Problem with most EU countries is getting a work visa and then most of the salaries are low and cost of living high.

doesn't matter when you make 200k+

plus you don't have to be a us citizen/resident to get a remote job though it is a huge advantage.

It matters when your annual tax bill is over US$100k. Poor people don't understand that.

You cannot get a remote job directly through a US company without citizenship or one of the visas required for work within the US. The visa or citizenship is a prerequisite for a tax ID or SSN. A tax ID or SSN is required for filing your income tax witholding elections. You cannot legitimately work in the US without filing a tax withholding election even if you are a student and not required to pay taxes. You can perform contracted project work through a foreign affiliate but that is not a remote job.

But you can do what many Trinis do: overstay your visitor's visa and work for your uncle at below minimum wage rates.

Or you can do what many Trinitrollers do: pretend to be someone other than a brokeass fukkup sufferer.

The later appears to be your preference.

Unless you are a US citizen, chances are you not being paid 200k+ in any remote job.

That job could easily be filled by a US citizen so no need for remote.

Yes, you can get a remote job without citizenship. It is rare that you pay over $100k in taxes lol unless you make serious bank.

I am a US citizen but you can believe what you want to make yourself feel better.

Hey dumbass! You're stupid. You said US$200k per year not me.

Because US$100K in taxes is about what you'll pay when you earn $200K in the US and pay taxes there, while living in the EU and pay taxes there, too.

I have a partner working remotely for a US company, it's a daily rate contract and he's making $300usd a day. Not sure if or who he pays taxes too.

Poor little dumbass. I can't know what is going on in your online fantasy life. You can't help but to say stupidshitt.

You're talking about two or three different scenarios simultaneously but you seem to believe that they are all the same. If you live in Florida and you are a US citizen working remotely for a US company, how does that have anything to do with working in the US remotely and living in the EU? Living in Florida, you must be paying US taxes - or maybe not. ;)

Move to the EU, and work in the EU (or anywhere else), and then you WILL pay double taxes.

Joined TriniTuner just for this thread. I try my best not to talk down on Trinidad so I will say this place is not the right place for me and it's time to move on. I've been trying for years to leave this god forsaken place with little luck but my gut tells me I will get through soon so I decided to share my journey with other likeminded people.

I recently completed my IELTS exam and have the required money for Canadian Express Entry saved up. I haven't submitted my application for the Express Entry yet but will submit it sometime next month because I want to get my documents in order.

I've also tried the DV lottery but haven't been unsuccessful for three draws. It's so frustrating but I prefer America over Canada so I'll be applying faithfully as long as the DV lottery exists.

Anyone considering moving to Portugal? Their immigration seems much easier than most and it's the new "place to be" for North American immigrants. Their universities are much more affordable than the US and Canada, and I believe international students can work part time during the school term and full time during during school breaks. The only negative I have with Portugal is the fact that it isn't much different from Trinidad except for the littering and crime, i.e. boring for young people not interested in the beach and partying.

Hello youngman,

The “new place to be” for NA immigrants especially Caribbean people would account for the littering and crime.

lol, dunce, you don't pay 100k in taxes if you work for 200k in Florida.

Other states have different income taxes.

Go read up on income taxes in Florida.

Also go look up digital nomading....some countries like Portugal and eastern european countries cater to american remote workers. They give them certain breaks including with taxes.

I'll end this here because again you're behaving abusive.

A tax ID or SSN is required for filing your income tax witholding elections. You cannot legitimately work in the US without filing a tax withholding election even if you are a student and not required to pay taxes. You can perform contracted project work through a foreign affiliate but that is not a remote job.

But you can do what many Trinis do: overstay your visitor's visa and work for your uncle at below minimum wage rates.

Or you can do what many Trinitrollers do: pretend to be someone other than a brokeass fukkup sufferer.

The later appears to be your preference.


Yes, you can get a remote job without citizenship. It is rare that you pay over $100k in taxes lol unless you make serious bank.

