Administrative Questions
Hey everyone, As I said in a previous post, I am going to start full time on May 1st. I've already decided for Tax Purposes, I'm going to establish my residency in South Dakota. I know there are ...

Particularly if coming from a high tax state make sure to cut off as much as possible, your links to your prior state. If you have doctors, bank and other links still in the prior state or you spend a lot of time in your prior state, they may decide you didn't really relocate and will send you a tax bill and it's effectively guilty until proven innocent.
5) Never seen a unisex bathhouse in N. America. On rare occasions, we have found bathroom suites. A row of rooms each with toilet, sink and shower. You also do occasionally see the showers accessed from outside doors with 1 door per shower. Never been much of a concern for us so no idea how to search them out.
7) I won't go so far as to say it's impossible but remote work really works best if you have a skill set and contacts and you just transfer your work from in person to remote. If you are willing to stay in a location for an extended period of time, you can do work camping (usually free campsite in exchange for some work around the campground). Doesn't typically pay well but if you need it to make full timing work....
So the good news is, that I get my care at the VA and "South Dakota" where my new residence would be, does not currently have the program I am in. The closest with the program I'm in is in my home state (MN). However, I am planning on moving around outside of my home state as well. I just have to stay under 30 days. For South Dakota, you can stay one night and change your residency.
The way you described the bathroom and shower facilities is what I was referring to as "Unisex". I simply meant that there is no Gender Sign on the door. You enter from outside and have a single stall. That works for me and those are the kind I'm looking for.
The other thing I could do, to sort of avoid getting stuck in Minnesota is to do some virtual groups and maybe come in once a week. If I park in the Hudson WI area, it won't be more than a couple hours drive either way and I'll get my Travel Pay for that anyway.
I did notice some places are hiring in a work for campsite capacity. I'm totally on board with that, but one of the places I saw required a couple. It's only me and my Dogs and my Service Dog can't exactly do what part of the other role is.
Thank you for your feedback.
The point isn't if SD will accept you as a resident. The point is will MN still claim you as a resident.
If you are still getting regular medical treatment in MN and can only show 1 day in SD, the preponderance of the evidence says, you are still a MN resident.
I don't know if MN would bother you and if your income (and thus tax burden) is low, they likely won't bother you but best to shift as many links as possible to SD.
