Moving Outside EU, but where?

Belize was good enough for John McAfee......until it wasn't.
Like many of those places, even if you plan to stay there long term, keep most of your banking and assets outside, just in case.
You never know which neighbors you get, and what connections they have.
Definitly keep the money outside. The Belizian dollar is worthless ouztside of Belize. Pegged 2:1 to USD. A black market exists that trades cash against USD and MXN at lower rates.
The local banks do not have USD accounts. There are some "offshore banks" licensed to carry USD accounts within the country. These are also to avoid. See prominent insolvencies of Choice Bank and Atlantic Bank. If I would have to pick one I would go with Ashcroft's Belize Bank International.
 
You can move to Philippines with a permanent residency.

Requirements:

1) Open a bank account in the Philippines and deposit at least 75.000 USD (you will get that money back when leaving the country)
2) Clean criminal records in your country of citizenship (unless you lived abroad for the last 5 years)
3) Legit source of income
4) Not being a citizen of a country sanctioned by the Philippines

Pure Territorial taxation (like Panama or Paraguay), you need to stay 180 days per year to maintain the residency.

Honestly it ain't that bad as a country to live in, people are welcoming and you can keep most of your money abroad anyway.
