    Is there supposed to be a video or just text responses to questions?

            As a single woman, I am looking for safe locations to move to that will stretch my dollars. I am looking for strong expat communities for singles, if possible. I prefer to rent, as this will be my first time living outside of the US. Willing to go car-free. Also concerned about Panama.

            I lived very happily for several years in Malaysia as a single American woman. Always felt safe, cared about, welcomed, and energized. I found friends--good friends--and lots of activities to do. Travel to other parts of Asia was very easy. Healthcare was excellent and lots of English spoken there.

              i have been unsuccessful in finding a contact person in Mazatlan to assist in renting a condo there for 6 months of 2025. I would appreciate any recommendations from Lee Harrison. Thank you,

              There are plenty of way to rent in Mazatlan. A quick Google search will give you a list of real estates to contact, or you can look on VRBO, AirBnb, or something similar. Another great option is to join the expat Facebook group for Mazatlan and there are plenty of people who live there that can answer your questions and share good real estate agents.

                              One of the best things for me about moving to France, Portugal, Spain or Montenegro is going car free. I have previously lived in the UK, Europe, Latin American and Asia and never owned a car in those years. So I don't want a place where I need a car, but I don't want a huge city with the expense, noise, etc. So what are the best car free places in those areas?

                                  For France, you can look at Nice which has a thriving expat community for singles. I'd also consider Lyon and even Paris.

                                      Terry, I missed the first part of your presentation. Where is the region within Portugal you were talking about? I am interested in the north above Porto. Do you know anything about that region? Any thoughts or recommendations?

                                          I would like to stay in Europe beyond the 90 days allowed. Which visas in Europe would allow us to stay for a couple of years without taxing our income earned in the US? I would consider renting or buying in the right areas.

                                          Hello,

                                          For France, it's the Long Stay visa which is fairly easy to get and covers you for 12 months, then you renew it in France. You apply in the USA. All of the details are covered on the IL France webpage under visas.
