But, getting residency in another country and, perhaps, citizenship is not as simple as just buying a plane ticket and setting an itinerary.

This is because there are many processes that may take a few years to accomplish at times. The more people who are considering these options, the more difficult these choices become. It is therefore crucial to identify the legal, financial, and cultural implications that arise in order to ensure a smooth transition to a new home overseas before embarking on this journey.

Without a proper plan and some professional advice, it can be quite a challenge to switch gears and retire during your tenure at Teradyne.

The impact of potential tax advantages when retiring abroad will definitely affect your financial position. Many countries, including the United States, have tax treaties that prevent income from being taxed twice. For instance, pensioners are attracted to Portugal by the Non-Habitual Resident (NHR) regime that offers special tax concessions for up to 10 years.

You can enhance your retirement benefits by taking advantage of these perks and seeking the advice of a tax specialist. The IRS notes that because these treaties can be very different it is important to research and seek the advice of a professional (IRS, 2023). These advantages must be used by Teradyne employees to enhance their retirement.

Expatriating and retiring is a process of planning a long and beautiful road trip. Just as you would not travel without a map, a well-maintained car, and knowledge of your location, Teradyne employees who are retiring abroad need to plan carefully.
