organizations that will offer further insight and enjoyment on topics
such as liberty, freedom, your rights and privacy, current events, modern
times, our political and cultural climate, and the powers that be.
I wish you every success in your quest!
OFFSHORE CITIZENSHIP AND RETIREMENT
OPPORTUNITIES
Presently, there are two Economic Citizenship Programs worth discussing.
Both programs are excellent, providing much needed revenue
for these countries, and in turn, much desired alternative
citizenship opportunities for expatriates who have the money to
spend. This is the quickest way to secure foreign citizenship without
the usual lengthy residency periods required before being able to
apply for citizenship in a foreign country. Here is a closer view of
these two Caribbean island nations.
Dominica
This lush tropical paradise is located between two French islands,
Guadeloupe and Martinique, in the Leeward Islands of the Eastern
Caribbean, and has been an independent nation since 1978. English
is the official language as it was formerly a part of the British empire.
It is a parliamentary democracy and was explored by Christopher
Columbus. The population is approximately 70,000 people, a mix of
Black, mixed Black and European, European, Syrian, and Carib
Amerindian. They have a high literacy rate of 94 percent and very little
crime. The Eastern Caribbean dollar is circulated and is a strong
currency used by many Caribbean countries.
Dominica offers full citizenship for life, complete with their national
passport, which provides for visa-free travel to 90 countries,
without requiring the applicant to make a government-approved investment.
The nonrefundable cash contribution to the government is
the motivation to grant citizenship.
There are two possibilities for obtaining citizenship: the Family
Option and the Single Option. The first plan allows you and your
family to apply together for the single payment of U.S. $100,000. This
includes your children under 18 years of age. Children over this age,
but under 25 years would require an additional U.S. $25,000 each. A
single applicant would pay U.S. $75,000. In addition to these required
fees, there are professional fees and nonrefundable due diligence
fees for each applicant. The processing time is short, only two
to three weeks.
Applicants will be required to visit Dominica to take the Oath
of Citizenship and to attend a personal interview. This is a good
jurisdiction for securing foreign citizenship before relinquishing
your current citizenship, as dual citizenship is permitted and will
not be reported to your government. This is of particular importance
for U.S. citizens, and allows you the window of time you may
need to finalize any unfinished business before renouncing your
present citizenship and deciding the right moment to act.
Reputable local lawyers are officially appointed by the government
to handle applicants for the Economic Citizenship Program.
The process is administered professionally and smoothly, and although
the government has the final word on accepting you as a new
citizen, your chances are excellent for approval.
As a new citizen, you will also benefit from a tax-free status, including
no foreign income tax and no capital gains tax or inheritance
tax. Dominica is also a tax haven.
Applicant document requirements, typical of these programs, include
completion of an application, provision of personal and bank
references, evidence of educational background, a copy of current
travel documents, passport photos, a medical certificate of good
health (including HIV negative), a police certificate showing a clean
record, your birth certificate, and, if applicable, marriage certificate
and/or divorce decree.
Saint Kitts and Nevis
“The Sisters of the Caribbean” are peaceful, tranquil islands, each
adorned with a dormant but scenic volcano and surrounded by sprawling
green sugar cane and banana plantations that meet the azure sea.
Nevis is famous for its natural spas and the “rich and famous” are
known to come here for relaxation and the potential healing properties
of these springs. The islands are notably light on the typical
tourist facilities although they have been “discovered” in the past
decade, and emphasis is on the natural quality of the islands.
Saint Kitts and Nevis are located in the Leeward Islands south of
Anguilla, northwest of Montserrat, and southwest of Antigua and Barbuda.
This constitutional monarchy was explored by Christopher
Columbus and was formerly a part of the United Kingdom, having
gained their independence in 1983. They have a literacy rate of 97
percent and little crime. The 40,000 islanders are predominately
black, with some British, Portuguese, and Lebanese. The official language
is English and the Eastern Caribbean dollar is their currency.
The application for citizenship here covers one family, or a husband,
wife, and two unmarried dependent children. The fee is U.S.
$35,000 for the applicant and an additional U.S. $15,000 per family
member. Additional due diligence and application fees are required,
and the cost varies based on the number of persons who are party to
the application.
Unlike in Dominica, Economic Citizenship Programs in Saint
Kitts and Nevis frequently require a government-approved investment
in the country. In the case of Saint Kitts and Nevis, you will need to invest
a minimum of U.S. $250,000 in real estate; some outstanding developments
are preapproved. This property can be your new home, if
and when you choose to move to the country, or it can be managed as
vacation rental property that will provide you with income.
The application process is similar to Dominica’s, including the required
documentation; a local law firm will handle the procedures.
The time frame is approximately 6 to 12 weeks to complete and be accepted
for citizenship. No personal interview is required so an advance
visit to the country is not required. You will likely want to select
the property yourself, but this can be handled by a local professional
or someone you know acting on your behalf. And, as in Dominica, you
can hold dual citizenship and the Saint Kitts-Nevis government will
not inform your country where you are presently a citizen.
For either of these Economic Citizenship Programs, I recommend
Henley & Partners Inc., with offices in both countries. Refer to “Immigration
Services” in the back of this section.
PROFILES OF RETIREMENT HAVENS AND
FOREIGN RESIDENCY
Remember that Part Four and the Appendix of this book list resources
and information for offshore investors and expatriate services; the
Profiles at the end of Part Three describe tax haven countries. The
wealth of information provided here will complement your search for a
retirement haven or location for temporary or permanent residency.
Also, many of these countries permit a foreigner to own real estate.
