As a seven or eight-figure investor or entrepreneur, you probably want to live in one of the safest low-tax countries in the world. So you can enjoy spending your wealth with no concerns about any sort of crime.
Even if it’s just petty theft, it can ruin your day, especially if it was an expensive watch or piece of jewelry that has sentimental value. You can buy the watch again obviously, but it’s still annoying.
If you live in a country where this sort of crime is prevalent, then you are going to want to move to a safe country.
In this video, Andrew shares the safest countries in Latin America.

Well no offense here, I guess your best option is to take your "white skin" back to Europe, they might welcome you, they might not!
Good luck!
Although, you are right about the political situation of the countries has a direct effect on the countries economic stability and therefore direct effect on crime !
With the pro Fascism showing it's ugly face in Latin America also, nothing good is to be expected!
Political instability, unrest and violence!
It's sad, but it's the truth!
Again good luck to you!
Pero su nombre es europeo
Your name and last are European lol
Are you insane?
@@Demiarioch no, he’s just racist.
As an Argentinian I must worn, just because a criminal doesn't kill you, it doesn't mean there is no violent crime. There is a ton of violent crime but the police only pays atention to those that end up in murders. Criminals have learned that if they don't do anything too stupid they will be left alone.
As a Venezuelan I'd rather get beat up than slaughtered like cattle any day
Que lastima! Mil gracias por la información!
Thank you for your honest feedback.
Which country?
@@AntoninusPius17 I think he was talking about his homeland of Argentina. 👨🏾🦲👍🏾
As Chileans planning to leave our country , we have been in Colombia, Bolivia , Paraguay , Uruguay , Peru and Ecuador. This is our experence.
Colombia is dangerous for foreigners. Always at risk. Police is not good. Beautiful country, but safety is the main reason why we as a family discharged from the list. Probably good place for the adventurer man who love living the wild-life ( vida loca)
Bolivia is not for long-term living, public services are low quality as internet , water , electricity, etc , no rules no law. It is a lawless place to live. Police is the worst in LatinAmerica, so corrupt. Also there is a anti-gringo attitude. While being a gringo as tourist everything is fine, but once we are settler the nightmare begins. The government has an special minister called "descolonizadores" what means anti-settlers. Everyone with white skin as croatas are called in a very despective way "inquilinos" what means "teanant"
Paraguay is boring , climate is so hot and some how humid. Nothing to do even in the main capital Asuncion. We are looking for a country with a lot of ammenities
Uruguay is nicer than Paraguay but extreme expensive and somehow a little bit less boring than Paraguay, but at least the Ocean View is a plus.
Peru is affortable , extreme good food, nice neighbourhood in Lima and Arequpa, Cuzco es very safe, etc. The main problem so much shanty-towns in some areas but overall the best option for South America right now. Peru is good for the family with low or middle budget. Living in the highscale neighbourhood is amazing as Barranco or MIraflores in Lima. Cheaper tan Chile or Ecuador.
Ecuador has the best beaches but not safe enough in the coast. Nice place as Loja or Cuenca though, but political unrest never ends. Not as cheap as Bolivia or Peru. It is the pocket version of Peru but someone cleaner.
We are a chilean family (white skin) and are leaving Chile because of rampant crimes, everything is costly and the new communist president is allowing all kind of weird things as liberating 13 criminals because of being leftwing. The future of my country is quite dark. Up to now, Peru is the best from our chilean perspective .
Wow thank you very much for writing all of theis, very helpful!!
Thank you, Marcel, for a good review. We are from Arizona, but stay in Mexico some summers. We were looking at Colombia, but we are very knowledgeable about Brazil and, today, Brazil is economical with outstanding beaches and the people are great, too. My wife is Brazilian so that might help. We wish to locate to So. Am. soon or Mexico is fine as well.
thanks for sharing ❤
Just curious, what do you think about or have you heard about Panama. I've always personally thought of it as a good home base in Latin America as an American. Any answers you can give would be great
Wow what a valuable comment thank you for sharing. As a white skinned Turkish guy all thanks to you I learned south america is not a place for an expat like me.
