Ryan, great points!

The article is definitely written from the perspective of “living grey” — though of course the goal is to go legit and get all the necessary paperwork.

Another big part is to check visa requirements of the country you are going to. A ton of countries will give you an automatic temporary 3 month visa if you have a US passport, which you can renew by just going in and out of the country again. For anything longer there are other visas you’ll need to apply for and do some research on.

If you are staying anywhere for more than a month or two, you are probably going to rent a place to live. In that case you will definitely need to do some research and most likely have an actual visa to present to the landlord (not temporary).
