. Some places like the hotel we stayed at the drink was less than a £1 a pint and decent beer. Some nightclubs up to £5. (from a few years ago)

Nightlife is pretty awesome! A mate one a big amount of crona on a casino slot and wanted to collect, but we could not understand the writing or something the floor staff came over and pressed all winnings to credit haha

I was planning on moving to Rosarito next year but since they are putting through some new gambling legislation, Rosarito won't be my choice. I've been researching Central/South American countries borer-line obsessively, and I can't seem to find the perfect place. If anyone has the magic answer (unlikely at best, I realize), I'd appreciate it...

Here's what I'm looking for:
1) A cheap place. I would love to spend no more than $800/month on a 1 or 2 bedroom. It doesn't need to be baller, but I would like AC, a full kitchen, reasonable furniture would be cool, etc. I don't expect to be able to get a luxury villa on this budget
2) I'd like to live on a beach, or in the mountains, and have reasonable access to grocery stores, restaurants, a couple bars...stuff to do. I'm not expecting an L.A. nightlife or Strip quality entertainment, but I don't want to live in a shanty town or some place that looks like Tehran, etc.
3) A pool/jacuzzi would be dope. JSin'. (Not actually important)
4) Reasonably safe access to reasonably good bananas that I won't be imprisoned for partaking in.

That's about it. I love Panama City but it looks like it would be expensive. I've read articles that say you can rent an apartment there for $450, but everything I've seen there has been $1K+. I've been looking at Cuenca, Ecuador a lot recently, but I'm not sure about the banana situation, etc. Cuenca looks beautiful though.

Thanks for any recommendations.

i have a room the size of a junior suite turnkey in a safe neighboorhod three blocks from all the action all utilities included very well furnished with internet that has never gone out once (and I put in some major 12 hour grind sessions) for just under $500us.....

i got here about a month ago and I don't think I'm ever leaving.....and the fruit is plentiful and quite cheap......

I'm not sure about the internet situation but have you looked into the bocas del tora? Maybe not enough nightlife for you either...

cantrunworse, 5 south - I'm checking both places out. cantrunworse, do you blaze? If so, how's that going for you in Peru?

Also, cantrunworse, did you find your place on your own, or did you use a realtor or relocation service? Thanks again for the help man. Much appreciated.

Bump for this. Any one able to provide any info?

Anyone do Australia or have I missed it?

great great thread, thx all

This still the case, hearing bad things about people finding work in Spain

None of the information in this thread is remotely accurate and is purely for entertainment purposes.

have you lived in every country that has been written about?

Peru is great for pot. Visitors from Chile here are stoned all the time, because it's so cheap.

What kind of quality are we talking here?

Do you live there? If so, what area? And what's the attitude towards dogs?

Thanks!
