Retiree
Portugal ($1,800/mo COL, €2,100/m²), Greece (7% flat tax for retirees), or Costa Rica (equal foreign ownership rights).
Remote Worker

Investor
Dubai: 6-7% gross yield + 0% income tax + 0% capital gains. Turkey: 7%+ yields + citizenship from $400K. Bali: 8-15% gross but on depreciating leasehold.
