Ep 35: Guided By The Stars No More: A Roadmap To Retiring Abroad! Part 2

The International Money Café Show

In Part 1 of this podcast, we discussed figuring out your "why", for wanting to retire abroad, the residency/visa requirements, and the practical aspects of moving overseas.

In Part 2 of this episode, we answer specific tax and financial questions. Some examples of the questions (amongst others) that we answer here are:-

  • Do I still need to file U.S. taxes when overseas, and what does that entail? What about State taxes?
  • How do I access my retirement income from overseas? How do I get my RMDs?
  • Will my custodian allow a foreign address? How do I transfer my funds from the U.S.?
  • Should I roll over my 401k to a rollover IRA before I leave the U.S.?
  • Will I have enough SS credits to claim social security from abroad?
  • Should I buy a home overseas?
  • What about healthcare expenses? How do I deal with that?
  • Are there other countries you should consider besides the usual?
