“But keep in mind you can’t purchase a home. Am I wrong? Can you work if you wanted?”
You are right. One must be a citizen to own property or a business.
Many expats talk about “their” houses, but it is really their wife or girlfriend’s property.
It is of no concern to me, as I have no need or desire to OWN a home at age 66.
But how much is a bottle of booze and a bag of weed? Inquiring minds want to know.
