People assume location independence fails on visas, money, or picking the wrong country. It usually doesn't. Plenty of people get all three right, arrive with income portable and banking sorted, and find the thing has quietly come apart six months later. This post argues the failure sits in the one pillar that produces no document, no confirmation, nothing you can point at, which is exactly why it gets skipped. It ends with three tests you can run without leaving home, because the alternative is running them in month two of a move you've already paid for.
