I've heard Portugal could be favourable for personal income tax if you are a remote worker, can anyone comment on that? If i'm thinking about "semi" retiring I'd like somewhere with cheap tax, sun and good hospitals.

Agreed!!! I'd also even be fine if - along with the sun and good hospitals - the taxes were at least reasonable, added in with good infrastructure (besides just hospitals) that benefited from taxes, which as a resident I would directly benefit from!

Apparently there is a 10-year 0-tax on non-Portugal income. Road to residency is quite straightforward (for non-EU citizens) (not sure about citizenship though). On the other hand, bureaucracy is quite bad I've heard.

  Information related the taxation regime for "non-habitual residents": http://www.livinginportugal.com/en/moving-to-portugal/tax-regime-for-non-habitual-residents/ http://www.livinginportugal.com/en/moving-to-portugal/tax-re... Apparently, the 0% tax only applies in case the income is already taxed in the state of origin...

    For Americans, isn't all our income always still taxed in the US?

      Under 90k earned abroad? Zero tax

      Always subject to taxation by the US. There's a fairly high initial exemption for money earned abroad while living abroad. The only exception is Puerto Rico