El Salvador has gone from 18 murders a day to 0 murders in last 300 days. Amazing. Now Safest place in Latam.
given the bitcoin incentives you should do a special, El Salvador has the largest drop in crime in history. No1 safest in Latam
@@chizzlemo3094Yep - it’s all about that BTC adoption
El Salvador is the safest country in the western hemisphere as of 2023. It is safer than USA and Canada.
People in Chile say that it's not safe anymore as many immigrants from neighboring countries and Venezuela are responsible for the high increase in crime rate
That's what they say in every possible country you can think of. It's always the foreigners, migrants responsible for crime.
That's what I read and heard from a neighbor who moved up to USA because of the increase in crime in Santiago. It's gotten very unstable politically also they said.
Chile has always had crime (thefts and whatnot), but Chileans say that's worse because of immigration because of increases in high profile types of crime.....in particular car jackings and/or violence in general from thugs in cars. There have been increasingly frequent instances of robberies and car jackings where if you resist, they have no qualms about shooting you. This is still concentrated in Santiago and not very common outside of the big city. Chileans remember when this was uncommon and so often associate this with the presence of immigrants who weren't here 5 or 10 years ago.
That’s true
@@jamesrenaud592 Crime went up after Pinochet got out of power in 1989. Now with all of the Venezuelans, Colombians, etc., crime is off the chain. Boric aids and abetts it.
Hola amigo
Love your content ❤️
Cheers from 2 Canadians 🇨🇦 living in Mexico 🇲🇽✌️
Probably safer there than here in Vancouver where unprovoked violent crime is up by 40%. Theft is rampant. Woke cities turn into shitholes. I'm thinking ...Panama.
Analyzing the causes of death does not seem very adequate because most of the crimes are not homicides. They can steal you, or assault you, to put an example, without killing you and being reported inside the causes of death. I am from Argentina, I would recommend all of the Patagonian region, as super safe.
Agreed. Andrew really screwed up the research on crime and safety. I have tried to research this is more detail and it seems all the Latin American shities are unsafe. And I was told by 170 I.Q. Omar Bessa (child prodigy from Argentina) that only Patagonia resembles the civilized world in Latin America.
According to Henderson no country is unsafe, even the top of homicide countries St. Kitts & Nevis just has 65 killings per 100,000 inhabitants, that means even there most people die on diseases.
Thank you Sir!
The statistics you cite for El Salvador are woefully out of date.
I’m starting to like your videos more than when your focusing on the moneyed class. They know how to look after themselves.
There is no monolithic "safe" country. In every nation, there are certain areas that are safer than others. For example, in the U.S. there are very "unsafe" areas such as Detroit, MI or E. St. Louis, MO or Oakland, CA. Then there are places such as Logan, UT, Gilbert, AZ or Portland, ME, which are all very safe. The moral of the story? Don't blindly move anywhere until you've done your due diligence to consider ALL factors (safety, cost of living, climate) affecting your choice of a new location. It only takes a few "bad" areas to drag down any country's overall safety rating.
Good points. Also, you may have a decent homicide rate but still have a serious violent crime rate.
Sierra Vista, AZ is safer than Gilbert. Yet nearby Douglas and Tuscon are not.
@@attentioncestpaslegal7847 No. Have you ever been to Alaska? Texas? Ohio? British Columbia?
East St. Louis is actually in Illinois.
@@jamesrenaud592 You're correct. My geography was a bit off.
In Uruguay, there are other places where it could be nice to live, besides Punta del Este, Montevideo. For example: Colonia del Sacramento or Carmelo. Some rich people, specially from Buenos Aires were moving there. There are nice places with golf courses, ports, beaches, wineries, vineyards.
Chile was my destination before health reasons changed those plans, but I never felt unsafe there, at least no less safe than in the US. The downside is it's not the cheapest place but it is clean and has plenty of infrastructure.
Western health care is iatrogenic and will make it worse.
I wonder if it's changed recently. They seem to be having issues with Venezuelans coming over.
One topic I never hear you discuss is how much risk there is living in countries with varying threats of natural disasters. Are countries with the threat of earthquakes, for example, better prepared than some others? A comparative discussion would be really helpful.
many of the most developed parts of the world are on the "ring of fire" around the Pacific.
If an earthquake gets you, you just die. Case closed, what more is there to talk about?
@@jackieboy1593 Not true. Some places better prepared than others
I am currently in Uruguay and while it is supposed to be safe, it was the first time we had my wife's purse snatched as we walked the street just after sunset.
