I did simlar ,I spent a few years in asia travelling ,using my pc etc.....but once l was back in the UK and started to work there ,l was asked questions like ..what have you done for the last 5 yrs...it didnt impress the tax office when l told them l had just hung out in asia etc......  |
Mmm.. Asian may be different Tortoise - never been there for any time and can't say. We've just got medical insurance to cover anything - including air ambulances where needed. But... a few countries have very good healthcare and often better or equal to the EU or US and this has not been a problem so far.
Hell.. hard luck on UK Revenue!! :-) Ya ain't done anything illegal and it's within their tax rules. But... it is handy to be able to prove that you did in fact "hang out in Asia" :-) (Like.. air tickets/passport stamp etc)...
