I have a slightly above average US income which I can work remotely from paired with a $1000 a month income stream and more than enough to purchase a middle end Flat in Ukraine. Does anyone with knowledge of this process have any advice to acquire a reliable way to stay in the country?
I don't, but I'm also not sure if it would be the best idea to buy a flat in a country like Ukraine in the middle of a pandemic or even post-pandemic. You never know what will happen with the country, let alone the price of houses.
My suggestion would be to live there for a while and really get to know the country and at least the city you intend on investing in, and then make a decision. I won't be surprised if the prices of flats drop further.
By the way, feel free to post your question on the digitalnomad subreddit as you are likely to get more responses there.
Hey everyone,
Thinking about spending some time in Odessa, Ukraine. Not sure if the current political climate is open to US tourists. I have seen on basic immigration sites that at 90 day stint is allowable, but I have friends who have been denied from going to Crimea (which seems to be more linked to the current conflict). Not sure if it is worth buying a flight. If anyone has input l greatly appreciate it.

@JasonMM, if you are a U.S. citizen, you do not need to have a Ukrainian visa as long as you will be in Ukraine for fewer than 90 days within a 180-day period. You need a visa or valid Ukrainian residency permit for all stays longer than 90 days.
Sure, at this time you can’t go to Crimea because of conflict with Russia, but happily, Odessa isn’t in the Crimean Peninsula and you can visit Odessa without any fears and doubts 
Also, I recommend you visit Kyiv and Lviv if you’ll have enough time

Based on Krivoy-Rog's cost of living, here's selected remote jobs that would cover your costs:
It's a nice city on the whole. In summertime you get a lot of tourists from Ukraine, and also other countries. The cost of living is reasonable, a standard meal in a decent restaurant will cost you about 200uah. Internet is fast and good quality, currently you can get a 4g data sim with unlimited data from Kievstar for 100uah for a month. Accommodation can be hard to come by and expensive during the summer months. It's largely safe, but Odessa is historically a criminal city, but most of that cr

This means you'll be drinking their lousy coffee at all times, and after a week or so the city is slightly depressing to be honest. However, there are nice affordable Soviet-style cantines all around the city, so you can eat well for less than US$3. Hostels are also OK.