Sorry to hear that. Hope you’re both fine 🙏 Which city btw? Take care sir 🫡
Poor Argentinians and Venezuelans have invaded Montevideo.
You shouldn't carry purse hanging off of your shoulder almost anywhere in the world. It will tend to keep even honest people honest. Just like you wouldn't leave an unlocked bike on the curb...
@@davidsebastianelli1326 you have apparently never visited the civilized world such as small, white towns in the U.S. or Scandinavia. Where this never happens. It is sad that you people think that's normal.
@@davidsebastianelli1326 Women all over the world carry handbags in public. It's not something abnormal.
After expending a few weeks in Venezuela last month, I have to say that things seemed to have improved a lot there. I went everywhere and felt very safe driving to various parts of the country and walking in the city. Also, the markets are full and you can find anything you want ( food is very expensive for people earning local salaries but a bit cheaper than the U S in dollars ) .....so I was very surprised as to how normal things are there now and how the overall safety has improved a lot.
Wish Andrew went into more detail about Chile.
How does one go about getting it’s residency / passport though. Many people remotely work and Chile seems like a beautiful place to do that from!
I would recommend waiting a bit for Chile......their immigration department is still backed up in terms of visa applications from the pandemic days (that's their excuse anyway) so visa/residency issuance is a real slow process (and it wasn't quick before).
They were horrifically strict during Covid times. Something to consider.
@@Captain_MonsterFart and earthquakes
@@jamesrenaud592 I get that... I remotely work for a US startup and Chile seems like a great place to work from. I know a friend who ended up getting into a degree program, that seemed like too much work though
I once heard Uruguay referred to as "Iowa by the sea" but I think that was to do with the cattle, not being boring. It is on my list of places to visit though.
As a Midwesterner, "Iowa by the sea" sounds awful.
If you like it peaceful, safe, simple but sophisticated (the only big "noise" is in Punta del Este during Summer months, i.e. December through the end of Carnaval, be it in February or March), even "boring", sometimes, then Uruguay might be interesting. Some 95% of the territory is farm land. I would live in Uruguay without any problem, but I would most likely stay away from Montevideo or Punta del Este, though I like both cities (except Punta del Este does suck during end-of-year holidays...too much people / traffic jams / car crashes due to drunk-driving etc). But that's just me. Probably would look into the countryside (Durazno, Melo, Rivera etc) or along the Atlantic coast (La Paloma, José Ignácio, La Pedrera). If one intends to settle on a farm/ranch, the price per hectare is lower than most of Brazil but more expensive than Paraguay. Bureaucracy has greatly diminished but is still a bit annoying. A good legal consulting office might be of essence (the main reason that takes me to Montevideo once in a while). People are overall very educated / kind / cosmopolitan / willing to help. English is widely spoken in the big cities, not so much on the rest, basic Spanish recommended...
@@fabiogoncalves9728 How is internet in Uruguay? Are good speeds widely available?
Fly infestations along the coast can sometimes be like locust waves of death in Africa.
@@wolfgangpohlmann5952 is the best internet of Américas , You can search information. Good luck
I would have liked your comments about Argentina as well. For citizens from some EU countries like Italy, Spain and probably others, they only require 2 years residency to be able to get Argentinian passport.
He's mentioned in other videos on Argentina that high residential taxes is the main reason he doesn't recommend to most of his clients.
don't see any value on moving down there, it's cheap but spain and italy can also get very cheap too, and unlike the mexican government where people can be free, the argentinean government is just as nazi as the europeans ones.
Is Argentina safe? How is the violent crime issue, not just homicide issue.
The con is Argentinian passport/citizenship is unrenounceable once you get it.
Better try to get Uruguayan or Brazilian passport and then can live in Argentina under the Mercosur.
@@infectedvoice4670 get residency in Paraguay (which is the easiest) and virtually zero taxes, then spend less than 6 months in any other country to maintain tax residency in Paraguay. This won't work for U.S. Citizens though who are always taxed by the I.R.S. no matter where they establish residency (actually this is unconstitutional but who can fight them?).
El Salvador has become a very safe country.
Heck’s to the nope…we have to say the truth I’m salvadorian and I know better
All the criminals have crossed the border into the United States.
