Need some help becoming an expat fast then contact us at https://ExpatRebel.com Also, check out our How To Become An Expat In About 30 Days over at https://ExpatRebel.com Transcription: This is Expat Chris and I'm an Expat living in Mexico since 2016. I love travel, adventure and culture. I created Expat Rebel to show expat and digital nomad lifestyle, foreign travel and living overseas. Estonia, a very stable country in Northern Europe, has came out with a digital nomad Visa in June 2020. It allows anyone to work (as freelancers or even employees for foreign companies) without residing or even being physically in Estonia. And for those who don’t know where Estonia is. It’s located on the Baltic Sea across from Sweden. Estonia has a higher than normal percentage of entrepreneurs which has lead them to be on the cutting edge on digital e-residency and e-visas geared towards digital entrepreneurs which many Expats and Digital Nomads are. And they are part of the European Union and use the Euro so it’s a great option if you need a company based in the EU. What do you think? Let me know in the comments. Check the description for the link to this article and the Estonia Government Digital Portal. Got a question then leave a comment and I’ll answer in a video. Are you wanting to become an Expat soon then go grab my Expat Rebel Guide to becoming an Expat or in 30 days. It shares how I went from idea to moving to Mexico in about 30 days and also share how you can save about $3000 on mistakes that I made within the first month.

| 16 Sep 2020 | 5 Countries Now Require International Health Insurance for Entry | 00:03:43 | |
Five (and more) countries are requiring health insurance to cover visitors just in case they get COVID-19. Many can't cover the expense and want to make sure that you can. Like, subscribe at https://youtube.com/ExpatRebel) and click on notifications to get notifications of all our videos. Watch the video version at https://youtu.be/KtA5jXBlvjo “The reason for requiring healthcare coverage is to prevent local healthcare providers and governments from having to foot the bill for uninsured tourists,” the Allianz spokesperson said. “The coverage also does protect travelers from potentially catastrophic medical bills or emergency medical transportation costs.” https://www.cntraveler.com/story/these-countries-now-require-international-health-insurance-for-entry While many nations are requiring a negative COVID-19 test for entry, an insurance policy that would cover potential medical costs during the trip is a separate requirement. The cost of the initial COVID-19 test required for entry is typically separate from the local health insurance coverage, which typically begins the moment you touch down for the trip. The countries that require proof of international health care coverage are, of course, going to change over time.

| 05 Sep 2023 | Jimmy Buffett Tribute | 00:02:04 | |
Last week, the world lost the legendary Jimmy Buffett. Reflecting upon his legacy, it's evident he played an instrumental role in shaping my path as an expat in México. Jimmy's music has always been a beacon, emphasizing the beauty of slowing down. In the whirlwind of life, songs like "Margaritaville" hinted at the allure of a simpler, carefree existence, while "Come Monday" spoke of longing and the peace found in returning to familiar shores. His album "Living and Dying in ¾ Time" encapsulated this philosophy. And who can forget the lessons from "A Pirate Looks At Forty"? It beautifully conveyed the essence of reflection and cherishing one's journey, regardless of the destination. In today's relentless pace, where the world constantly demands more, Buffett's songs were an invitation to a different rhythm. They reminded us that sometimes, it's alright to lose one's shaker of salt. I recall attending one of his concerts and feeling an overwhelming sense of belonging amongst the 'Parrotheads.' That moment solidified my thoughts: "These are my people." An unexpected life diagnosis branded me a 'workaholic.' Inspired by the wisdom in Jimmy's tunes, particularly the escapism of "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes," I decided to embrace life in ¾ time. México, with its enchanting pace, beckoned. Making it my home has been a pivotal and rewarding chapter in my story. So, here's to Jimmy Buffett, the artist who, through his melodies, made so many of us dream of far-off places, cheeseburgers in paradise, and the promise of tomorrow. Rest in peace, Jimmy. Your legacy will forever be a testament to the joys of living on 'island time'." ★ Support this podcast ★ | |||

