About VinaEdge

Who we are, and why this site exists.

VinaEdge is dedicated to providing you resources for living, investing, and thriving abroad, with a specific focus on emerging markets and places that often get overlooked by unseasoned travelers and investors. We believe that the best opportunities and lives abroad don't come from treading the beaten path, but from doing things others aren't doing, learning things others aren't learning, and thinking in ways others aren't thinking.

Philosophy

We focus on providing you with information, data, and ideas that will help you live the most fulfilling lives possible. As political and economic uncertainty, high taxes, crime, and social ills continue to plague western nations, we hope this site will help open your mind to see that living a fulfilling life abroad is easier than it seems.

In the process, we focus on helping you pay lower taxes, consider less popular investments, and explore different lifestyles. And we focus on doing this legally. We aren't giving you strategies to hide money, to get insider deals, or to “beat the market.” This site and concept are part of a larger focus of doing things legally, legitimately, and professionally, so you can live as best as you can.

We also focus on regular people who simply aspire to move abroad, minimize taxes, and do something different with their lives. There are tons of websites and services catering to high-income earners, multimillionaires, and serial entrepreneurs. However, for most average people, this is often unrelatable. How many 9-to-5 workers can easily afford a $1 million investment required for Greece's golden visa? Our site is for everyone.

We also strongly encourage conservative investing strategies that will secure your wealth. We advocate indexing and adopting a simple strategy like Bogleheads investing. However, we also recognize that some allocation outside of index can be helpful, and for global investors and expats, it might be a necessity. These strategies work well for your typical household, but for people looking to diversify their banking, residences, passports, and overall portfolio, something needs to be different. That's where we come in.

Inspiration

We have been inspired by living abroad for years and seeing what opportunities are out there. People who don't travel and spend time outside of their country of birth often fail to see how things can be better outside of what they're comfortable in. This is also why they get so upset when things start to go bad. They don't realize there is another way.

We are here to remind you that there is another way. There are many ways. And millions of people around the world are living out these ways. Whether it's an American taking advantage of year-long visa-free travel in Georgia or Albania, a European digital nomad obtaining a remote work visa in Argentina or Uruguay, a young Chinese entrepreneur living in Thailand on a Destination Thailand Visa, or a family of four investing in Panama and relocating under its Friendly Nations Visa, we are here to show you the possibilities.
