Pakistani Punjab city 200km northwest of Lahore — agricultural-economy anchor (the Sargodha citrus belt produces the country's famous kinnow tangerines) and home to PAF Base Mushaf (one of the largest Pakistan Air Force installations). The University of Sargodha and the Cantonment area anchor the established cores. Pakistan has no DNV; e-Tourist visa or visa-on-arrival for compatible passports. The structural draws are genuinely-cheap pricing (among the lowest-cost Pakistani cities), agricultural-economy stability, and proximity to the Salt Range mountains. Long-stay infrastructure is thin; western expat presence is minimal.

Pakistan has no DNV. e-Tourist visa (30-90 days, extendable) is the standard route. Some passports get visa-on-arrival; verify before traveling. Security advisories shift frequently.

Editorial estimates. Not financial advice. The 4% rule is a planning anchor, not a guarantee — sequence-of-returns risk and tax-jurisdiction friction (US-LLC / FEIE / state residency) can move the real number meaningfully. See our expat tax directory for the cross-border side of the math.
