I don't think online poker qualifies for that lol.

MarkFsu is right. There is a time limit though I want to say it's 5 years and you have to become a citizen of that country also.

If OP is planning on moving back to the U.S. he will be on the hook for all the income tax.

I think the UK has not tax on poker but I could be wrong there.

Las Vegas has no state income tax if I am not mistaken...

But if you hate supporting your country and their troops by all means dodge your civic duty. It's not like you use the roads or expect the police to come to your aid.

i love this response...............well said

Agreed.. if the government wants 100 percent of my income its for the greater good and I know that they can manage my money better then I can.. plus it goes for giving others a great opportunity to live the American dream.

You must be REALLY bad at managing money imo.

You have got to be kidding me. Roughly 50% of federal income in the US comes from personal income tax. You honestly think that none of that is used in ways that contribute to your individual wellbeing? Way to take ignorance to a new level.

Good times! :) There's definitely a cost of living bonus for living here in Mexico (if you stay away from the tourist areas). Honestly I'm very surprised more online poker players haven't relocated to Latin America. The weather is generally nice in a lot of places, goods are cheap, the people are generally pleasant, etc. I've lived here in Mexico City for the past 12 years (population ~20 million) and have never had a major issue.

Would be cool if you wrote up a nice long article on this. I'm sure a lot of people here, including myself, would love to read about it.
