Many countries have a minimum salary limit which qualifies you (and potentially your family) to live there. For example, last I looked into it several years ago, Spain's minimum salary for a remote working visa was USD $36,000.

That's awesome. Didn't know that was even a thing.

Spain is the country I wanted to move to anyway, which Brexit destroyed my hopes of.

For anyone else that finds this potentially interesting, this seems useful:

That's really cool. Do you have to pay income taxes in Spain if you do that?

Yes, I would think so.

The US is the only country I know of that demands income taxes from its citizens when they are non-resident. Citizens of most countries would expect to pay local income taxes only when they emigrate.

Although it is important to remember that any tax one would have to pay to US IRS is for the difference between what a foreign country and US would charge, if former charged less. This only applies to countries with which US signed a treaty for the avoidance of double taxation.
