The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup

129: How to Move to Spain Without a Visa or Passport – Vin Armani


Listen Later

Today’s guest on the Expat Money Show is Vin Armani, a philosopher, serial tech-entrepreneur, and CryptoSavage. He was co-founder of CoinText and is the author of several Bitcoin payment protocols. He is the author of three books and a highly regarded public speaker on topics of liberty and cryptocurrency. He has recently moved from mainland USA to live on the little island of Saipan, a commonwealth of the United States in the Western Pacific Ocean.
 
WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS INTERVIEW:
  • Why you should stop everything and consider leaving mainland USA for a tiny overseas territory in the middle of the Pacific.
  • Why TODAY is the best time in history to be a Digital Nomad and how to stay ahead of the curve.
  • What is the one thing that made Saipan so attractive that Vin Armani would drop everything to move his family there in the middle of a pandemic?
  • Vin’s secret to dealing with the Expat lifestyle and how to make the transition stress-free and easy.
  • What were the 3 biggest challenges of moving to an overseas territory and how to be prepared before you leave?
  • How to legally pay NO Taxes to the US federal government living in Saipan
  • How did Saipan deal with lockdowns and covid? (HINT: it was a lot freer than in the continental USA)
  • Mikkel and Vin talk about the culture in Saipan, Mexico and Panama. Doing a little comparison with the Latin culture.
  • As Vin would say; Don't go there to escape, you're not fleeing, go there so that you can help to build, be valuable to them, be a contributor, don't just be a taker.

        Such a fun conversation with Vin today, I love talking with like-minded individuals about freedom and how to achieve it. Vin and I have both been guests on the Lions of Liberty Podcast multiple times with my good friend Marc Clair. Vin’s famous line in both appearances: pack your shit and go!

        Gold in the Caribbean—No Bank Can Touch It

        Fiat is failing. Banks are cracking. And smart investors are moving their gold offshore—outside the system. I’ve partnered with a fully insured private vault in the Caribbean where you can buy, store, and protect physical gold… legally and securely. The entire account opening is done online—fast, private, and no nonsense. If you’re serious about protecting your wealth, get the details now at ExpatMoney.com/gold

        Offshore Gold & Silver

        Into The Amazon—Then Straight To The Beach

        This year, I’m taking a private group into the Amazon rainforest—then we head to Fortaleza and explore Brazil’s booming Northeast coast. Think Amazon river cruises, beachfront developments, and wide-open opportunity. From the heart of the rainforest to pristine beaches most people only dream about—this is bucket-list meets Plan-B strategy. If you’ve ever wanted to see the real Brazil and scout investments along the way, this is it. Go to ExpatMoney.com/Brazil.
