Investing while abroad – ISA, GIA & pensions?
Hi all, I’ve just learned that once you’re non-UK tax resident you can’t contribute to a UK ISA. So just checking my understanding: - Would investing via a GIA (stocks & shares / ETFs) be the standard approach while living abroad? - If living in a country like Thailand, is it correct that foreign capital gains aren’t taxed, and foreign income has historically only been taxed if remitted (rules evolving)? - If I later return to the UK, would CGT apply only to gains realised after becoming UK tax resident again? - Finally, can you contribute to a SIPP while abroad, or do you just leave existing UK pensions invested? Thanks in advance šŸ™

Once you're non-UK tax resident you can't contribute but you can keep existing ISAs open and invested. General Investment Account is the standard route for non-residents. Thailand announced plans to tax foreign income the implementation and enforcement of this is still... evolving. Worth keeping an eye on, especially if you're remitting large sums. Also check out the workshop we did on international taxes here: https://www.skool.com/nomad-school/classroom/67ba616a?md=ece8541629094bc6bb4b0479867afe63 You'd only pay UK CGT on gains realised after becoming UK tax resident again.
Random Info Charts
I like charts. Just sharing some random info I came across.

Bro I got a bit of an obsession with charts too 🤣 Here are a couple I was looking at recently: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/average-iq-by-country Not related to being a digital nomad but here are a couple of mad videos about the second world war I found recently: The Fallen of World War II: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwKPFT-RioU&t=635s World War II Every Day with Army Sizes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CqGeAmVu1I Absolutely insane to see how "uninvolved" the "West" was in the second world war.

What's one thing you saw in the workshop that you're gonna try?
Starting from zero every month is hell 😩
This week I introduced you to @Jerry Keszka... And told you a bit about what he's done over the past 18 months on Substack. Two short posts per week. One long post per week. Simple enough. And he now has a consistent and reliable monthly income. But here's what I didn't explain... Why that system works. Most people trying to make money online are trading time for money. You do a project. You get paid. Then it's over. Next month you start from zero. If you're in this boat then trust me, I can relate. I did this for years and it was utter fucking hell. Jerry however... Is doing something completely different. He's building assets. Every post he publishes works for him forever. Someone discovers it six months later? They read his archive. They subscribe. They pay. He didn't have to do any extra work for that sale. That's the difference. When you build an asset instead of chasing clients... You're not starting over every single month. The work compounds. And the floor keeps rising. Now... I've spoken to Jerry... And what we've decided to do is open up the workshop that we did last year. So starting Monday... Everyone in this community can go watch it for free. Drop a šŸ™Œ below if you're excited to go check it out.

Do you have the discipline to stick to one thing in 2026?
I have a massive advantage running this community. I don’t have to guess what's working. Instead, I get to meet real people. I look at behaviour. I look at follow-through. And I look at outcomes. I see who succeeds. I see who gives up. And I see exactly why. Over the past year, these is one pattern that has stood out to me. It isn’t flashy. It isn’t a hack. Yet... It's by far the single biggest thing that separates those who are living abroad from those who are not. CONSISTENCY. When I ask someone what they’re working on... I’d say a good 50% of people either... a) Cannot give me a straight answer. Or... b) They're working on anything and everything. Now look... If you need an extra $500 or $1,000 a month so you can move somewhere like Thailand this year… Then you don’t need to focus on ten different things. What you need is accountability. What you need is structure. The winners in this group are NOT working 40-hour weeks. They are not chasing AI or the latest tech. They’re putting in one to two focused hours per day. They’re working on ONE thing. And they’re letting that consistency compound. That’s it. Do you have the discipline to stick to one thing in 2026? If so type COMMITMENT in the comments šŸ‘‡

@Adriana Lockey interesting take. Letting go is its own form of discipline. Especially when it comes to perfection or trying to control outcomes.

@Duncan O'Neill nobody has a crystal ball. At some point, you've got to take a punt. Anyone who's achieved any level of success will tell you they failed nine times to get one result. It's really about the consistency of trying. If you never try, then you're guaranteed to never get a result. The only way is to try and stick with something long enough to see.
