Gilmore67 Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 I’m from Virginia been hearing South Dakota is best state to claim as resident for full timers only one day to be in state so do you go to a dmv to claim this or a town hall and do you get SD license while u there is this a tax free state. Any information be appreciated thank yall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk W Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 Actually, there is no one state that is best for everyone. Without question the 3 most popular states for fulltimer domicile are Florida, Texas, and South Dakota and you can use any of the three with the Escapees mail service. Before you make that choice there are many issues that you need to examine. If you have employer provided health insurance, will it be valid if your address should change to a different state? If you need to buy health insurance, what state offers the best choices? (SD generally has the fewest and FL the most of the 3) If you have not done so, I strongly suggest that you read The Issue of Domicile before you make your choice.

sandsys Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 Easiest does not necessarily mean best nor does easiest in one area mean other things are easiest. Please, read the link Kirk sent before doing something you might regret.

docj Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 If the OP decides to come to SD to claim residency let me suggest that he open a mail service account in advance of actually coming to the State. You're going to need a paid contract with a mail service in lieu of recent mail items sent to your address in order to get a license. Things will go a lot smoother if he establishes the address in advance.

What are you doing for health insurance? If you're under 65 and have to buy your own, then SD is not the best place.

I agree with that suggestion, but it applies to any chosen state. Quote Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......

hemsteadc Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 I believe Escapees has a lot of information about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
