You do not need to pay taxes on the first almost 100,000 of foreign earned income. Or 103 k, its a weird amount.

If I am a US citizen and I live in Mexico can I sign up for payoneer? Because right now while I'm living in the US, I cant sign up for it

Yeah that is what I thought too but would you have to pay taxes in Mexico if you physically cam from Mexico?

Thanks for your reply

Does anyone have any experience with how this actually works? Like, do you need a work visa to cam in other countries through a US-based cam site? How do the taxes work? How do you receive payment and do you have to exchange the currency somewhere? Super curious about this!

What cam sited are US based? I thought most of them weren't US based. From what I've heard streamate isn't US based but honestly I'm not so sure where it is based.

I am a Canadian who was living (and camming) abroad. You need to look up the country you are interested in living in and find out if they have a work permit/work visa system, and how to apply. You may very well not qualify. It has nothing to do with the location of the site, it has to do with where the physical work is being done, since you are an independent contractor with any cam site. You would then be required to pay taxes in the country you are camming from, as required by their work visa rules, and also to report foreign income to the IRS (not sure how exactly that works, just know you need to report it to them, don't know if they also make you pay taxes). Please do not try to work without the proper visa/permit, if you do and you get deported, you may find yourself on a "no entry" list for dozens of other countries who won't let you travel there because you were once deported (or ordered to deport) from another country.

TL;DR: Yes you need a work visa.

Do you happen to know if you need a work visa in Mexico?

I think I just answered one of my questions,

"Taxation of income from outside of Mexico earned by a U.S. citizen permanently residing in Mexico is currently not often enforced or followed in many areas of Mexico."


So if you live 330 days outside of the United States and you make under $100,000 for the year you don't need to pay income tax to the IRS. As the quote above states if your income comes from outside of Mexico and if you are a U.S. citizen living there you don't have to pay income tax to Mexico either.

Based on this alone if you are a camgirl living in Mexico you effectively receive a 30%-40% increase in income just by relocating. Of course there are trade offs by choosing to live abroad like getting accustomed to a new place and new culture but if you are adventurous and open minded it seems like your quality of life can increase substantially by relocating.

From what I understand you only need a tourist visa which you have to renew every 6 months by leaving the country (Mexico) and then applying for another visa.

I was born and raised in the US. My hubs, myself, and our pooch moved abroad a few years ago and I've cammed the whole way. I've cammed from 6 different countries so far. I even work when we take extended (or even short) trips to visit other countries. I love living abroad while camming. We recently chose to move to Colombia because the peso is weak against the dollar as oil is their main export and are enjoying a 45% discount due to the current exchange. 18 months ago the peso was 1800:1 and now it's 3200:1! It's like mega-couponing! Lol #LivingLikeAKing

I live in South Africa. The dollar to ZAR is 1:16. We live a pretty good, very chill life over here. You do need a visa to come over here and do stuff, but if you want to just be here for 3 months (90 days) you don't. So its good for taking a break and camming.

Hows the internet services there? My husband and I also do this but across Europe. We dont get the benefit of a good exchange rate however. Recently we have been talking of moving to SA.

The internet is pretty good where we live. Nothing like the states or Europe, but I have a good quality HD stream. We pay about $50USD for 20down/2up. Internet is expensive, as my family in the states pay $40USD for 50down/5up. We are getting fiber optic installed which will bring us to 12up...not sure what the down is and I think it will amount to about $70-80USD/mo

Price doesnt concern me too much! I currently live on a mountain out in the country so I have max 3up, 2 down from radio towers, if its wind outside the net is useless! We also just got 4g but we're limited to 100G a month on that one which can get eatten up really fast by camming! I would love to have something like optic fiber in this area but at this point I would settle for just good old fashion cable internet. You up load speed is way faster then mine I could cam with that no problem! Thank you so much for the information!

So rent is absurdly high where I live, and I still have student loans to pay off which I want to obliterate within 6 months.

I had the "brilliant" idea of staying for 6 months in Thailand, it's easy to get around (walking +metro), rent & living is cheap, caters to business people who need fast, stable internet, perfect plan, right? Except some searching revealed that pornography is illegal there and camgirls have been arrested because of it :/

I looked up pornography laws in different countries, but it's still pretty unclear on camming specific laws, or laws regarding the creation of pornography.

Do you girls know which countries Streamate allows girls to cam from? (I'm assuming it'd be legal to cam from those places, since SM wouldn't want to get in trouble).

