A few weeks ago the Portuguese government suddenly announced the intention to end their Non-Habitual Residents (NHR) program - a tax incentive that has lured countless foreigners to Portugal since its inception 15 years ago. This proposal suggests the program will no longer be available to anyone after December 31, 2023, and some headlines seem to suggest that Portugal is no longer in the business of wanting to attract expats and digital nomads. But as I discussed with Diana Andrade, Head of Portugal Immigration at Lexidy Law, this is definitely not the case and there are still many questions yet to be answered. Today Diana and I dive into the changes coming with NHR and a potential new tax incentive coming to replace it. We also dive into the Portuguese Digital Nomad visa and the D7 visa, as well as all the other reasons to move to Portugal, beyond tax incentives.

This leads us into a deeper discussion about some of the downsides of the traveling lifestyle, which are often overlooked in the glamorized version of expat/nomad life, and spans a variety of topics, from building community, misplacing identity, and missing the comforts of home, to portfolio careers, 75 Hard, and the dizziness of choice, Chase’s future plans, and many others.

Communities around the world are starting to compete for remote workers by offering wild incentives to make the move to a new town. They want you to bring your remote salary, and in exchange, they offer you a better quality of life, lower cost of living, a community that wholeheartedly wants to welcome you, cash (sometimes $10,000+!), and a range of additional benefits - from courtside seats at the local basketball game, to “rent a grandparent” programs to provide free childcare. Make My Move’s COO stops by today to dive into this concept, discuss some of the most interesting towns and incentives offered, and how you can take advantage of this opportunity.

David McKeegan stops by the show today to update us on his experience hitting the road again for the first time since pre-pandemic. As a family of five with three children, he and his wife, Carrie, have been somewhat nomadic for quite some time - so slowing down and settling into a life abroad for the past few years in Costa Rica was a bit different.

David fills us in on some of their nomadic family dynamics and experiences from the road, as well as some emerging international trends they recognized during their trip through Asia. Finally, as tax season is upon us for US expats - and David is the Co-Founder at Greenback Tax - we take this opportunity to hear some updates on what our American expat listeners need to know for 2023.

Amin Greige grew up in Lebanon and when another crisis slammed the country and his daily commute went from four hours to seven hours, he decided now was the time. He discovered Cyprus, a European island nation in the Mediterranean, and one of fastest growing nomad and expat hotspots in the world due to the infrastructure they have in place for remote workers. From digital nomad visas to tax advantageous laws, to the warm mediterranean climate, incredible fusion of history and culture, and the relatively low cost of living - it’s no surprise that this is quickly becoming one of the most sought after destinations for people looking to move abroad.

About Abroad takes its first trip to India in this interview with Mayur, the founder of NomadGao. After spending nearly his entire life in a small Indian village dreaming of traveling the world, Mayur finally got a taste of the digital nomad world in 2014, and never looked back. After traveling around the world he returned to India to focus on building communities and introducing his people to the opportunities provided by digital nomadism.
