Would you emigrate to Asia? Need your advice

[Thrashertm]

I am in the process of setting up a business that helps Americans emigrate to Asia. I was wondering if the concept would be appealing you (the Liberty crowd) as much as it appeals to me, and what kind of services or information might interest you.

The compelling reason to go is that you can have a much better lifestyle and there's greater economic opportunity in Asia. It's particularly attractive if you have US dollar savings; in some desirable parts of Asia, you can have a good full meal for $2, and a 30 minute taxi ride is around $2. Some parts of Asia have an incredibly hospitable and friendly culture that you will fall in love with (like I did). Finally, it is becoming more imperative to get out while you still can! This country seems to be barreling down the road to socialism/serfdom despite the best efforts of Ron Paul and ourselves.

Emigrating to a new country is a complicated process, and there's a lot of things to explore and consider before going. To make the move as efficiently and safely as possible, you need a trusted partner to lead you through the process. That's where we come in

There are some of the services we will be offering

• Recommend a destination country and city based on your needs
• Custom research into your prospective destination
• Job placement assistance
• Arrange exploration/orientation trip
• Temporary Housing recommendation/arrangements
• Service provider (lawyers, tax/accounting, realtor, doctor) recommendations

Would you be willing to make the move? Under what circumstances? What other services would you be interested in?

Thanks for your feedback!

Sounds like an awesome idea. I have been thinking about emigrating to Australia for some time now, but I would consider Asia if a service such as yours was available. I bet you could do some cross promotion with EuroPacific Capital, as they advocate getting your money out of the country.

Thanks for the positive feedback. I will be reaching out Europac to become a strategic partner once we get cranked up (should be in the next few weeks). Some of Schiff's statements to the effect of "more and more Americans are going to be leaving the US as it becomes less and less economically competitive" really struck home with me, and were partially an inspiration to get this business going.

This is an excellent idea!

None of the options really fit our situation - we have not ruled out Asia but it isn't high on our list.

Thanks for the feedback. Which region were you thinking of moving to? Would you mind telling me a little about your needs so that I can adjust my marketing strategy accordingly (feel free to private message me with any info you don't want getting into the general population).

I have thought about Australia as well. Seems like it would be a pretty easy transition.

Actually, if you added Australia and New Zealand to your list, it would probably be an easier sell. I've almost sold my Dad on retiring to Australia, though I fear it may be too late by the time he does in five years.

Another good possibility is that you could open some sort of holding company in each of those countries so that people can convert their money before leaving (ie issue shares proportional to the amount of money they deposit in the companies bank account--or something like that). Opening up a bank account in a far off country is a royal pain. If you could offer up a service like that, that would probably help you get funds earlier on than you would otherwise.

Thanks for the suggestions. We will expand to other countries eventually, but I have good contacts in East Asia that I plan on leveraging. The great thing about Asia vs. Aus and NZ is that it's soooo cheap. If you're middle class in the US, you can be upper class or downright rich in Asia. In Aus and NZ you're still middle class...

I love the holding company idea!

Based on my travels in Asia, I think the Philippines and Malaysia are the best fit for most Americans due to language requirements and their low cost. We will be offering the service for most countries in Asia eventually, and perhaps expanding to other regions in the world depending on what the market demands.