Then of course is the whole issue of "Do I need a work visa?" How do non-sex work digital nomads get around this? /:O

Alternately, any recommendations for good bike-able/walkable (don't want to rent a car!) USA cities or towns that are relatively cheap to live with good internet penetration?

I cant help too much with laws in other countries but for the alternate question most college towns are cheap and have good public transport or things within walking distance....think towns that are built around the college not just a town that has a university. When I lived in a college town my rent was $500/mo in a safe complex with like 5 grocery stores within walking distance and there was always something to do
Most college towns have expensive housing if you give it a quick look but if you look past the trendier complexes you can find great deals, I think the complex next to mine was like 900/mo for a 1 bedroom, same neighborhood an access to things...they just had granite countertops and fancy appliances.


As for work visas, a lot of digital nomads get around this by hopping around different countries, In Europe there are different groups of countries you can stay in for a certain amount of time so they hop between countries for certain periods of time, once one period is up they go to another country and wait for the time period to exhaust itself then switch again

if u cosider moving to another country, then i can talk abt mine, Brasil is porn friendly, and escorting is not a crime here. pimping, is though.
sm is ok in brasil and supported. cheaper than usa, great for thse who make money in usd and spend in reais ($1 = R$3.50).

I can't speak to the "other country part", but https://www.walkscore.com/ can tell you a lot about how accessible a city is without a car in the US. (I don't drive so this is something I regularly consider)

^^^that site is awesome, thank you!!

checked my location and it has a walk score of zero. lol, not surprised. only the tourist areas have sidewalks, the rest of us walk in the ditches beside the roads. the locals have cut a lot of walking paths through the bush though, so if you know where to look you can turn a 30 min walk on roads into 5 min 'as the crow flies' walk, that stuff doesn't end up on the internet though. would imagine US city stats would be more accurate. the link you posted is a wicked resource for non-car peeps like us, gracias.

that said, here you can get around the entire island for $2 (I always massively overpay but $2 is the going rate). 'informal' cabs are everywhere here and even with no public trans or decent walkways i find it's easier to get around here than it ever was in downtown toronto (which has a walk score of 100). in smaller, non north-american locations a lot of local resources aren't advertised, or even known about unless you get to know peeps who use em.

so yeah, depending where you end up there can be a lot of 'off the books' informal options for getting around. I never drive here even though I (reluctantly) took some lessons, no need for it. if you move out of the US make sure you get to know local peeps, makes life SO much easier in every way, including getting around without a car.

I'd honestly be concerned about camming from Thailand as it's illegal but I know a lot of peeps do it. and camming is tech illegal in a lot of places so yeah, we're all 'outlaws' to a certain extent. hell, I live in a place where sex toys are illegal. figured my collection would get confiscated by customs when my shipped stuff arrived here, but I guess I hid em pretty well in the boxes }:D

in terms of cam sites, if you're currently in the US and do decide to move abroad, sign up to every site you may want to use down the line before ya leave, and keep your US bank account so funds earned can be deposited there.

If you do decide to pursue Thailand, you can find their Visa req's here:

also found this:

if you scroll down the second reply from 'Arandora' describes how he stays he stays for 5 months there legally.

safe travels if you do decide to bounce from your current locale =)

I live in Colombia and it's very porn friendly if you want to move abroad. I love where I live, it's like the beverly hills of the area...and my rent is only $600USD for a 210sq meter (2260sq ft) apartment. You can only stay a max of 180 days with a visa extension per calendar year, so you could come 180 days before December 31 and effectively stay for a full year. If you want to stay full time, you'd have to file for a residency visa.

I've lived in Panama and Mexico too...although I wasn't camming when I lived in Mexico before, but Panama and Mexico are also porn friendly if you want to give them a go. Panama is expensive though, for what you're getting, and they especially like to rip "gringos" off. Doesn't matter if you're white, blue, or purple, if you speak English, you're a gringo to them and worth charging triple because we can afford it.

I'm about to move back to Mexico and the cost of fiberoptic is cheaper than Medellin, but I haven't put my boots on the ground in Mexico City yet to check out other price comparisons.

that's shitty about Thailand...can't even stream in your own private home? that's ridic

Hubs and I used to live in a college town and we signed a lease for an apartment and got the 1st 6 months for $250/mo!!!! Then it was $600 after that...it was also 650sq ft, 2/2, and came furnished.

Living abroad isn't for the faint of heart. There's lots of legal stuff you have to know and renting apartments and getting bills in your name as a non-resident can be difficult sometimes. Culturally, it can be very isolating sometimes if you go someplace with a different language. AND, if you do decide to leave, I'd suggest doing temporary housing from AirBnB while you find a long-term rental. Internet prices for long-term rentals are always double or triple what you will find in person.

