The legal formula for the digital nomad by MikeGreo
Hi there, For those of us that wants to maximize their earnings by both saving on tax and bringing in the travel life, what is the best way that has been found by the digital nomads? I know there must be digital nomads that have figured it ...
I have also considered Romania. I am considering a lot of things. I am taking baby steps. This won't even happen this year. Might happen even a few years later. But at least I have something aim to. I would be willing to quit my job or find ... Read More

I don't think it is delusional. Worst case if all else fails I move permanently to Dubai and just live there working remotely. Also 6 months is hardly short-term if I go between 2 places. I have already checked those rents. Read More

Thanks for your response Beppi. I would say since I've pretty much hit rock bottom in the UK, anything is better than here. I think happiness does correlate how much one is able to travel. Travelling I always feel happiness. Misery can also ... Read More

I am thinking probably a good way might be like this: Cayman Islands (3 months) + United Arab Emirates (6 months) + Bulgaria/Malta/Cyprus/Barbados/Bermuda/Montenegro/Georgia/Spain/Italy/France/ (3 months) = 1 year Cayman Islands requires the ... Read More

I don't see why it is pointless. If there is a way to do things legally, what is the problem to find out what that is? The truth is I want to hit 2 birds with one stone. I've been working like an ant and paying taxes in London UK for too ... Read More

Thanks for the response. Like you said most countries, but which countries don't charge on world income? Also I know it is few places that have the 3 month or 6 months rule, so what I am trying to find out is, which ones they are. Also, I ... Read More

I simply say 3 months and five days, because that is what completes a year. It is simple. What if you wanted to live in 3 different countries. One will be the country that you are tax resident in. So if a person becomes tax resident in Cayman ... Read More
Moving to Malta, what tax would I have to pay as non-dom? by MikeGreo
Hi, I've read that the taxes in Malta are very good, so I am confused when it mentions taxes go anywhere from 15% to 35%, which is not too different to other countries. I also read that a person can apply as a non-domiciled EU citizen. This ...
Wait a minute, did I misunderstand or do you mean to say that you can remite upto 35000 euros before being taxed? Because if that is the case, what if a person has a worldwide income from foreign sources at 80000 euros and are only remitting 30000 ... Read More
Do you need a work permit in an tax free country? by MikeGreo
Might be a stupid question, but does one need a work permit in a tax free country?
As I mentioned regarding the health system, there is always private options. The health system in the UK for example has become utter shambles, not even worth the tax payers money anymore. You ask to see the doctor and you wait 9 months or when you ... Read More

Thanks for the response. I don't agree with this idea of "their fair share to the hosting society, also morally dubious". I've lived in the UK and been paying taxes and, I don't know what benefits you talking about. A person ... Read More

Might be a stupid question, but does one need a work permit in a tax free country?
Well I was thinking remote working for a foreign(non-Colombian) company. But if being physically present in Colombia makes the income Colombian source, then in terms of taxes its not going to be good. Read More

I am interested in any country/countries which would allow a digital nomadic lifestyle and maximize the possibilities of living tax free or in a low tax country. Ideally becoming tax residence in a country like Cayman Islands, Bermuda, Barbados etc. ... Read More

But the whole point of this is to live in Malta for at least 3-6 months. I will have to withdraw money from ATM for sure to survive. Also, home country might become Cayman Islands. They have double taxation agreements? Read More

Remote working for a UK company and living in Cyprus by MikeGreo
Hi, I've been weighing my options lately. There are a few concerns tax wise. If I am working for a UK company remotely from Cyprus and given that I spend 90 days outside of Cyprus in the tax year, would I need to pay any taxes(income tax or ...
What I was thinking was if I lived in Cyprus for 9 months and 3 months in another country than my salary will be free for the whole tax year? This is what I am confused about. "If you are employed abroad for over 90 days a year, your entire ... Read More

Hi Toon, thanks for your reply. From what I've read there is a 90 day rule. "If you are employed abroad for over 90 days a year, your entire salary may be free of Cyprus taxes. This applies if your employer is not tax resident and does ... Read More

Global Citizen Concierge Program vs Normal Route by MikeGreo
Hi, Being someone living in the gloomy weather of Britain and I often wonder how wonderful it would be to move to the Cayman Islands. But that is not the only reason, the taxes in the UK are really high. So my hope is to one day get a job in the ...
Yeah, I don't know why I said Canary :-) All this is just so confusing. There would be no point going to Cayman Island, if I am still paying UK taxes. I still think even with the import duties, that overall money saved would be greater for a ... Read More