The safest in the whole continent, overtook Canada
Interesting that correlation between high taxes and violence. I wonder if it is a Latin America only thing. Thank you. I'll do a little research on that
can u please clarify Panama, It sounds like u r saying valence is number 1 there. I have listened several times and it always sounds the same to me. If it is number 1 cause of death please list the document you are reading, so I can research it.
surprised to hear any praise for Columbia's coastline and to hear it mentioned after you mention CR with so many beaches especially the upscale ones in Guanacaste
Actually Peru is safer than most of the mentioned countries in South America. Safer than Colombia and Ecuador . Because of the effectiveness of Police . . .
I wish NC would do an update video to cover the horrific mistakes the Malaysian gov has made with its MM2H program. Some of the "benefits" :-you need to put 6 figures in a 3% interest bearing account, you need to prove a $10k USD monthly income and you only get a 5 year visa. They have changed this program twice in 4/5 years. Totally outrageous, totally unstable. I have no idea why NC still rates Malaysia.
In order not to become a persona non grata obviously.

@@camelotenglishtuition6394 yeah even if you can buy land, but no passport. If your home country revokes your passport, you're screwed. There will be many revoked passports over the coming years. The world is going to get very nasty with economic collapse and WW3 incoming.

I'm in the Philippines. You can live fairly well here on $1500 USD a month.
My 2 cents:
Uruguay: Punta del Este is great but not cheap at all. There are several smaller (but quieter) places in Rocha department.
Chile: Santiago is pretty safe and nice but I would go further south like Puerto Varas (beautiful, quiet, good infra, good food, nature, affordable).
Argentina: big cities would not be the most safe but honestly I don't think they're worse than LA. Some neighborhoods of city of Buenos Aires (like Palermo, Recoleta, Belgrano, Puerto Madero) are really good (try it and see) but I would go to Bariloche.
Panama and Costa Rica: I heard good stuff about them.
Brasil: I would stay away from big cities and go to the north beaches although internet was not so good.
Mexico: good internet and infra but I personally was not worried about criminals but narcs and (surprise) police (believe me they're corrupt af with foreigners).
Peru: the only suitable place to work remotely is Lima, if you move away you will notice the lack of infrastructure immediately.
Bolivia: honestly I don't see how you would work remotely there (been there in La Paz and some other places and do not recommended for work).
does making a monthly $2,500 auto-tranfer from a total $60k deposit still work for getting residency in Costa Rica?

El Salvador has become extremely safe!
You need to update your information. El Salvador just became the safest country in Latin America. And soon, it will be safer than Canada.
You believe the information the el Salvadorian government is putting out? Funny
Lmao do you live there?
I just visited El Salvador last month. It's very safe. I am a white American traveling solo. I stayed in the capital San Salvador.
It's because of the President who cracked down on all the gangs. My Uber driver was telling me it was dangerous just 1 year ago, but now it's safe.
@@Unknowngfyjoh I'm glad to hear you had no problems. But it's completely inundated with gangs in their culture, statistics will go up and down, but I would be wholeheartedly shocked if it became the safest in LATAM or one of.
They simply don't have the same culture, stability, laws, ability to enforce them as the anglo countries or rather ones stemmed from the British Empire. In Mexico now w/ partner (native here). The land of the frito bandito as Doug Casey puts it.
Its probably (mexico) most similar to the Wild Wild West days or the hippie days of California in 60s. Now Mexico is unique, but it's still in the region, & what made Dubai and Singapore financial power homes seem to be rule of law. I'm extremely skeptical that given its history, financial vulnerability, culture and current economic situation reliant on massive gangs that it (El Salvador) will attract that reputation. They 'just' made their bond payments.
Cracking down on gangs is surface level stuff, which is fine if you have small exposure or do little trips. But setting up shop, big investments, big properties, land, starting a family, 'very safe' is relative surely. If you go again I'd be interested to hear from more locals from the guy who you were paying in a car. Consider the fact too that you're a money man in their eyes, its not feasible or attractive to fuck with you, but its fair game for locals. Having said that, just like in LATAM, there 'are' very safe areas of El Salvador but everything I just said refers to the entire nation & think over a period of time, things revert to the mean.