I wanted to move to Mexico and even started a thread here.it all looked promising , Mexico is beautiful, but then I did some serious research and even watched YouTube videos and read between the lines when people shared their experiences there.
In the end decided to stay in USA and move to Las Vegas. Cheap rents in Vegas and USA is the best country in the end for females who do not want to attach self to male as wife or servant or both ( or at least most states are).
Just know that money is not all and some countries even if cheaper can be very dangerous and primitive and you can get in a lot of trouble if you don't know the rules which are often difficult to point out if the country is corrupt.you will have less freedom as a female in some of them.
also you might end up spending more money than u think cause even if rent cheaper things like basics or fast internet cost more. And as us citizen u will still have to pay taxes anyway. ( as far as I know could be wrong on that do if anyone can elaborate)
You can always share a large place with another cam girl in USA and save rent that way.if you want to live alone spend a lot of time looking for a right place and u will.
Anyway is just my pint of view and I am very sensitive and have certain needs and figured all my needs can be met in USA much cheaper than other places and don't really feel like giving up my freedoms as a female and some luxuries just to save a few bucks- am camming also to be happy every day not put away lots of paper for tomorrow. Fuck if there is a place where I cannot walk alone in the evening talking on the phone or with iPod and wearing something nice- then I don't want to live there. And in some countries when u alone female walk around u better watch your back cause females are considered second class citizens in so many. Hate that feeling.
Of course that changes if you have male company boyfriend husband and other males out there see your pussy is spoken for. Otherwise forget the freedoms of walking around alone late at night as female in many countries.
And also what makes you think you simply cannot...make more money.

I live in Spain as an expat but I married an Italian guy so I wouldnt have to move out of Europe. Also cause I love him ;) so I cannot speak too much on the visa but the period your allowed to stay in any European country on a tourist visa is 3 months. Then you have to leave again BUT the thing is if you fly into one country then you can just go to another country by car or train and there is no passport stamping so they dont actually know when your 3 months is up. I would give my left arm to move back to Italy but for right now I live in Spain because its dead warm and dead cheap. Rent isnt as low as S.A. but its pretty good and you can easily find a place that is wired up directly to the water and electricity so there is no bills. (this is illegal but if your renting its not actually your issue) Internet is really good compare to when i moved here 4 years ago. There is fiber optics in the major cities and for the rest there is good internet packages and 4G available. You can move here and then apply for permission to stay longer so you can rent and its super easy but knowing Spanish is critical because most people do not speak English. If you move to the Catalan area the people are very rude, snobby and distrusting of anyone who isnt local. But there are lots of nice people around as well. Travel is easy here. lots of trains and buses and metro lines in the main cities plus good roads and cabs but if you want to drive be sure to get your international drivers licence before you leave US. Porn is allowed here so camming is no issue. But there are a lot of thieves and squatters so you have to have street smarts because in my experience the police wont do a thing to help you. They will just tell you that you have to understand there are a lot of poor people in Spain! Like you should just accept that sometimes when you go out someone will scam you, steal from you or move into you house.

I can speak on life in other EU countries but they are all much colder except maybe Italy but the taxes in Italy are insane! I feel like if you were thinking Thailand then you want some place warmer.

No way would I stream to SM or any camsite while in Thailand. We're going to Malaysia this summer and I looked up the pornography laws and I'm gonna stick to skype shows. On one hand its illegal to possess or distribute but on the other its not illegal to view it? Thats a law from 1998 before internet porn took off. Under that interpretation Im not sure If I can stream from there or not? Its not work risking 5 years in prison.

As for this part: Alternately, any recommendations for good bike-able/walkable (don't want to rent a car!) USA cities or towns that are relatively cheap to live with good internet penetration?

The most bikable cities in the US are also some of the most expensive https://www.walkscore.com/cities-and-neighborhoods/ I would start looking at small beach towns if biking and cheap rates are what you're looking for.

In Australia, it's illegal to produce, own or consume porn that features women with small breasts. I am not kidding. I am not even sure what size is considered small.

Also, in Australia, you can obtain a permanent Visa if you state that you are a woman living somewhere hostile without the aid of a man that can protect you.

Hi there! I'm an online sex worker myself and have been doing webinars on the topic of sex work for the past 8 months. For my upcoming one, I'm looking to involve (and obviously, pay) a sex worker who is originally from USA, Canada, UK or Australia who moved to a different country in order to lower living costs and still continues to work online as a camgirl, phone sex operator, clip producer, etc.

