Taxed on money you haven’t made. On assets you haven’t sold. And if the value drops after you’ve paid — tough luck.

This is why people are building a Plan B 🌎

[My Latin Life 🌴 @MyLatinLife]

If you are from the Netherlands, you 100% absolutely definitely positively NEED legal residency and a base in Latin America

Most property investors are focused on yield.

The smart ones are focused on what comes with it.

$400k in Turkish real estate:

→ 6–8% rental yield

→ Full family citizenship, permanently

→ Sell after 3 years, keep the passport

→ Zero tax on worldwide income for 20 years

The yield is the bonus. The passport is the prize.

[The Passport Guy @Thepassportguy]

Invest $400k in Turkish property.
Earn 6–8% rental yields.

Get citizenship for your whole family — permanently.

Sell after 3 years. Keep the passport forever.

Oh, and zero tax on worldwide income for 20 years.

Turkey is the most underrated CBI program on the market right now.

St Lucia just broke the golden rule of second passports: they published the names of recent applicants.

Transparency is great, but high-net-worth individuals buy passports for privacy and protection. They don’t want to be on a public list.

Massive misstep. This will backfire.

@AndreSo14746035 @TheRoyalSerf I applied and got my cpf online wast a big deal and recently renewed my residency it took two hours and they gave me a new temporary id straight away

@daniell38160896 @TheRoyalSerf Lived Rio, São Paulo and Flóripa all have good parts and bad parts but I do appreciate I stay in the more affluent areas and that does make a difference

[The Passport Guy @Thepassportguy]

@luisomor Because it’s become ridiculously expensive in Europe 🙈

[The Passport Guy @Thepassportguy]

@MyLatinLife Absolutely agree with the less tax and more fun angle 😅

@kelvmackenzie I’m sure I remember when you were editor of the Sun you did a countdown featuring Sam Fox topless when she turned 16. The headline was “Sam, 16, Quits A-Levels for Ooh-Levels.”

Samir Nasri claimed Dubai tax residency.

France just handed him a €5.5M tax bill.

The evidence? 212 Deliveroo orders delivered to him in Paris. In one year.

This is why I teach the “Toothbrush Rule.”

Where is your toothbrush? Where do you sleep? Where do you buy groceries?

You can’t just declare a new tax residency. You have to actually live the structure.

If you don’t ask where your toothbrush is, a tax officer will.

[The Passport Guy @Thepassportguy]

Boraaa Brazil 🇧🇷

[The Passport Guy @Thepassportguy]

This is exactly why simply declaring yourself a tax resident somewhere is not enough. Tax authorities are not naive — they follow the data, and 212 Deliveroo orders in Paris is a very expensive takeaway habit.

In the UK I advise clients on what I call the toothbrush rule. HMRC does not just look at where your passport is registered — they look at where your toothbrush is. Where do you sleep? Where is your gym membership? Where do your kids go to school? Where do you order your food?

A proper Plan B structure is not a declaration. It is a life that is genuinely built around your new residency — with the paper trail, the substance, and the physical presence to back it up.

Get the structure right and it is completely legal. Get it wrong and the tax authority will find the Deliveroo orders.

I ran a technology company in Ireland for 12 years. I know the country well.

Ireland has always been happy to attract foreign capital when it suits them — low corporation tax, IDA incentives, the whole package. But the moment the political wind changes, they move fast to close doors.

Cutting visa-free access for Saint Kitts and Saint Lucia passport holders is exactly that. These are FATF-compliant programmes with rigorous due diligence — far more robust than Ireland’s own investor visa history. This is not a security decision. It is politics. @imidaily

He’s right about the Dom Dom rules. But a thousand high net worth individuals leaving the UK every month?

It’s way more than that.

The biggest thing I hear from UK clients right now? They are done paying 40% of everything they earn in tax.

Thousands are looking at a Plan B. Legally.

One of the things nobody tells you about living internationally: residencies expire.

Today I’m at the immigration office in Brazil — inside a shopping mall, which is very Brazilian — renewing my residency.

Paperwork. Fingerprints. A couple of hours.

But a Brazilian residency is one of the most valuable assets in a proper international structure. Tax base outside the UK or US. Foundation for a second citizenship. Access to one of the fastest-growing economies in South America.