The following tourist stay information pertains to U.S. citizens,
together with the maximum length of stay with proper travel documents
acceptable to the visiting country. For travel documents and information
about other requirements including longer stays, call or
visit the country’s U.S. Embassy for more information.
A typical approach to securing permanent residency is to enter a
country on a travel visa, then apply for residency while in the country,
renewing your tourist visa in advance of each time it is about to expire,
until you have satisfied the residency time requirement necessary
to apply for permanent residency.
When seeking permanent residency or citizenship in any foreign
country, it is best and most efficient to engage the services of a local
lawyer with expertise in the area of immigration. In some countries,
especially in places like Latin America, connections can make things
go much smoother and faster.
Always keep in mind the tax consequences of your choices of
countries for living or retiring, just as you would for doing business,
including possible tax treaties that might provide tax relief. You can
obtain IRS Publication 901 U.S. Tax Treaties, which tells whether a
tax treaty exists between the United States and another country offering
a reduced tax rate, or the possibility of a complete exemption
from U.S. taxes for residents of a particular country who are earning
income there. IRS Publication 54, Tax Guide for U.S. Citizens and
Resident Aliens Abroad, tells of tax treaties available to U.S. citizens
and resident aliens with foreign income. You can download the appropriate
publications at www.irs.gov. Other important tax publications
and forms can be found at this web site. A local professional or a U.S.
international tax planner can give you further advice in these areas.
Andorra
Tourist Stay: No limit. Can rent or purchase real estate and stay indefinitely.
An ideal expat haven.
Passport/Residency: The first step to immigrating is to secure a “passive” residence
permit good for four years, which grants certain protections
under the law. It takes 25 years before you can get citizenship.
Taxes: No income tax. A tax haven country. Strict bank secrecy.
Embassy: New York, NY. Telephone: (212) 750-8064.
Web Site: www.andorra.ad
Office of immigration: Andorra la Vella. Telephone: 376 -826222.
Argentina
Tourist Stay: Visa is not required for business; pleasure up to 60 days.
Passport/Residency: After two years of being accepted as an immigrant, you
will qualify for naturalization, and the entire time need not be spent in
the country. Dual citizenship is acceptable. Excellent passport with
visa-free travel to more than 100 countries including the United States,
a good part of Europe, and most Latin American countries.
Taxes: No income tax on foreign source income. Special exemptions on income
tax for authors and publishers.
Embassy: Washington, DC. Telephone: (202) 238-6460.
Web Site: www.embassyofargentina-usa.org
Austria
Tourist Stay: Visa is not required for tourist stay up to 90 days.
Passport/Residency: Citizenship can be obtained, but on a limited basis, and
requires a large government-approved investment of U.S. two million
dollars minimum. However, permanent residency can be secured if you
have a residence in the country and a minimum annual income of U.S.
$25,000. After five years of residency, you can make application for naturalization.
Excellent expat haven.
Taxes: As a permanent resident, you avoid the high taxes that citizens typically
pay. Strict bank secrecy. A T-7 country.
Embassy: Washington, DC. Telephone: (202) 895-6711.
Web Site: www.austria.org
The Bahamas
Tourist Stay: Up to eight months with proof of U.S. citizenship.
Passport/Residency: Instant permanent residency is touted under “The Bahamas
Investment Promotion Program” for three categories of investors:
(1) Individual Investors, (2) Group Investors, (3) Entrepreneurs. Many
of the “rich and famous” today have chosen the Bahamas as their main
or second residence. The minimum investment category starts at U.S.
$150,000 in a government-approved project. A Bahamas resident alien
passport is obtainable for travel.
Taxes: No income taxes. Formerly an excellent tax haven, but presently best
avoided by U.S. citizens for that purpose.
Embassy: Washington, DC. Telephone: (202) 319-2660.
Web Site: www.bahamas.gov.bs
Belize
Tourist Stay: Visa is not required for stay up to 30 days.
Passport/Residency: After living in Belize for one year, you can secure permanent
residency after depositing U.S. $700 with a Belize bank. If you
are over 45 years of age, and have an minimum annual income of U.S.
$24,000, you can qualify for the Qualified Retired Persons Program
(QRP) and receive permanent residency and special tax status.
Taxes: No income tax on foreign source income. Strict bank secrecy. A T-7
tax haven.
Embassy: Washington, DC. Telephone: (202) 332-9636.
Web Site: www.embassyofbelize.org
Bolivia
Tourist Stay: Visa is not required for stay up to 30 days.
Passport/Residency: It is possible to acquire citizenship for a donation with a
government-recognized “benefactor to Bolivia” of U.S. $25,000, maybe
less, without a personal visit. The casualness of the program has drawn
concern. The donor receives an identity card, driver’s license, and certificate
of citizenship, and is entitled to a five-year passport good for
visa-free travel to most of Europe. Another approach is to make an investment
or buy real estate, which will qualify you for permanent residency
leading to naturalization after five years.
Taxes: No special concessions here, but there are tax-free zones exempting
investors from most Bolivian taxes. Not the best expat haven due to
taxes, especially as a new citizen, but citizenship may be useful to
some people anyway, such as those in need of an alternative country
or stepping-stone.
Embassy: Washington, DC. Telephone: (202) 232-4827/28.
Web Site: www.bolivia-usa.org
Brazil
Tourist Stay: Visa is required for stays up to 90 days.
Passport/Residency: You can obtain permanent residency within 60 to 90
days without visiting the country. This gives you the right to enter the
country and receive a national ID card and national banking number,
entitling the holder to stay as long as desired, get a job, or make investments,
the same as citizens. After four years, you will be eligible for naturalization
and the Brazilian passport, with visa-free travel to 130
countries and most of Europe. Dual citizenship is recognized. Expect to
spend approximately U.S. $35,000 in administrative fees. Another option
is to invest a minimum of U.S. $200,000 in the official Economic Investment
Permanent Residence Program. If you marry a Brazilian
citizen, or have a child by one, you are entitled to citizenship in one
year. Brazil is also a backdoor immigration opportunity to Portugal and
the European Union, cutting the time in half to three years.

