Georgia has a territorial tax system — foreign income often tax-free

Spoke to a Georgian accountant (found on Tbilisi Digital Nomads Facebook group) who confirmed that as a virtual zone company or remote worker, foreign-sourced income is typically not taxed in Georgia. Get proper advice before assuming this applies to you.

Magti gives you the best price on data

On Magti 30GB for 15 GEL/month — that's about $5.50. Top up at any Magti shop, convenience store, or via the Magti app. Coverage is excellent within Tbilisi and on the main highways.

Metro is 5 pesos and covers the whole city

Mexico City metro costs 5 MXN per ride — about 25 cents. Fast and extensive. Avoid rush hour (7-9am, 6-8pm) — extremely crowded. First car of each train is women-only at all times.

Colonias to target: Roma Norte, Condesa, Juárez, Narvarte

I toured 8 apartments before choosing Juárez — walkable, safe, close to metro, and €600-900 USD/month range. Avoid Santa Fe unless you work there. Polanco is beautiful but expensive and car-dependent.

Public Mobile is the best value prepaid on Telus network

Got Public Mobile online before landing — SIM delivered to my Airbnb. 50GB for $34/month on Telus network. No contract, auto-pay discount included. Far better value than Rogers or Bell direct.

Idealista is the main platform — act fast, flats go in hours

Found my 1-bed in Príncipe Real through Idealista. Listed at €1,100 and gone in 4 hours. Set up email alerts and respond within the hour. Landlords expect 2 months deposit plus first month upfront.
