ADVICE

Buy Thailand’s Privilege Card

Visit occasionally to get comfortable and keep the permit useful if you need to relocate quickly.

Use Indonesia’s golden visa by depositing about $129,000 in a government bank to obtain multi-year residency.
Keep the deposit there to retain the permit and use it for visits to Bali, Jakarta, or other Indonesian regions.

In this episode, Mr Henderson shares seven countries you can get residency without moving. From Thailand and the UAE to Mexico and Greece, so you’re prepared for whatever the future brings.