Taxes: Potential expat country. Taxes are on the high side, but lower than
most developed countries.

Campione (Italy)
Tourist Stay: Visa is not required for tourist or business stay up to 90 days.
Passport/Residency: Located on Lake Lugano in the Swiss canton of Ticino,
Campione is an Italian enclave and is known as the “backdoor to
Switzerland” as it is surrounded by Switzerland and its residents have
certain Swiss entitlements such as Swiss license plates, post office, Swiss
traffic laws, telephone service, and so on. Residents have complete unrestricted
access to Switzerland and Liechtenstein as there are no border
controls, making Campione a very attractive expat and business
haven with easy access to the world’s best banking services. Residency
rights in Campione are attainable by renting or buying a house or apartment.
Real estate is limited and therefore expensive, but in demand,
and is a solid investment.
Taxes: No income taxes and no local taxes. A unique little-known no-tax
haven. Residents are not subject to Swiss double-taxation agreements.
Campione is an attractive tax haven where foreigners can incorporate
a Campione company, use a Swiss address, and avoid high Swiss income
and withholding taxes. This is a good alternative to using a Swiss
company.
Embassy: Washington, DC. Telephone: (202) 328-5500.
Canada
Tourist Stay: Visa is not required. Stay of over 180 days will require a visitor’s
record issued at the port of entry.
Passport/Residency: Canada provides a unique opportunity for Americans
and others to expatriate, and offers several methods for gaining
citizenship. For U.S. citizens, it is the least “foreign” country to our
own culture, making it an easy place to visit or live. Canadians are
generally liked and accepted worldwide unlike their U.S. counterparts,
and a Canadian passport provides the holder with a superior
travel document.
Taxes: Canada is one of the best places to live in the world, and even with
high taxes, certain tax benefits attract Americans and others, which is
why it has the highest immigration rate in the world. Expect personal
income taxes between federal and provincial to be around 50 percent.
Hold on, as a qualified immigrant you become eligible for a complete
moratorium on personal income tax for the f irst f ive years that you reside
in Canada. And, even better, no taxes at all if your income is derived
from an offshore source, non-Canadian trust, or foreign
corporation. This is how to avoid U.S. and Canadian income and capital
gains taxes altogether. This strategy frequently utilizes the “Five-
Year Offshore Immigration Trust.” While living in Canada for the
required three-year minimum as an expatriate before becoming a
Canadian citizen, you can exercise the $80,000 loophole. If you cannot
wait that period, you could acquire citizenship quickly through
Dominica or St. Kitts-Nevis, so you can renounce your U.S. citizenship
before applying to Canada to become a qualified immigrant, thereby
effectively eliminating the U.S. tax liability completely while waiting
to become a Canadian citizen. Furthermore, as a Canadian citizen,
there are no federal estate taxes, making Canada a strategy for wealthy
U.S. citizens to avoid giving away more than half their estate to the IRS
and, instead, giving it to their rightful heirs. There are also no taxes
on worldwide income unlike what U.S. citizens experience. There is
another strategy to extend your benefits. Before the full f ive years of
the immigration trust are completed, you can become a lawful resident
of another country (such as the ones described in this book), for
the tie-breaking sixtieth month, and still be able to visit Canada and
the United States for up to six months. As a resident of a foreign country
instead of Canada or the United States, you are then free of taxes
in both countries. If you maintain this new, but temporary status for
18 months, then repeat the process by returning to Canada to establish
residence, you can begin all over again, creating a new immigration
trust and the start of another f ive-year period of tax-free income.
Canadian immigration should be explored with a legal professional
well versed in the strategy outlined here, but it will be worth the time
and expense.

