Ran into a FO (CDN) based in LAX, he said there was some limits for families living in countries other than HKG/Canada. Is this still the case? Is anyone doing it? Or is it different for every country? I am curious about all bases and all countries. Any info greatly appreciated.

To live in any country other than temporarily you need permission. This can be either a Visa or through immigration to become a citizen. Lots of people do it illegally but if you get caught you're scr*wed!
The USA will deport you and most likely ban you from ever returning. Explain that to CX while you kiss your job goodbye!