| 17 May 2019 | Are Most Expats Alcoholics? | 00:07:10 | |
I've been away for two week getting ready for a meditation retreat and being offline for the whole thing. I had a great time. We went to a Mayan Pyramid in Mexico called Uxmal, that's the site name. The two pyramids at that site are The Pyramid of the Magician and the Great Pyramid. I really enjoyed meditating there for three days and also nearby Kabah. Then we came back to Playa del Carmen our base for the retreat exhasted. I just wanted to goto sleep and be rested for my dolphin meditation the next day. Yes, I got to meditate with dolphins. It was an incredible deep meditation by the way I came home to a loud drunk party my neighors were having as they were leaving Mexico for the US. A fall down liquor induced party of yelling and banging things like no party I've ever heard. I complained to the building manager and it took him two or more hours to get everyone hushed up. I was so tired I didn't notice and just fell into bed. And got up at 6am ready to go meditate with dolphins. Later, after the retreat I asked some local expats what they thought of the question are most expats drunks? It is a geniune question because I don't drink. And in the past when I did I never got loud. In fact, I would just fall asleep. I was cute drunk for a few minutes then just drift off to sleep. And the people I hang out with don't drink much, well at least not around me. The response was anywhere from did you ask that question when you were drunk, and telling me I'm judgemental which was interesting, to just a simple yes or no. Many were offended by the question. I was surprised by how many to be honest. The best answer I thought was it depends who you hang out with. One even suggested that some expats party the first two or so years and then get into the vibe of living in a different culture. It also can depend on where you live. Here in Playa del Carmen Mexico it's know for it's party scene. Tons of places to party that are expat nice. So, it's much like being in your home country. It's who you hang out with. I'm hanging out with fellow spiritual meditators and entrerepeneurs and we don't have a tendency to drink much. After meditating with a group, I'll have a link in the show notes about the retreat if you would to goto. Show links | |||

Hiring the right people is a big deal and I wrote this book to share my hiring process that I’ve developed since 2000 when I hired my first assistant. I will walk you through my step-by-step process to finding a virtual worker that fits you. I believe your first helper is a virtual assistant followed by an accountant soon afterward. These two hires will impact your business directly and will pay for themselves very quickly. This process can also be applied to hiring web designers, graphic designers, and any other virtual workers that your business needs. ★ Support this podcast ★ | |||

Have you heard that the United States IRS, the agency in charge of taxes is revoking passports if you don't pay your taxes? Back in 2015 the IRS was given the authority to do just that, but it hasn't actually done that yet. The IRS has to determine that a person owes over $50,000 in taxes for a passport application to be denied. They also have to file an intent to levy as well before they can go around and deny someone a passport. And it won't just happen and surprise you. You would get a couple of very noticiable letters telling you what could happen if you don't pay. Now the IRS does have a list of people, over 362,000 people, of tax delinquents they have sent to the State Department who could in the future have their passport applications and renewables denied if they continue to default on paying their taxes. So, no one yet has had their passport application denied...yet. But, if you are an American living overseas and you're not paying your taxes then don't be surprised that you have no passport in the future. Thank you for joining me on today's episode. Keep traveling and enjoying the world. See you next time on Expat Rebel Radio. ★ Support this podcast ★ | |||

