Bit more of a light hearted topic compared to my previous VISAs and LTD ones. But in my recent findings, I think I am going to end up in Romania for tax/visa reasons (there is a chance of Cyprus, but still unclear on VISAs there)
Anyway, that aside, the lawyer in Romania said they have a long waiting list and will likely take about 8 months. I've already had enough of UK, so 8 months is annoying but I can soften the blow by ditching our UK rental, storing our stuff with family and then constantly travelling. Yes, I will still be paying taxes in︀ UK but at least we can live cheaply which will offset that frustration.
Here lies︁ the question, where would you guys recommend that matches our criteria below. It's not only︂ a request of Country recommendations, but also the specific areas within the countries. For example,︃ I know places like Bali have luxury accommodation for cheap, but I'd imagine only a︄ few specific areas would match our criteria. Same goes for Thailand.
Cheeeeeeeeeeers 🙂

- We want to live︅ cheaply, but we dont want to live in a cave in Afghanistan. So it's a︆ 'best bang for your buck' type desire. It has to be a nice, functioning, safe︇ area.
- The area MUST have good internet
- Preferably sunny
- Safe / friendly / open minded︈ / Young vibes. With nightlife and parties
- We prefer coastal, and providing it's fresh, open︉ & clean we don't mind cities. Think Singapore city, rather than Bangkok / New Delhi.︊ However, it doesnt have to be a city providing it has the fun factor above︋
- Well connected. We don't drive, so needs to be reachable and escapable via public transport.︌
- Obviously goes without saying that the Visitor Visa system is quite liberal (to UK citizens).︍ If we have to hop around every 90 days, fine. But we dont wanna be︎ forced into an immigration office every freaking week. Yes we work online and will be️ working abroad, but we all know the drill "travelling for pleasure sir"
Cheeeeeeeeeeers 🙂