@@mattball7074 stemmed from British? You mean like Guyana where I was robbed in broad daylight just 20 minutes after leaving my hotel?
I’m currently a UK resident I have a limited company in UK, but I spend 6 months to China, 3 months in Italy and just 3 months in UK, I don’t mind to keep my limited company in UK, but what is the best solution for my income tax? Thanks
domicile in Carribean and pay 0%.
What are the safety parameters considered in those stats? Are they relevant to the current geopolitical tensions?
The United States rank 129th in the Global Peace Index. Argentina ranks 69th. There are 19 Latin American countries which are safer than the US.
In USA crime is not spread, it's easy to avoid. In Latin countries it's widespread so easy to become a victim

I got Ecuadorian citizenship in 2020 and own a small coffee farm south of Loja (NOT Vilcabamba). Ecuador has become extremely violent, especially on the coast where drug cartels are vying for dominance. Vilcabamba also experiences a high rate of home invasions (on a per capita basis).
We've been living i various parts of Paraguay over the past nearly 6 years. Very safe, low cost of living, hardly any tax, good and improving infrastructure and services, ecotourism emerging, very good inland beaches and lots of water sport. Hardly any risk of natural disasters. Very easy and affordable residency.
Chile sucks....surprisingly expensive. Gas is $5.70 US per gallon and food is way more than Argentina.
worse then that now that you are talking about food, up to very recently you needed 5 experimental vaccines to enter to a restaurant in the capital city.
There's inflation here too my friend.
Latin America as a whole has been considered unsafe due to the American propaganda. On the other hand they don't considered obvious unsafe countries "too unsafe" simply because the locals speak english.
Mastering the language, anywhere in the world, is always a plus, though doesn't make you immune to violence.
Uruguay is pretty safe, although it has become a drug hub for Europe due to its location on the Atlantic and being close to "producers", and that has created problems with the cartels.
It is not a "boring" country, unless one is looking to live as a tourist who needs constant entertainment. For that there's Punta del Este where you will need to have a lot of money to reside there.
Other than that, local boredom can be minimized if one wants to live in a very cosmopolitan nation.
Do your own research and don't trust the USA version of Latin America, there are many amazing and interesting countries in the region; all of them pose some kind of insecurity.

Well it depends a bit on the district or region you go. Mexico is very safe in the Caribeans but some parts in the North are not great. THere is a big gap between Northern Brazil and Southern Brazil too. Use common sens and avoid the dirty zones and you will be fine in mots cases.

Hey Andrew! I am a crypto entrepreneur and I would love to hear more about El Salvador. Can you make a video about the opportunities of a institutional trader relocating to El Salvador? Things like banking, Corporations, personal and corporate tax?
El Salvador's crypto ventures seem to be on hold until positive sentiment returns to the market. Bukele has been quiet on bitcoin. Wouldn't be a smart political move for him to talk about it with the price being what it is, but I imagine we'll hear more as the market recovers.

Idk if it’s true but just what I heard. Also the driving is TERRIFYING there haha. When I went if I remember there wasn’t stop signs or maybe it was speed limits. Maybe both. But everyone drives like a MANIAC. Absolutely beautiful country though. It’s surprisingly very CLEAN. The ocean water is so clear that sometimes you can’t tell how deep it is. Very little pollution.

@@libertyoverbondage agreed the LatAm shities should be avoided (also cities not safe). Just like the Philippines, can't keep the power and Internet turned on unless the white Asians (e.g. Chinese) run the utilities. Peru should only be considered by those who plan to build all their own private infrastructure. But we do not have much alternatives as NATO will be depopulated by nuclear war and economic collapse. The West will become very draconian and dystopian.
I have not seen any crisis in Peru last days, It seem to be that it is fading very fast
Long term cisis or short term?
Low pace doesn’t mean boring, and that is what a lot of people are looking for. In the case of Uruguay there are a lot more places than Montevideo and Punta del Este, Rocha, Colonia, Maldonado, Salto, depends what you are looking for.Paraguay and Uruguay are not neighboring countries btw
How is Argentina not on this list? I thought it was one of the top 3 for safety in that area.
would you recommend a solo woman to relocate to one of the Latin American countries?
