    Also, this is diabolical, but it can probably be done. Rent a space, a residential apartment, then, first day you are there, establish a business with the address via signing up online with the local state/municipality. Make yourself an Amazon account and resell items you buy from aliexpress.com for a 50% to 150% markup.

    Hire no one, do everything yourself.

    Here is the key: pay all of your taxes ahead of time. All the time. Establish a tax trail, pay everyone. Local authorities, everyone. Make sure there is record of it, get receipts.

    Once you have some sort of business, no matter what you do, no country wants to throw out a tax payer.

    @DAiDEViL yo, what's up in Germany? I hear two things. Huge protests (inflation?) & deutsche bank leaning towards abyss. What's your take there
    Really?

    No to both I'd say.

    There are a lot of public service folks on strike though, if that's what you mean. But I wouldn't necessarely link that to inflation. It's been boiling underneath the surface for quite a while, way before all the Ukrain shit happened.

    DB should be safe.

    Honestly, I would think there are similar laws in European countries as America where you can claim asylum from persecution of a tyrannical government.

    Iran meets those pre-reqs in my book, big guy.
    Assylum is a different story. I just wanted to clarify that if he gets a Schengen visa then it will be impossible to work.

    Oh, I totally get it, my post was combined, but they were completely separate thoughts. I thought the phrasing of the first sentence was quite humorous, like upper-arms.

    Exactly 3 months post-injury and I did my first hike today. 18 km in about 3 hrs. 3 km of it was breaking through a snow crust and sinking up to a ft deep with almost every step (decent incline uphill for 1.5k, then back down 1.5k). No pain, no feelings of instability or like the knee was going to give out. And somehow managed to maintain an almost 6 km/hr pace which is close to my pre-injury pace.

    Of course, it’s just the first time out and next times could be much worse, but right now feeling super psyched.

    If i come to Portugal as tourist Can i meet companies and get job?
    As i know Citizens of countries outside the EU/EEA must apply for a residence permit to work in EU Countries, but what's about work for less than 3 months, do need the residence permit?
    I don't know about the level of skill and requirements to meet job in tech. what's the situation out there for language skills? Is English sufficient to get job?
    I first moved to Portugal as a tourist. But once I got here, I claimed residency through my wife (EU reunion visa), got my NIF (a kind of social security/tax number that's public), a Portuguese bank account, and started a job here. But I lined that up beforehand.

    More often for immigrants I hear the story (a lot of this from Desis from Nepal, India, Pakistan) where it was easy to get a work visa and they could pick up anything here ... Uber driver, restauranteur, whatever.

    There are other visas as well. The thing is we used to have a Non-Habitual Residency program where people with certain skills, particularly technical, were so desired you could claim 10 years at a 20% tax rate. They did this to attract both foreign talent and to draw expats back to the homeland. They stopped the program I believe after it worked a little too well. But it reflects the open climate for luring immigrant tech workers here.

    And if you work in tech here, you're at a disadvantage if you don't know English. Much less so if you don't know Portuguese. English is spoken all over the country. We're not the Netherlands, but we're not too far off.

    I love Montreal as a city. But the Quebecois are mostly such arrogant, pompous fuckers.

    Yeah. I’m doing the non-surgical route for the time being. Consulted with the orthopaedic surgeon and my sports physio about more recent studies that showed a certain percentage of people with full thickness ACL tears can return to pre-injury perfomance levels through rehab and strengthening of the muscles alone, so we decided to go that route for the next year and see where I’m at then.

    How’s your recovery coming?
