5 Relocation Money-Saving Hacks

• 1

  Ditch the city center: Rent decreases by up to 29% outside center neighborhoods.

• 2

  Buy monthly transit passes: Single transport passes are inefficient. A monthly card saves up to 40% on commuting costs.

• 3

  Shop at neighborhood fresh markets: Local grocery chains are heavily marked up compared to local fruit and market stalls.

• 4

  Leverage Digital Nomad visas: If working remotely, apply for dedicated nomad visas to reduce high domestic income tax tiers.

• 5

  Secure private health insurance: Avoid long queues at public centers by having standard local HMO memberships.