El Salvador due having a lot of policemen on the streets. El Salvador homicide rates as of 2023 is 2.4 per 100K population. USA is around 7 while Canada is 6. I highly recommend El Salvador. A lot of people from first world countries that speak english are moving there a lot since 2021. Are you russian?
Latin America is the easiest place to migrate / set up a plan B
Peru is going through some political turmoil at the moment which has resulted in protests (sometimes deadly) sprouting up. Not saying it’s reflective of the whole country at the moment but something to monitor

@CanSoU True
@CanSoU femiide?
@@BunnyHop2 its because we have petty crimes and we protect our property and homes . There are people here that have no money. We have never experienced any crimes here or never felt unsafe. People like ourselves that live here permanently understand and know!! We don't live in gated expat communities, we live among the Locals and have the best neighbors and friends all locals.. we don't live in touristy areas either.
Ugh CDMX is sinking though 😪
Not sure if Mexico is generally safe there.
@dancrowl where do you think is safest?
@@Don_Latino Merida, Puerto Vallarta, Cabos San Lucas/San Jose del Cabo, Queretaro, Puerto Morelos, Puerto Escondido, Santa Rosalia, Rocky Point, San Miguel de Allende; and generally the small (colonial) touristic towns or beach areas.
@@thetacokawaii5708 Los Cabos had the highest per captia murder rate on the face of the earth in 2017. Queretaro had a notorious soccer riot last year, 26 killed, this is quite rare in the Americas. I guess "safest" is relative, but not sure I would generally say some of these are safest.
@@azdbuk I'm calling bullshit on Cabos. Now Acapulco, on the other hand, is crime-ridden a shithole. Queretaro is still safe according to expats/locals living there via CZcams & other forums.
@@Don_Latino small towns along the Pacific coast of Baja are reasonably safe (for now). It will change if many gringos are hanging around, then then flies to honey.
COME TO BRAZIL
it's safer here as long as you don't leave your house and it's protected like a bunker
😂
Don't forget the bazookas and the hand grenades!
Nicaragua us awesome.
This canadian is looking at moving to Paraguay. There is no way that I want to retire in Canada.
Who can afford to live let alone retire in the People's Republic of Canukistan?
@@libertyoverbondage Exactly. move somewhere else.
@@sc3639
I left nanny state, land of micromanagers known as the People's Republic of Canukistan, long ago! Never regret leaving even once!
Every time I have to go back to see family.. i just feel 🤢🤢🤢🤢😡
Can't stand the people, the government from municipal to federal, can't stand the weather!
Each time, I return, the more disgusted i am.
I have seen Canadians enjoying good life in Peru. It is like Paraguay but cheaper + sunny beaches + cheap land + incredible food.
@@davidveraok
Problem with Peru, is many people will resent you for having money ( target you for scams and theft). And the government is always a mess.
The infrastructure in the country is terrible.. people are lazy, even professionals
Having lived there 3 years, it take a lot of adjusting.
As a gringo in Ecuador for four years now I can tell when a woman has just got here. They have a death grip on their purse. Where I live is as safe as Montana where I am from. Come to Ecuador for the mountains., not the beach. The coast is where it is more dangerous.
If there is any South American reading this. My goal is to buy rural land in South America. Could yous recommend places I should consider and places I should stay away from. Cheers
Uruguay
Stay away from Mexico, Central America (except Costa Rica), Colombia and Venezuela.
The rest is overall safe/tolerable and you don't have the risk of being invaded/blackmailed/expropiated from your property.
Peru has a lot of rural land to buy . . . the farer the cheaper
I'm South American from Colombia, I believe it's best to first contemplate what the political situation of the country is prior to come up to such decision, political unrest and instability generate crime and deteriorate the quality of life in a country!
People die from violence in The US. I want a country where no one is shooting in Walmart
Uruguay always on top of latam in every topic
What About Argentina ????
Just got back from Chile and it definitely not safe like everyone thinks
That's too bad to hear. When I was there it was generally safe you just had to look out for pick pockets.
Have you ever noticed? When 6 people go on vacation to Costa Rica or Belize? Only 3 ever make it back? 😂
Uruguay is indeed a very calm and beautiful place to live without violence. But Chile that was the most secure place in SouthAmerica is now changing and being worst.
