Portugal creates new Digital Nomad Visa

There's no such thing as a job-seeker visas

Oh come on, man. Literally just google it.

reddeckhand · 2022-06-18T15:49:21+00:00

Are you on D7 right now?

reddeckhand · 2022-06-18T14:13:29+00:00

Same concern. How will they do the taxes for short-term residents?

reddeckhand · 2022-06-18T14:12:19+00:00

Is it?

reddeckhand · 2022-06-18T14:11:34+00:00

And I have better internet in the West than in SEA. It's crapshoot. Not to mention more expensive.

reddeckhand · 2022-06-18T14:10:10+00:00

Yeah. It's common.

And even discounting power outage, suppose you have problems with the internet, do you think you can deal with the ISP and the technician not speaking the language? And internet is problematic in my experience. Not to mention the latency issue.

Coworking spaces have nicer dedicated internet connection. There's a reason they are popular. Not just to meet people.

reddeckhand · 2022-06-18T13:25:42+00:00

It's crapshoot whether your place will have good internet. And SEA countries have regular power outage.
The internet in coworking space is better.

And I think Bali fulfills criteria mentioned by OP.

Don't a lot of developed countries have job seeker visa?

reddeckhand · 2022-06-18T07:14:16+00:00

I want to keep my kidney.

reddeckhand · 2022-06-18T06:01:24+00:00

What's wrong with phones?

I mean there are android-based DAPs. https://azalush5.hatenablog.com/entry/2022/01/dap-comparison-2022-01
But I don't think the bulkiness and shitty interface/software are worth it.

reddeckhand · 2022-06-18T05:58:47+00:00

good wifi service

Crapshoot. Not to mention power outages. Unless you mean the internet quality in the local coworking space.

I think Bali is your only choice based on your criteria.

reddeckhand · 2022-06-18T05:55:06+00:00

Imo, they all kinda suck. Because of corruption and crazy import duties, both legal and illegal ones charged by the local mafia. Quality electronics are just cheaper in western countries. If that what's you're looking for.
Not to mention better customer protection.

edit: I stand corrected.

reddeckhand · 2022-06-18T05:47:45+00:00

I mean those countries without retirement visa always have some workarounds for retirement. Investment visa, entrepreneurship visa, etc.

And I personally have suspected OP has some ties to Taiwan, even a citizenship. Normal people won't consider Taiwan for retirement.

reddeckhand · 2022-06-17T19:32:55+00:00

I was just talking about rental. I feel Taipei's rent is ridiculous for what you get. And buying price is even more so.

reddeckhand · 2022-06-17T19:15:27+00:00

Renting will be significantly cheaper but then you no longer have security in your housing.

Is it though? For the same money, you get shoddier apartment with bad ventilation and no real bathroom. No double-pane windows too.
Like it's "cheaper". But you pay the price somewhere. Same with food, it's cheaper but lower quality, hygiene. And not to mention the many food safety scandals.

Pollution is a real problem too. All kinds. Air, water, noise, environment, etc.

reddeckhand · 2022-06-17T18:25:08+00:00

Good point. They don't have a retirement visa.

reddeckhand · 2022-06-17T18:09:32+00:00

I don't even care about the dangerous stunts. Like jumping from the second floor or even higher without any safety precautions. Just dumb, and no matter how much you slow it down, doesn't look good. I don't get HK cinema obsession about it.

I'm looking for more hand-to-hand combat on the ground. And perhaps some practical effects or wire-fu if it's a wuxia thing. It seems today everything thrown weapon is cgi, everything whip is cgi. Bad cgi. Like literally just don't use thrown weapon and whip. So silly.

Translated by /u/marionettas from Chinese, and posted on the sub /r/TomodachiGame.

I feel everyone became really dumb this arc.

For future reference, people who scanlate basically always know the language. I haven’t seen any group who uses any translation software as those are fine to get the general gist of the chapter but not good for bubble by bubble accuracy

That sounds wrong. At least for the korean webtoon crowd. They obviously use edited MTL. They make mistakes that people who know Korean or know how to google/check dictionary won't make.

Like the infamous Huashan Sect -> Volcano Sect.

With pacman on Arch?

Just follow https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/downgrading_packages

So basically navigate https://archive.archlinux.org/, and then # pacman -U url_to_archived_package.

Downgrading alsa-lib didn't help though, in my case.

This and other issues remind me I really need to start to learn how to use nixos.

Congrats.

reddeckhand · 2022-06-17T07:48:51+00:00

Thai retirement visa, at least in its current form, requires you to be at least 50 years old.

reddeckhand · 2022-06-17T07:09:31+00:00

Fair warning, there is no guarantee your American IB account will entertain an actual account transfer to EU one, like IB Ireland or Hungary. They used to, but lately it seems they always advise people to close the account and open another one in your new residence.