I am a US citizen but you can believe what you want to make yourself feel better.

Hey dumbass! You're stupid. You said US$200k per year not me.

Because US$100K in taxes is about what you'll pay when you earn $200K in the US and pay taxes there, while living in the EU and pay taxes there, too.


Hahahaha

Thanks for the laugh.

It's definitely not like that that in my state Florida....and you're the stupid one if you think that's true.


Poor little dumbass. I can't know what is going on in your online fantasy life. You can't help but to say stupidshitt.

You're talking about two or three different scenarios simultaneously but you seem to believe that they are all the same. If you live in Florida and you are a US citizen working remotely for a US company, how does that have anything to do with working in the US remotely and living in the EU? Living in Florida, you must be paying US taxes - or maybe not. ;)

Move to the EU, and work in the EU (or anywhere else), and then you WILL pay double taxes.


lol, dunce, you don't pay 100k in taxes if you work for 200k in Florida.

Other states have different income taxes.

Go read up on income taxes in Florida.

Also go look up digital nomading....some countries like Portugal and eastern european countries cater to american remote workers. They give them certain breaks including with taxes.

I'll end this here because again you're behaving abusive.
Not abusive, yet, my little dumbass.

You want to live in the EU or do you want to visit for a year? That's the difference between being a resident and having a nomad visa. You said live in the EU and remote in the US, not me. You're a dumbass, sure. But you are a real dumbass if you believe that I can't read what I quoted you saying.

Where the hell did I say I live in the eu? lol. I was talking in general.

You have issues you need to sort out. Gonna start ignoring your abusive comments that isn't conducive towards a healthy discussion.

Work on your issues my man and get rid of that insecurity.

I recently completed my IELTS exam and have the required money for Canadian Express Entry saved up. I haven't submitted my application for the Express Entry yet but will submit it sometime next month because I want to get my documents in order.

I've also tried the DV lottery but haven't been unsuccessful for three draws. It's so frustrating but I prefer America over Canada so I'll be applying faithfully as long as the DV lottery exists.

Anyone considering moving to Portugal? Their immigration seems much easier than most and it's the new "place to be" for North American immigrants. Their universities are much more affordable than the US and Canada, and I believe international students can work part time during the school term and full time during during school breaks. The only negative I have with Portugal is the fact that it isn't much different from Trinidad except for the littering and crime, i.e. boring for young people not interested in the beach and partying.


Welcome leavingforgood.
I think everyone in Trinidad figures at some point in their lives that its time to leave.
Some Choose Canada or USA.
I was looking at Europe specifically Netherlands but now that you mention Portugal Ill look into it.
Basically you can go anywhere you want its all about how to do you finance yourself when you get there but make no mistake there is definitely no FUTURE HERE WHATSOEVER.
The country is a failed state.

And paying income taxes in both.

You just forgot what hypotheticals you were speaking about. I just reminded you.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

You'd want to believe everyone notices that but you'll be shocked at how many "bright" UWI students are satisfied with living paycheck to paycheck, liming in the same old tired dirty bar, and complaining about UNC vs PNM. I try to avoid them like the plague because they then try to make you feel crazy for wanting more out of life.

I've heard some people talk about the Netherlands but their experience was many years ago and they got through via marriage. I'll definitely research them some more.

The financing when I get there is where I always start doubting myself no matter how much money I have saved. I have been battling with RBL for MONTHS to get $500USD sent to a US bank account. It's ridiculous. Not to sound overdramatic but I sometimes wonder if they are trying to force people to be stuck in this god forsaken place. I swear, once I get out I am gone for good.

You cant really blame those UWI students because some of them are alcohol/party addicts and cant think straight.
And yes many persons in Trinidad including those with Masters Degrees living paycheck to paycheck but they too ashamed to speak about it.

Is that $5000 USD yours or did you apply for it from RBL?