Show Links Transcript Tips on how to handle the holidays and missing traditions from your home country while living abroad? Today is my first day back in the office. While I was on vacation I asked some fellow expats how they handle the holiday away from their home country. I’m currently in Playa del Carmen Mexico just south of Cancun and I hiked all over 8 Mayan ruins and then and went to Minnesota to visit family in the ice and snow. Since they won’t come down to where the weather is just so perfect we have to travel to them. So we get in the holiday traditions, hang out with family and our kids. Get to experience cold freezing weather. I grew up in Alaska so cold weather with snow makes it really feel like the holidays. And many expats do the same thing. They go back and visit family during the holidays. But, of course not everyone does that. And I know I won’t be going to Minnesota every holiday. So what do other do? Here are the 5 ways to handle the holidays as an expat: Fly Home for the Holidays Like me many fly home for the holidays. Another expat said “A couple things -Although we don't have much stuff, we keep some American holiday decorations, probably something we wouldn't do in the States. -Prioritize saving money for either flying family to us, or figuring out how to fly to the family. -Use it as an excuse to make new friends and show a "typical American holiday" Meetup with other Fellow Expats Throw a holiday party Jeffry says “Attend Christmas parties with friends, go to Christmas shows at the local theater houses, go to church, etc.”
Another expat said “For me, bringing non perishable cooking supplies helps a ton to get through holidays away from home. Specifically, I keep missing thanksgiving, but earlier in the year during a visit to the US, I had the presence of mind to pack a can of pumpkin purée in my checked bag. Got the joy of making a pumpkin pie in Russia on thanksgiving and sharing it with folks who had never had one before. (Russians, Georgians, and Chinese) and what’s more, it tasted right, it didn’t taste like it was made with alternative ingredients! My food fix was covered with the added bonus of sharing.”
Alec said “My wife and I are American and both former chefs. The Thanksgiving dinner we prepare for our friends has become a pretty big deal over the years.”
Create a part of your home with your traditional look. With Netflix & Apple Movies you can easily watch a movie and watch with your immediate family and or other local and expat friends. Tell stories of your favorite holiday stories. Goto an Expat bar or restaurant Davis told me that he finds a local expat bar or restaurant and goes there to hang out. They may even play your home country TV stattions and have decorations up. Embrace The Local Culture Thomas says “Embrace the local traditions, there are many”. Robert says “Go to the beach, look out at the ocean, and imagine Santa surfing!” Ellen says “We had Thanksgiving dinner and invited our friends and neighbors. They had never had a turkey cooked the way we cooked it or stuffing like we made and They were afraid to try our pie de calabaza but they loved it and I have been asked to bring some of my homemade rolls to Christmas dinner. So keep some of what you had, add some new and share what you have with your new friends.” Monika says “Mix and match...little bit of this, little bit of that. Go with the new, hang with the old. It is entirely up to you.“ Susan says “Invite some friends for a nice dinner on Christmas Day or Boxing Day, the 26th. I used to give a New Year's Day Open House every year when I lived in Mexico. I found someone to cater a nice meal, asked folks to bring dessert and/or a beverage. We gathered around the piano and sang carols in several languages, because it's still Christmas until January 6.” Brick-Frog says: “I think making up your own traditions is a good solution. Often times when you try to re-create something from home it's not quite the same and it ends up highlighting how very much not-home you are. Or you end up substituting so many things it's just worthless. Creating something new (or adopting a tradition from your current country) gives you a project and something to focus on. For example making an extremely elaborate cannelloni from Spain, making your own gluhwein from Germany, trying to decorate an elaborate Korean Christmas cake, making Japanese strawberry cake, etc. Not just food, of course, try to join in on local events, if possible, or try out some Christmas crafts online just to stay busy (cutting out paper snowflakes, folding massive snowflakes, printing your own cards). If there's absolutely nothing local you can find/want to do just make something up. For some reason my husband and I (for 5 years abroad) have had "Grinch Night" where we watch the Grinch and make as many green foods/drinks as we can. This works in every country because the focus is just "green" not something specific. Sounds dumb but we look forward to it more than Christmas. Probably the best tip is highlight one specific thing you can't live without from home, and combine it with something new. If only just to be distracted.” -- One expat said: “I've spent 4 years abroad in Spain, and I think the first year was the most difficult for me. First came Thanksgiving, which of course no one abroad cares about or understands, and I was living with a host family. They knew it was special for me and wanted to do something, but it was a work week and super busy so we ended up just eating kebabs... It was hard to see all of my friends and family back home enjoying. Thankfully my mom came to visit for Christmas and we were invited for dinner and drinks and it felt more or less like a normal Christmas minus traditional food. Since then, and now that I'm married with my husband's family here, I participate in all of the local traditions and get excited about it. They celebrate so many more days here, and have a lot of fun traditions, so I find it very enjoyable. The important thing for me was to find people I care about to be with during these times. This year was my first year attempting a traditional Thanksgiving dinner... I was worried having to make everything from scr... | |||