Have you seen our latest video about Uruguay? You might find it interesting: czcams.com/video/Gr0wNzJExj8/video.html
I'll summarize. The higher % of White Latin Americans, the safer the country
You're not wrong. That's why I think southern Brazil looks like such a nice place. Places which voted for Bolsonaro instead of Lula.
Same as in the U.S. - The farthest away from MLK Blvd. is the safest.
Wrong again.
@@billyhughes805 the truth is hard to accept. Whites have more self-control which accompanies the higher average IQs.
Cusco is not even close to being white , but is very safe. So why Cusco do not fit in your criteria ?
Interesting how you avoid speaking about Argentina, the largest Spanish speaking country in the world, and one of the safests according to the Global Peace Index.
Taxes
Cannot renounce your argentinian citizenship.
Hmmm road injuries one of the main causes of death there. Better get that chopper licence?
Why not Panama ?
I felt safe there.
Do you not like Panama?
Panama is underrated for safety , incredibly safe , police everywhere all time, camera everywhere ,
daily smashed Australia? Done✅
El Salvador is now the safest country in Latin America.
Apparently you haven't been doing your research on El Salvador. It is (by far) now the safest country in Latin America; and was three months ago when you did this video.
We do plenty of research on El Salvador. They have not come through with many of the RCBI options promised, but in this case the video refers to a visit in 2015. If we go back to select vendors for any programs they do create, we will gladly update with our new experiences. Until they deliver on RCBI programs, we have no reason to go back.
@@nomadcapitalist What are you talking about? I was referring to the safety of the country. Andrew got that wrong. That is what he was talking about. Why would you refer to a 2015 visit when the current president, who has completely (historically) transformed the country, was not yet in office? He was elected in 2019. If you had done the research you claimed to have done you would have known that. Accuracy matters.
No one moves to Latin America for personal security. There must be some other compelling reasons, such as easy residency, fast track to citizenship, warmer climate, less regulation (e.g. Colombia no regulation on single parent IVF so if you're a gay male you can a single parent), etc.
As an English speaker Asia is a no brainer vs Latin America. Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore all great choices
And if you still really need some Latino culture in Asia then check out the Philippines. That country is a true melting pot.
In relation to safety this is true, but the culture in Latin America is more similar to the west, also many of these asian countries are already being crowed by expats and tourism.
FYI your stats on El Salvador are outdated in the past two years it's become incredibly safer, more than many American cities
Brazil amazing country but culture of taxes is ridiculous, ideologies and government power makes everything pretty annoying. When I started to study and understand about taxes in countries, quality of life... I can guarantee Brazilians don't receive great feedback from how much taxes we pay. Certainly live and pay taxes to other countries are way better, that is my road for now!
Once again you missed the opportunity to mention what has become the safest country not only in Latin America but rather in the whole American continent. El Salvador, perhaps you should go visit and see by yourself
How about Belize?
Bill gates is in Belize.
Terrible, often violent, crime there. Just sold my house and relieved to get out of there.
@@y.v.g.b.4306 Belize? San Pedro?? Really? . tell me what happened?
Ecuador has gone bad.
Only around the port area mostly. The expat mountain escapes are still okay.
El Salvador is now one of the safest.
I don't understand why usa doesn't admit Porto Rico to USA as state as well as Guam.
U.S. Congress must agree and most of all previous referenda have shown P.R. prefers Status Quo, Commonwealth, Twilight Zone, Situation to Statehood and/or Independence.
What about Honduras?
The best choice in LATAM is Buenos Aires Argentina. The safest Capital within Latam countries, the coolest, and prettiest of all. No doubt the place to go is Buenos Aires by far. Better numbers than big USA cities.
Best places to eat, have fun, cheapest, and more cultural life.
That might be truth, but Argentina is going through a crisis, there's crime, and life for Argentinian people is difficult as well!
I have Argentinian friends living abroad because of this!
@@miguelramirez6352 You clearly have never been to Buenos Aires. The city of Buenos Aires is quite safe. The danger exists only in the suburbs outside the city, called Conurbano.
Buenos Aires is 8 times safer than Bogota, and 3 times safer than Sao Paolo,.
Chile is much better than Argentina, living here is the best passport, 40 years of growth and even more...
Baltic countries better have a bug out bag! It’s coming
If it’s another war you are talking about, then I agree 100 percent.
It is coming.
Why?
