The countries in red deny their citizens the possibility of 2nd citizenship.
While it's hard to enforce it, if they find out, you can lose the citizenship. Beware of what you are doing.

The same person could be traveling to many or a few places depending on what document you hold.

This is over the top for most and rarely gives much benefit.

China 🇨🇳 has thrived under trade exchange with capitalist nations. It's communist in name and heavily regulated but not actual communist state.
Latin America is the best region to be at every stage of life.
- Young & Single? Latin America by far.
- Family & Kids? LatAm arguably better than Europe.
- Retirement? LatAm arguably better than Europe.
(North America wins in zero categories.)
The perfect country doesn‘t exist but you can build your life with elements from the best.
- US-Credit cards 🇺🇸
- Tax-free residencies 🇵🇾 🇧🇸 🇦🇪
- Swiss franc savings accounts 🇨🇭

Paraguay 🇵🇾 residency + US-LLC 🇺🇸 combo is best suited for tax-free Europeans 🇪🇺 roaming around the world.
Keep in mind to never spend more than 183 days in Europe per year to actually benefit.
Canadians 🇨🇦 - A good visualisation how many days of your year you work for the government.
What is left now is spent on rent and food PM Trudeau helped to inflate…
Thailand 🇹🇭 changed its taxation policy which could become costly if you stay long term there.
Digital Nomads beware, even with the newly introduced visa, avoid staying 183 days or more.

Paraguay 🇵🇾 is good for its tax residency but certainly not the best to get citizenship from.
Much better options in Uruguay 🇺🇾, Argentina 🇦🇷 or even Brazil 🇧🇷 if you specifically seek Mercosur passport.

Italy 🇮🇹 Lump sum makes sense if your annual income exceeds USD 1 million.
You pay a lump sum of USD 100,000 per year no matter how much you earn.
Your effective tax rate would be with each income level:
10% with 1 mio
1% with 10 mio
<1% with anything above 10 mio
You may relocate…
- For tax savings
- For better women
- For better education
- For better lifestyle
- For less wokeness
- For better banking
etc.
There‘s no one-size-fits-it all that‘s why we analyse your situation first.
Why would you relocate? 🤔

Stayed in the end because he really enjoyed the country & lifestyle. He lives there full time.
We do a lot of 🇵🇾 Paraguay tax residencies…
But more and more we are receiving clients that are choosing to stay, to live, to invest in Paraguay
And I understand why.
For some of you Paraguay is exactly what you are looking for.
Citizens of the following countries should be especially cautious when planning their international tax strategy:

The Truth About The Nearly Free, Entirely Remote, 3-Year Path to Armenian🇦🇲 Citizenship
A few months ago,
@Thefirstclass_C

We decided to see
Canada’s lowest tax jurisdiction (Alberta) has a higher tax rate than the United States’ highest tax jurisdiction (California). No matter where top talent lives in Canada, they face a higher tax rate than they would in any U.S. state.
Dylan „Moneybag“ Madden is one of the examples of a First Class Citizen lifestyle.
