Case Studies

I worked in a family business for nearly 10 years. This experience taught me a lot about managing and growing companies. However, I wanted to move on and build something of my own.That’s when I decided to open a company in Europe—specifically, Hungary.Thanks to Immigrant Invest, setting up a company and obtaining a Hungarian business visa was quick and straightforward.

I always thought Thailand’s 35% income tax rate was too high. When I was invited to train in Spain and offered a work permit, I hoped to decrease my taxes. Spain’s 28% tax rate was lower but still pretty high.Then, I discovered Malta, where the tax rate is just 15% for residents by investment. That settled it—I chose Malta over Spain.I contacted Immigrant Invest, and they immediately began working on my case. Six months later, I became a Maltese resident, paying half the taxes I used to.

A few years ago, I realised Azerbaijan was too small for my ambitions and my company’s growth.Seeking more business opportunities, I set my sights on the United States, attracted by its vast market and stable economy. However, while exploring legal ways to live in the US, I discovered it could take up to 10 years to obtain a residence permit there. Not ideal, to say the least! While waiting, my wife and I applied for residency in another country. Not wanting to deal with complex immigration processes again, I turned to Immigrant Invest. With their help, we secured residence permits in Portugal nearly 10 times faster than in the US.

If you ask us, taxes in the UK are way too high, especially for retirees, with a rate of 20%. In contrast, Cyprus offers a flat rate of 5%. Quite a difference, isn’t it?When we discovered this, we couldn’t resist the opportunity to not only move to a warm country but also to reduce our tax burden.Immigrant Invest supported us throughout the entire process of acquiring Cypriot permanent residence, from selecting our investment destination to moving to Cyprus seven months later.