Please send me a PM if this is you and you'd like to be involved in my upcoming webinar as a paid guest. Thank you!

Hi!
I can help with this one because I was just a non-sex work nomad in Thailand for a couple months. They way everyone gets around it is by not announcing you are working. You can talk about " doing emails, , " working on projects " ect., but it's not wise to announce to people you don't know that you are working remotely. There's a lot of people taking about working remotely and putting videos out but in my opinion this is an awful idea.

It's not a good idea to cam there which is unfortunate . There is just so much that is attractive about the place. For that country, it's a better idea to binge work elsewhere and then go on a loooonnngg trip which you'll be able to afford since it's inexpensive ( Bangkok, Koh Phi Phi, Phuket are highest prices, keep time there minimal to expand your budget even further ).

I would simply NOT risk camming there ( even with a VPN ). I would even try to log on to SW and in certain hotels , there was a government warning that came up and blocked SW from the computer !


So rent is absurdly high where I live, and I still have student loans to pay off which I want to obliterate within 6 months.

I had the "brilliant" idea of staying for 6 months in Thailand, it's easy to get around (walking +metro), rent & living is cheap, caters to business people who need fast, stable internet, perfect plan, right?

Just wanted to throw Czech Republic into the discussion. It has a big porn/sex work scene. I cammed there as a side job and am planning to go back. It's very safe, you see women walking around at night by themselves, and most people speak some English. The cost of living in CR is about half the cost of living in the US. (at least in the Southwest, where I'm from)

I will admit something though that didn't quite work on the recent Asia trip :
I did not factor in how much the time difference of being nearly opposite of my customers time would affect my ( vanilla ) sales.

My customer base is US and Canadian ( at least 90% ) and I imagine it's the same for some Cam ladies.
Don't underestimate the time zone handicap ! It WILL affect your sales at least initially while you adjust your customer base.

I am currently looking at some Central American and South American areas. I know they won't be quite as cheap as Asia but anything about half the cost of the USA and a more similar time zone would work out incredibly well for 1-2 month trips.

This is basically my main passion in life right now ( figuring out what areas cost half as much as the USA ).

^^ Actually Im trying to figure this out myself!

I dont really know how to start though. Its all very confusing to try and figure out how much electricity one heater or one light bulb is using!

but I digress..........

^ You may want to run the questions by a lawyer too because I have heard of landlords overcharging foreigners for utilities and also ask your neighboors what the cost should be ect.
As a starting point, make sure the bill is actually FROM the utility company and not the company or person you are renting from.

My customer base is US and Canadian ( at least 90% ) and I imagine it's the same for some Cam ladies.
Don't underestimate the time zone handicap ! It WILL affect your sales at least initially while you adjust your customer base.

I am currently looking at some Central American and South American areas. I know they won't be quite as cheap as Asia but anything about half the cost of the USA and a more similar time zone would work out incredibly well for 1-2 month trips.

This is basically my main passion in life right now ( figuring out what areas cost half as much as the USA ).

That is true. I've seen European camgirls complain about this, as well. Most of my customer base was from the US, and I'd get a giant influx of Skype requests around 2am (local time), when I was half-asleep. lol.

I am headed to Guatemala this year (Aug-Oct), but I do not think I will be able to cam because of the internet speeds. :-(

I've been there. The net wasn't too bad. Try Antigua it's more touristy and they might have better connections.

I'm thinking of moving to Malta next year, but the Brexit situation has me worried. I had contemplated Spain but I've read loads on the stray dog situation there and I'm not sure I could! I'm sure in some areas there are no stray dogs, but I find stuff like that so upsetting. I mean, I even cry when that RSPCA ad comes on! In Malta there are hardly any stray dogs and if one is found, it's usually quickly put in a foster home or in a shelter, but there are stray cats - many of them, there's even a book called Island of cats about the cats of Malta and their carers! There is also a cat village where people donate toys and such and there are feeding stations across the island for them! A developer wanted to remove the cat village to build flats, but public outrage means that it was saved. So yeah, many strays, but very well taken care of. Obviously many of them get neutered, but due to being taken in by expats or being left behind when folk leave the island, many slip through the net. So yeah, being a crazy cat lady, it seems like the best place in Europe for me! I'm just waiting to see what Brexit has in store for the UK. Malta does have ties to the UK beyond being in Europe together so I'm hoping both countries maintain that relationship afterwards.

Off topic but maybe a bit on topic, I truly love reading about the motivation behind wanting to travel. Its a story within a story and no two stories are the same. An international cat lady? Now that's something :)
