Some people believe that to live is to explore as many different places and cultures.

Exploration requires a willingness and ability to experience different places from what you’re accustomed to.

There are plenty of beautiful places like Cape Verde and Seychelles to call home for a year without tax requirements.

Cape Verde

If you’re feeling like living off the coast of Africa for a little while, Cape Verde is the perfect spot for you.

This group of islands only requires people to prove they’ve had at least $1,500 in their bank account for six consistent months.

Since it’s so close to the continent, those using this visa can tour around any country they want.

However, unlike most places, this visa is only good for six months, so make sure to use your time efficiently. Cape Verde is reasonably priced, with the average monthly cost of living being $900.

Seychelles

Spending one year in the Indian Ocean on one of the many Seychelles Islands is what people only dream of.

There’s no official number required to apply, but applicants must prove they can survive on the money they make.

While this number feels very up in the air, as long as you show you’re a responsible person, you’re free to apply and come to live. In Seychelles, expect to pay $2,628 per month in expenses.
