Financial Planning for Retiring Overseas

If you love to travel, living abroad is enticing on many levels. While living outside the United States can be a vibrant cultural experience, retirement abroad requires some planning. We help clients make smart financial decisions and avoid surprises. 

Every situation is unique.

It can be overwhelming to narrow down the best country for you.

You must consider your preferences for safety, predictability, property ownership, access to quality medical care and language fluency.

Planning for foreign taxation on income and investments requires a thoughtful approach. Fortunately, there are many tax treaties in place that prevent double taxation if navigated intelligently. It is also important to avoid country-specific investment restrictions.

How Timberchase Can Help You Plan to Retire Overseas

Certain countries welcome foreign residents if you can show that you have income that will allow you to support yourself and the local economy.

Other countries have incentives for investing in property or businesses.