Chile
Tourist Stay: Visa is not required for stays up to 90 days.
Passport/Residency: With a minimum U.S. $30,000 investment, citizenship
can be obtained after five years of residence.

for investors in commercial enterprises in remote areas, who receive
exemptions from income taxes and other taxes.

Costa Rica
Tourist Stay: Visa is required for stays up to 90 days.
Passport/Residency: There are two types of residency programs: retired persons
who bring in over U.S. $600 a month from an established retirement
plan for at least five years; or, a person with a guaranteed passive
income from a recognized source of at least U.S. $1,000 a month for the
same period. Dual citizenship is acceptable. The new resident is only required
to spend four months of the year in the country.
Taxes: No tax on foreign source income. Local income taxes are lower than
most developed countries. A tax haven country.

Czech Republic
Tourist Stay: Visa is not required for business and tourist stays up to 90 days.
Visa is required for longer stays or if planning to conduct business and
obtain permanent residency.
Passport/Residency: Not the most attractive expatriate haven, but risktaking
entrepreneurs might like the prospects of starting a business
or being self -employed to exploit new opportunities in this country
that struggles to become progressive. As incentives, they offer
foreigners permanent residency with the right to purchase real
estate and a Czech five-year passport with visa-free travel to most
of Europe, but not the United States. After f ive years, residents can
apply for naturalization. That will get you visa-free to your bank in
Switzerland.

Dominica
Tourist Stay: Need proof of citizenship. No visa is required.
Passport/Residency: They have an excellent citizenship program. See the
earlier discussion of Economic Citizenship Programs in this section.
Taxes: A tax haven country, but better for alternative citizenship purposes.
Investment incentives may include a business tax holiday of up to 15
years and unrestricted repatriation of profits.

