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.

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

Usa earned income tax exemption goes up to 90k
