They bully for politics. The countries just move thier CBI programs to "unoffical". Once you look into it...its simply amazing how many countries you can obtain an Unoffical CBI passport or residence visa. Eastern Europe, Middle East, Central Asia.
Antigua & Barbuda is really $130,000 when you include the government fee. Nevertheless, it's a good deal for families because for that price you can have up to 4 total family members. The others charge extra for a spouse and children.
I think Antigua and Barbuda has the best programme overall, their passport have one of the best accesses and is also the most developed island out of all five. However, if your willing to spend some time on the ground I would say Portugal has the best programme
Antigua requires you to visit the country every 5 years. That might be a problem the next time global lockdowns start. Or for older people who can't travel
Two points: The European Commission has appointed a committee to study those various programs. It will take time before recommendation are made. Then consolations will start with the Non-EU partners in Schengen-land such as Switzerland, Norway, and Iceland. Things could start happening in the middle of next year as decisions require consensus.. The second point is that holders of strong passports such as The US, Canada, The UK, or Australia can't care less whether St. Kitts or Antigua, for that matter, lose visa free access to Schengen-land because they can use their strong passports for visa-free traveling.. They get a St. Kitts passport in order to avoid corporate and personal income tax, but itrequires establishing residency for tax purposes. .
Your second point is inaccurate Passport has nothing to do with tax so people generally aren't buying the citizenship for tax purposes but rather back up purposes so yes they do care as do people from places like India looking for better access
I love these videos. I don't need to go anywhere right now, but am I'm looking at what to do in 15 years or less as I might not be able to take care of myself anymore. End of life care sort of thing in an environment where people are generally nice. I saw a great retirement home in Thailand where it seems the carers treated the people with respect. Was thinking about India also.
@@OffshoreCitizen I've been vegetarian for about 40 years and think it would be good to be in a place where the carers are vegetarian also, lot's in India. I would think they have homes set up for such elderly people given there are so many of them.
We made one a while ago. Have you checked it out? Unfortunately, the passport is not as attractive anymore as there's no access to the EU. What do you think is the biggest advantage of their passport?
When you pay and get 2nd passport of st Lucia and EU closes the entry then you will lose all money right?? Or those who got earlier the new rules of EU will not applied to them.??
Certainly, I won't choose Saint Lucia because it does not offer inheritance to the third generation and the fees for adding a newborn are extremely high.
@@OffshoreCitizen Yes: Places with citizenship options: that are less likely to be involved with this war(s) that are not locking down that are forgotten about but have good internet
Thank you for the content. Im from Norway and I would personally look for a second citizenship for the purpose of escaping tax burden. What solution would you recommend for that?
Appreciate your videos, but with connections to the area, locals appreciate passports for sale as much as other countries which are the ultimate destinations for some of these economic refugees. The sooner its closed with a 3000-digit combination the better
Looking forward to your video on Thailand's new tax rules for crypto income. 🎉 I may move to Malaysia instead (and the Thai gov will lose sooo much foreign investment money, since so many crypto millionaires and billionaires will leave the country). Great if your video separates between crypto trading vs crypto holding incomes for expats in Thailand. And HOW they per definition separate between trading and holding for selling in the bull run 2025. Some holders sell and buy on a monthly basis, "hopefully" that is not defined as trading... Also, a loophole is if you never stay more than a month or so in Thailand, and only do short term or tourist visas?
@@OffshoreCitizen It’s crazy, not only foreign residents will have to pay taxes in Thailand, but the price of the Elite visas has gone through the roof, Thailand is off the list (I feel bad for all those people that bought a 10-20 year Elite Visa thinking they were going to live tax free in Thailand.)
Disappointed in the bullying with CBI programs. Hope one stands up to them.
Unfortunately doing so might mean weakening the passport but we'll see

How they will stand up against EU? 😂 They will loosen access and everybody who has the passport

Downside is you have to figure in the cost of making the in person visit that is only required by this program.
Antigua requires you to visit the country every 5 years. That might be a problem the next time global lockdowns start. Or for older people who can't travel
@@HyperspaceHoliday
I think you only have to visit the country for 5 days in the first 5 years. Nothing beyond that.

What makes you interested in India?

@@JohnDoe-cf8jz India's good too, cheap as well as welcoming people..
who told you you've got 15 years. T minus 1 or 2, max 6 or 7.
Prices of everything are sky high. No doubt, the WEF gunning for control.
You should make a video on Vanuatu’s bond program since there’s no donation and little opportunity cost.
We made one a while ago. Have you checked it out?
Unfortunately, the passport is not as attractive anymore as there's no access to the EU.

Good hint, thanks. Having at least a second passport is already a solution to be free from the measures of your home country.

What program do you find the most attractive?
Thank you for the update video. I send you some Tums.
A pleasure!

What is a “donation”? An investment? Or just paying for a passport, in which case isn’t it just a fee?
A donation is not an investment

I think this make St Kitts far less competitive. If they had a good business environment like Bahamas it would be worth the price.
What do you think contributes to a good business environment in Bahamas?
@@OffshoreCitizen their crypto friendly environment, minimal regulations and low taxation system.

What are the rules for crypto trading in Malaysia?
Any updates on the new Thailand tax rules?
Is it possible to get the St. Lucia in the 3 weeks left?

And to think these were 50% discounted during Covid.... wtf.
Your Microphone can be closer ` little slow plz ...
CBI I think is a waste of money. Even more now, because not only are they losing EU access, but now also raising their prices.
What do you think would be some better alternatives?
Greece and Mexico
Please make a video about the news of Thailand starting to tax foreign income as of January 1st 2024
Stay tuned :)
What do you think of the changes?