Dominican Republic
Tourist Stay: Need proof of citizenship.
Passport/Residency: If residency is desired, a resident visa must be applied
for through your nearest Dominican Republic Consulate, and once
granted, you have 60 days to arrive in the Dominican Republic (D.R.),
at which time you must apply for a provisional residency card with the
Immigration Department. The residency card is for one year and renewable
each year. Permanent residency can lead to naturalization in six
months along with a minimum U.S. $50,000 investment in either real estate
or business. Their passport is not the best for travel as a visa is required
to most countries. But, it is a beautiful country.
Taxes: Residents are taxed on their worldwide income at the rate of 25 percent
for income exceeding U.S. $12,000 a year. Although not a tax
haven, D.R. does have special free zones where an offshore company
can operate free of the local 30 percent corporate income tax for up to
20 years. There is also no foreign source tax under this scenario. A privately
owned offshore banking center is planned, a U.S. $850 million
complex, to serve the capital markets for the Caribbean and the Americas,
including an electronic exchange, the Latin American International
Financial Exchange (LAIFEX). The exchange would like to be
the clearinghouse for settlement of the $3 trillion of Caribbean and
Latin American debt that is traded annually around the world. D.R.
could become an attractive financial hub for the region.

Ecuador
Tourist Stay: U.S. citizens do not need a visa for the first 90 days. No limit on
visa stay if you have a minimum monthly income of U.S. $1,000 or can
make a one-time investment of U.S. $15,000. Welcoming to foreign visitors.
Good retirement haven.
Passport/Residency: Permanent residency can be acquired with a governmentapproved
investment of at least U.S. $25,000 for one applicant. Each dependent
requires investing an additional U.S. $5,000. Citizenship and
passport can be obtained after five years of residency. Dual citizenship is
recognized.
Taxes: No income tax on foreign-source income. No provincial, county, or
municipal taxes. No inheritance or gift tax on assets outside Ecuador.
Local income tax is progressive up to 25 percent. No restrictions on
real estate ownership by foreigners.

Guatemala
Tourist Stay: Passport is required for stays up to 90 days.
Passport/Residency: A short two-year residency qualifies you to obtain naturalization.
Two local and reputable sponsors are required to attest to
your good character and standing, so a personal visit is likely in order.
A good lawyer with connections can probably assist, and even speed up
the residency time. Dual citizenship is recognized. At the time of naturalization,
you can even change your name. In most cases, their fiveyear
passport is readily accepted throughout Europe without a visa. As a
Guatemalan citizen and two years of residency in Spain, you could become
naturalized there as well and have dual citizenship even after renouncing
your present citizenship.
Taxes: No foreign-source income tax.

Hong Kong
Tourist Stay: Visa is not required for stays up to 90 days.
Passport/Residency: There is an opportunity to receive a Business Investment
Visa to qualified applicants who intend to start a company that will create
local employment. The BIV is easily obtainable for an international
businessperson or investor who wants to benefit from doing business in
and from Hong Kong.
Taxes: Residents are not taxed on income and profits created from doing
business outside Hong Kong. A T-7 tax haven.

Ireland
Tourist Stay: Visa is not required for stays up to 90 days.
Passport/Residency: There are no investment-for-citizenship opportunities in
Ireland. Citizenship by ancestry is possible. A permanent resident can
become a naturalized citizen after five years. And, a foreign national
can marry a person of Irish birth, and qualify for citizenship after three
years. Creative types such as writers, artists, and actors also receive favorable
treatment.
Taxes: American retirees are obligated to pay Irish taxes at the rate of
26 to 48 percent, but fortunately, you would benefit from the double
taxation agreement with the United States. There are other taxes as
well. Ireland has had some tax incentives, but these will become nonexistent
or passé by 2010 as a result of European Union (EU) pressure.
Once upon a time, Ireland was a tax haven, but has chosen to
divest itself of this status. A retiree could benefit by incorporating an
Irish company to take advantage of various signif icant tax advantages
and engage professional management services to run the operation
while retiring and living the life of landed gentry. For more tax information
with regard to Americans living in Ireland, contact the Irish
Revenue Commissioners, Dublin Castle, Dame Street, Dublin 2. Telephone:

Italy
Tourist Stay: Visa is not required for tourist or business stay up to 90 days.
Passport/Residency: Descendants of Italian nationals are recognized as citizens
regardless of birthplace, and other ethnic Italians can gain citizenship
through lenient procedures. If you are a foreign citizen and
not of Italian origin, a 10 -year residency period is required before naturalization.
Dual citizenship is recognized. Tourist visas are easily renewable
indefinitely if you can show proof of f inancial means. A good
location for offshore investors and financial expats is tax-free Campione,
on Lake Lugano, surrounded by Switzerland. Refer to earlier description.
Taxes: Italy is notorious for its taxes and tax dodgers. Resident foreign nationals
are not taxed on foreign-source income.
Embassy: Washington, DC. Telephone: (202) 328-5500.

