Optimise taxes with a second citizenship

Countries with low tax rates and beneficial tax regimes for individuals and companies

0% Minimum income tax rate
$100,000+ Investments in a second passport
2+ months Time frame for obtaining citizenship

A second citizenship or residence permit allows the holder to become a tax resident of another country or register a business abroad. This way, the investor can reduce the annual tax amount they and their company pay.

Participation in an investment program is an easy way to get a passport or a residence permit. An investor does not need to look for a job, take exams or live in the country for a long time to obtain status. In most cases, permanent residence is not required. If the investor changes their mind about becoming a tax resident, they can leave the country anytime by retaining other benefits.
