you tube My wife and I recently went to Aruba for our wedding anniversary and we went crazy there with activities, visiting sales presentations, speaking with the lawyers, learning about the culture and history of Aruba and everything to do with expat life in the small island nation of Aruba. We put a ton of work into this video on Aruba and I hope you get a lot of value from it.

Hey everyone, hope you enjoyed the video. Feel free to grab our new e-book on "How To Get A New Passport Fast" at expatmoney.com/how-to-get-a-new-passport-fast
Just got back a few days ago. Spent 5 days there. Absolutely beautiful. Recently retired and would love to live here.
Thanks for taking the time. Video started off good but took waaayyy to much time,rambling about the time share. While missing a ton of important info expats or digital nomads would want to know about. Nothing about cost of groceries, cost of rent, transportation options or the cost of it, internet options and speed of, co working spaces or options. Lots you missed.
Very informative... I have sat thru a few timeshare pitches just for fun and the perks but nothing like what you describe. Great that you are actually reading the contracts. Not many people do... devil is in the details!
Thank you for the very informative video. I'm going to Aruba in May, so I'm very glad to see that things are bustling. This will be my fourth trip to Aruba, the first time since COVID. The previous trips were strictly for vacation. This trip is for vacation and to evaluate for retirement. I will take special note of your advice about the timeshare presentation.
BTW, we went to Panama for Christmas / New Years and to evaluate it for retirement. We enjoyed our trip alot, but it's not likely to be our retirement home. To be determined.
I look forward to checking out more of your videos. Have a great day!
Nice video! 🇦🇼
Excellent, informative and educating video.
Dream relocation for me besides:
Panama
Costa Rica
Belize!
You deserve a humanitarian award for giving unsuspecting individuals on how to avoid a:
"Financial Colonic" from those unscrupulous;
Timeshare/Snake Oil Salesman!
Hi Mikkel awesome video! As a native here in Aruba I've learned something new from this video! sorry to hear you did not get any info from a Real Estate company. My Team and I are more then happy to assist you in any questions you have regarding Real Estate in Aruba.
All the best!
Erwin Contact info? Or website?
The time to invest in Aruba is NOW! 💯
By 2030, the island has plans to redevelop it's airport into a massive one increasing airlifts from Europe and beyond. By 2023 British Airways will have scheduled flights to the island. Hence, real estate prices will rise sharply.
Long-time estate agent here. I’m amazed you think an agent should take you out looking at property simply for your amusement.
You must be one really shitty real estate agent. You are to show any potential interested party the property. End of story. Learn your job.
I spent 1 month there best days of my life the weither is just amazing a bit expensive but safe and the infrastructures are europeen
Sense
Great video! What are your thoughts on Curaçao???
I'm in the process obtaining permanent residency in Panama but I'm very interested in planting seeds in Curaçao. Thank you.
@@ExpatMoneyShow Thank you!
I've been to Curaçao 5 times, I think you will like it there. It's a much more rich in culture and less "Americanized" than Aruba. Tourism is not as big and I've certainly never seen or heard anything regarding timeshare products on the island. Thanks for sharing your timeshare experience on Aruba. That was very interesting.
@@ExpatMoneyShow Thank you! I will do that. By the way, I love your content with Marco Wutzer. He seems to be one of the most underrated crypto experts out there.
@@ExpatMoneyShow FYI: I just filled out the form on your website.
Great info, jump over to my country to make such a video ;)
@@ExpatMoneyShow sorry, stupid me. im on Curacao right now. I travel a lot but Curacao is for many reasons my home country now for 3 years. You are welcome!
@@ExpatMoneyShow hola! yes there are 4 direct flights a week between Panama and Curacao, with Copa.
“Land of bent trees”! Appropriate 🌝
Mikkel, How long would it take to get Dutch Citizenship and how would residency work in the Dutch Caribbean (i.e. St. Martin, Aruba, Curacao, Bonaire, Saba)? I heard that there is a Dutch American Friendship Treaty (DAFT) especially for Americans which facilitates Americans getting Dutch citizenship. What value do you see in Dutch Citizenship other than having access to Europe and how would it compare to say the Portugal D7 program or Golden Visa program in your opinion? Does a resident have to be in the Dutch Caribbean or would having a condo or home count as your on the ground residency?
WOW great video glad it popped up on my feed. We will be retirees in a few years in our late 50s and we live in the Northern USA. We would like to buy a condo on an island within 4-5 hour flight . Just for our personal family use and to rent out when we aren’t using it. We have been to Aruba twice, Playa Del Carmen in Mexico many times, as well as Jaimaca and the Cayman Islands. You gave very helpful detailed . We will look into Curaçao 🇨🇼.
Wow I can't believe you sat thru the timeshare presentation. I always tell tourist not to go to them no matter what they are offering, dinner voucher, casino chips whatever. They will keep you there 2 hours. Also there are people who are selling their timeshare and for much cheaper. How did he react when you told him you were not buying?
Though your video was great and lots of great info provided. Could you confirm if the 2% corporate tax would apply to an airbnb off shore holding?
that specific situation is something to ask your financial advisor.
I heared a German guy saying that aruba was much better than any country he lived in Europe. What do you think?
Free travel.. just BUY points!
Do I need to put down 50 percent for mortgage?
If you are a non resident a local bank can finance up to 65% of the purchase or construction price. And you would have to submit the remaining 35% plus the notary fee and bank charges. Max term would be around 15 years (this is info from just one local bank) Any info regarding buying a property on Aruba I would be happy to answer, your local Aruban Real Estate Agent
Hahahahahaha!
I live here I know these people well.
It's a scam. I've seen how it works.
They buy timeshares and sell them to you for 4× the price except "it's not a timeshare"
Don't fall for it, guys. Enjoy the nature of the island.
Where is Patty mayonnaise, Doug... Lol 😆
Time share always scammers
My net worth is $5.5 million US dollars....l definitely love Aruba vacations.
nobody asked
You are talking from the average person point of view, this is for the rich. You got to balance this out. Then it would be a fair play. Thank you anyway.
@@ExpatMoneyShow Thank you for your response. What I mean is not only people that are rich stay in Aruba but you have middle class also that is moving there and not so middle-class and I think that you should cover all areas of income. That’s good if you are doing financially great but that does not mean that everybody else who want to move to Aruba is doing financially great. So if you don’t mind sir can you please balance it out from the rich to the not so rich. I believe even military veterans would like to retire in Aruba. Thank you for your answer in advance have a great day and stay will protected
@@ExpatMoneyShow Sayless
There was/is not such a plandem-ic so that is why sone countries decided to not to comply with the rules that go against human rights and destroy economies and people wellbeing