Malta
Tourist Stay: Visa is not required for stays up to 90 days.
Passport/Residency: Malta is a favorable expatriate haven and a tax haven.
Permanent residency is granted to foreign nationals who are allowed to
stay or leave at any time, and who bring in the minimum annual income
of U.S. $14,400. Each dependent increases the minimum requirement
by U.S. $2,400. The applicant must also have minimum assets of U.S.
$360,000 outside Malta. As Malta is an EU country, and party to the
RESOURCES—THE BIG PICTURE 251
Schengen Area agreement, permanent residents are entitled to travel
freely throughout those countries. This lovely, sunny Mediterranean
mecca has seen thousands of years of human history and the Maltese
typically speak f luent English.
Taxes: Permanent residents pay a f lat 15 percent income tax on foreignsource
income brought into Malta. There are numerous double taxation
agreements that may be beneficial.

Monaco
Tourist Stay: No visa is required for stays up to 90 days.
Passport/Residency: Money talks in Monte Carlo. Real estate prices make
Monaco an expensive haven, but expats are always welcome. Permanent
residency can be secured if you have a minimum net worth of a half million
greenbacks; with your good name and professional references in
hand, your Monaco lawyer should have you swinging on the Riviera
in no time. Besides the rich and famous, creative types are also drawn
to Monte Carlo. The pivotal point here is the Principality’s relationship
with France. Like Liechtenstein, Monaco has come under attack
from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
(OECD) with accusations of money laundering. Both countries have refused
thus far to concede to outside pressures.
Taxes: No personal income taxes. A tax haven country.
Embassy: New York, NY. Telephone: (212) 759-5227.

for naturalization, whether as a legal resident or not, or three years
if married to a Dutch national.

Panama
Tourist Stay: Visa and tourist card valid for 30 days. Stay can be extended up
to 90 days.
Passport/Residency: An attractive expat or retirement haven. Permanent residency
can be obtained for those with a minimum U.S. $1,000 a month
income from a foreign source, or as an executive with an international
company, and after five years it can lead to naturalization. Good visafree
passport travel to Latin American, North American, and European
countries.
Taxes: Special retirement visas are easy to obtain. No income tax on foreign
source income. Substantial tax incentives for any business in the
tourism trade. A T-7 tax haven country. Staunch refusal to cooperate
with the OECD. Strict bank secrecy. No double taxation agreements or
Tax Information Exchange Agreement (TIEA).
Embassy: Washington, DC. Telephone: (202) 483-1407.
Web Site: http://panama.usembassy.gov/panama-esp
Portugal
Tourist Stay: Visa is not required up to 90 days.
Passport/Residency: A residence permit is a slow process, and may take 12 to
18 months. If you keep a low profile, you’re not likely to be bothered by
officials. Six years’ residency is required, sufficient income to live, and
a government-approved investment of U.S. $100,000 for naturalization
eligibility.
Taxes: The Portuguese, like the United States government, tax worldwide income,
and this applies to residents and aliens alike. There is a doubletaxation
agreement between the two countries, so you won’t be paying
taxes twice.
Embassy: Washington, DC. Telephone: (202) 332-3007.

Saint Kitts and Nevis
Tourist Stay: Proof of citizenship. Visa is not required for stays up to three
months.
Passport/Residency: They have an excellent citizenship program as described

Taxes: A T-7 tax haven. No taxes. Strict bank secrecy.
Embassy: Washington DC. Telephone: (202) 686 -2636.
Switzerland
Tourist Stay: Visa not required for tourism/study stay of less than 90 days.
Passport/Residency: Residency is not easy to obtain unless you start a company
that will create local employment. Twelve years of residency can
lead to naturalization. It worked for international financier Marc
Rich, who had a billion reasons to move, and under the right circumstances,
it could be good for you. In his case, he established a legal
presence and off ice in Zug, which is the most favorable canton for
business, and moved important business records and operations
out of the U.S. government’s reach before they aggressively began
pursing him. Later, thanks to President Clinton, he was exonerated of
all charges against him. An easier resident approach would be to reside
in Italy’s enclave Campione on Lake Lugano, described earlier.
For those who still wish to pursue Swiss residency, consult a Swiss
lawyer.
Taxes: Switzerland is not a tax-free haven, but foreign nationals can avoid
local taxes on certain investments. There are many tax treaties in place
with other nations. Companies and banks are legally obliged to withhold
35 percent tax on interest and dividends earned, which can be offset
by a double-taxation agreement, such as the one with the United
States. It is an excellent money and asset haven with the world’s best
banking facilities, and therefore one of my T-7 tax havens.

