Why would you set up this hacker haven there if you can do the same thing in a cheap but paradisiac country like Thailand or the Philippines for the same cost?

- anmol 15y agoFrench food, art and culture. (Not to take anything away from Thailand or Chile)

Sure, most Westerners can enter the Schengen zone for 90 days visa-free but after that you've either got to leave for another 90 (or is it 180?) or get sponsorship of some sort. (Obviously this is a rather Amero-centric reply and doesn't apply to other EU citizens)
- aymeric 15y agoTrue. (I am French, it is hard to see these things as being motivating enough to relocate in a country-side village...). Visa is probably a favourable thing in comparison to Thailand / Philippines ...

I will probably move half-time to such a place though, once my kids have left school :)
