@cryptochronicless Ай бұрын

Can you explain more about the tax implications for each country's golden visa program? It would be helpful to understand how taxes work if I decide to move forward with one of these options. Different question: do you know the Asset Avenue project? I love it because they specialize in Real Estate.

Right now Portuguese Golden Visas are *not* being issued in 6-9 months. Two or three years is more like it. Given the new law counting residency from application rather than issuance, it's just as well. In fact it's better, since it means the expensive GV will have to be renewed one less time before citizenship.

Spain's 2 year fast track applies to Mexicans, Chileans, Argentinians, Peruvians, Columbians, Salvadorians, Dominicans, Brazilians, Andorrans, Portuguese, Philipinos, Cubans, (in some cases Sephardic peoples) and even Puerto Ricans. The process for Puerto Ricans is a bit more time consuming, since we first have to get a document from the Puerto Rican government, which declares us Puerto Rican by birth or thru parents

For Bulgaria, you can obtain residence permit by TRP route (the cheapest and easiest), as long as you have an active company outside BG you will be eligible to obtain the entrepreneur permit. Best part : You can become a tax resident and pay flat 10% as long as you can prove your vital interests in BG

@ChristophFluriHeckenbuecker Ай бұрын

Rafael the cheapest option is 200k through a Limited in Cyprus. I do this at the moment with many people and they invest into property that earns big part back of the initial investment until they can claim the passport by naturalisation later on.

@@EKKO_xxsome of them surely have had experienced substantial doses of suffering, even though in different forms. I grew up in a post-Soviet country (not in a Baltic one, unfortunately, because I could have been enjoying EU citizenship for many years now), and the type of suffering people here in the EU tell me about is a different story. Yet, there are broken individuals here, even though they have never experienced the hardships of the former USSR nor Africa. Besides, people tend to have different pain thresholds, so it’s quite challenging to determine the ‘real’ impact of the same thing when two different people experience each phenomenon in a unique way.

Spain has terminated Golden visa due to housing crisis, Many rich people flooded all over buying properties that caused housing prizes increase hurting the local people not able to buy houses. I think other EU country will stop or have already stopped this Golden visa scheme.

@WealthyExpat Ай бұрын

1 - The golden visa is still active for a few more months. 2 - The golden visa has not caused price increases, since they account for a very small percentage of all property purchases. :D

@user-uq4qe2om5y Ай бұрын

What an ignorant and unintelligent comment. Do you have statistics on the number of properties purchased by foreign “golden visa” holders in Spain? If you do, provide the citation(s). No way are foreigners enrolled in this program buying more than a couple percent of all homes sold in Spain each year.

I can see from your other videos that you don't like Australia. I'm Australian and I don't like Australia either. There is a massive housing crisis here, and many Australians are falling into homelessness. Australia is a dangerous country to live in, and the commonwealth amounts to terrorism.