Turks and Caicos
Tourist Stay: Tourists can stay up to three months with a passport.
Passport/Residency: A Permanent Residency Program, established in 1996,
offers several ways for expatriates who can invest U.S. $250,000 in a
government-approved investment to be entitled to full-time residence.
The costs vary: self -employed pay around U.S. $50,000, skilled workers
U.S. $30,000, retired persons U.S. $15,000, unskilled workers U.S.
$8,000. There is also Business Residency.
Taxes: No taxes. A tax haven country.
Embassy: Washington, DC. Telephone: (202) 588-7800.

United Kingdom
Tourist Stay: Contact embassy.
Passport/Residency: Certain businesspeople and investors who make a substantial
investment can get permanent residency which is good for four
years and can lead to naturalization. As for retirees, the United Kingdom
is an attractive place to live, and, if you are over age 59 and have a
minimum annual income of 25,000 sterling pounds with “close U.K.
ties,” you can get permanent residency after four years residence, a
stepping-stone to full U.K. citizenship.
Taxes: High taxes, like those in the United States. With recent developments
in the loss of confidentiality in financial matters, and the aggressive
attitude of the English taxman who is going after offshore
depositors and suspected tax dodgers with a vengeance, England
would not be the best jurisdiction for business, investing, and immigration
purposes. As English businesspeople are again exiting the
country, it is unlikely you will want to take them up on becoming a
“business -investor” or “investor” for the sake of eventually becoming a
U.K. citizen. Many are going to Monte Carlo today. London might
make a good business base for certain purposes, and by incorporating
an English company and having a communication facility there, you
could have a f irst-class presence while operating it unprof itably, an extension
of your offshore operation, and letting the real f low of income
and prof its rest elsewhere, namely in a low- or no-tax haven. There is a
special status exemption worth noting: Citizens of certain nations,
and lawyers, writers, and artists from other countries are encouraged
to do business and seek residency without the requirement of investment
and employment.

Uruguay
Tourist Stay: Visa is not required for tourist or business stay up to 90 days.
Passport/Residency: This country has been a good haven for expatriates and
a fairly easy one in which to obtain permanent residency that leads to
naturalization in three years. The permanent residency process takes
approximately 30 days. The Uruguay passport is good throughout countries
that are party to the Mercosur Agreement. Proven financial self -
support is required.
Taxes: No personal income tax. No currency controls. Passive foreign-source
income exempt for foreign nationals. There are tax-free zones for establishing
or relocating a business.

TRAVEL DESTINATIONS
Most countries allow travelers to stay in their country for a short period
as a guest, for business or pleasure, often without the requirement
of a visa. The length of stay varies by country and whether the trip is
for business or pleasure. A typical length of stay is three months, but it
can be as long as six or eight months, or as short as one month.
Besides the appropriate required travel documents, you may need
to produce a return plane ticket, meet health requirements, such as
immunizations, AIDS/HIV testing, and so on, and be able to show
proof of financial support to stay the intended length.
Foreign entry requirements are imposed by each country and
can be readily obtained by contacting the United States Department
of State in Washington, DC, along with embassy contact information.
Their web site is www.travel.state.gov for more information.
A worthwhile guide for frequent travelers is the Travel Information
Manual (TIM) for $35. It gives foreign entry requirements for
all countries. TIM, PO Box 902, NL-2130EA Hoofdorp, Netherlands.
Web site: www.iata.og/tim/index.
Before leaving the United States, double-check the requirements for
re-entry as requirements may change. Contact the National Passport Information
Center at toll free (877) 487-2778 for more information.
All U.S. citizens returning from the Caribbean, Bermuda,
Panama, Canada, Mexico, Central America, or South America will be
required to have a valid U.S. passport or “other secure document” to
re-enter the United States, effective as follows:
_ As of December 31, 2006, this requirement applies to all air and
sea travel to and from these departure points.
_ As of December 31, 2007, this requirement will be extended to
all land border crossings as well as air and sea travel.
The plan is for the preceding to be in full effect by January 1, 2008.
