I need a EU based WARM country . . .
 

where they really do hate Putin and Russia.

Because now it looks like there is none.

Except Poland.


But I said WARM.


Ideas?

I haven't heard anything about Malta loving Russia/Putin... Maybe even Spain and Portugal...

Malta sounds beautiful really.

Bulgaria perhaps. I dont think they are in good terms now

Tiny country (~300k ppl), becoming more expensive, crappy rocky beaches but cleanest sea water in EU...

Half of Bulgaria supports Russia/Putin...
Their sea sucks...

I have checked and it seems like only 3 EU based countries are not dependant on gas from Putin: Portugal, Spain and Ireland.

So, next vacation i'm gonna spend my money in Spain or Portugal.

Only countries which are warm entire year are the on on south, so that means, spain,portugal, south france, south italy, malta,greece and cyprus.
But i think they all love putin :D

Which one is the cheapest what do you think?

Southern Italy? Or Greece? Portugal?

Portugal is quite cheap howmuch i know, i remember one gfyer posted once how he rented entire villa for only 1000 euros monthly. Tho, greece could be cheaper considering they are in economic crisis and people massively moving out.

What the hell are you talking about. We Polish are a tropical people.
The 35c it's been out lately isn't enough?

What's wrong with Putin?

Here we go again :)

Malta, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Croatia, South of France.
And if you want EU to add distance from Russia, you have a wide range of option of oversea destinations :
Madeira, Islas canarias, Azores and closer the to US : Martinique & Guadeloupe

All the above are nice and warm places AND territories which are fully part of the EU. Most people there may do not hate Putin or Russia but they just don't give a flying fuck about them.

Curacao is EU >;)

Croatia is definitely not warm entire year except maybe Dubrovnik which is in deep south. In fact, there was a snow on south after very long time,even on islands.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh . . .

Hungary would be perfect for you.

LOL

Hungary's president Orban is proputin...
It has long and cold winters (warm only in summer)
Boring...

betraying another country?

try Slovenia

fix your head first....
good luck !

Does it need to be adult friendly?

About right.

I need to find out more about Portugal.

Jeez. That was harsh.

Will go see Lubliana soon, it's fairly expensive tho I heard.

More, I'm leaving for Mars betraying the world!

Basically true, that was my first impression of summer in Poland... day time only tho, +35C and humid like Vietnam and then +10 and humid again in the night.
We only talk a couple of days in August :)))))

Been there once, quite awesome!! :thumbsup

Portugal actually will give you a residence without having to pay taxes, it's really the best option in eu at the moment.

Need to check it out, any refs?

It's mostly for older folks already in pension for first 10 years:

Non-Habitual Residents ? Portugal ? EDGE | Portuguese Non-Habitual Residents Regime

I myself live in Portugal, profit from the 10 years tax free opportunity (and don't consider myself among the old folks yet). However to profit from that rule, I had to set up a business construction outside of the country before I started living here, so that the tax authorities consider my earnings as foreign source income. The additional rule is that your foreign source income shouldn't have a tax haven as origin. If you search on Google for 'black list', 'non habitual resident' and 'Portugal' you most likely get to see sources with a list of forbidden source countries. Finally the tax free rule most likely doesn't apply to U.S. citizens, because Uncle Sam still keeps taxing you abroad on your worldwide income unless you officially renounce your U.S. citizenship.

In general, compared to many of the other southern regions mentioned by others, Portugal is damn cheap, unless you live in big cities like Lisbon and Porto. Summers in Portugal can be VERY hot (which causes many forest fires every year) and a bit chilly in the winter. However, in general no snow unless you live high in the mountains. If you prefer a more equal temperature, then the Portuguese island Madeira might be your thing where it is an average 20 degrees Celsius all year long.

Since Portugal still is a pretty conservative catholic country it also means that people aren't very open about sex stuff. For example, topless or completely nude bathing is forbidden by law and as far as I have seen it, there also isn't something like a local industry of porn producers. On the other hand, as long as you don't disturb others with your adult related activities, really nobody gives a damn what the hell you are doing.

Dude come here in GReece ;)

^^Why whats good about it?

gasoline for almost 2 euros, lazy& warm people and taxed to hell (on paper) ?

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

i have been in portugal this year the first time and i really must say that i have not seen nicer people in europe as there.

nearly everyone speaks english and/or spanish, they are open, friendly, helpful and what i found in the internet it is number one for many reasons.

look here

and here

and here

if i would not have already that much "warm homes" i would chose portugal.

Noice.

I work remotely, US mostly.
Question is do they need a proof of certain income to cover the stay? Would Paxum / Payoneer statement work? Do they want income to be in accordance with contracts - say a an agreement with a US biz entity?

I recall, I guess you are well set on Bali or Thailand. Thanks, checking the refs out.
