Why Aussies Are Retiring in Asia (And How Much You Need)

Why are thousands of Australians leaving the country to retire in Southeast Asia? In this video, I break down exactly why more Aussies are choosing to retire in Thailand, Bali, Vietnam, Malaysia, and the Philippines, and how much money you actually need to make it work.

We're talking real monthly budgets, visa requirements, Age Pension portability rules, superannuation access overseas, healthcare insurance, and the hidden risks nobody warns you about.
