Understood, life there is quite boring. But with big tax savings (compared to other places) and low stay requirements maybe you could use that extra money to travel and spend time abroad, while maintaining the tax residency there.

If you don't mind living on the island - Cyprus could be an option. If you buy a EUR 300k property you and your family will get permanent residency. After 7 years you can apply for citizenship/passport. Taxes are amongst the lowest in Europe and under non-dom you're exempt from most of the taxes...

When you're doing such things, always have couple accounts open. When they ask you for proof of funds, you take a withdrawal slip from another bank and send them. Also never just deposit, sometimes also withdraw some amounts and take it to other bank and deposit there. Keep all the slips. Why...

WOW! That's crazy! How long do they last? What do you actually do there (like practice shooting or something)?

They just stop you and ask for your IDs? What do you tell them? That you live here or you're just a tourist/visiting family or friends there?

6 hours long - but worth watching. Really interesting guy with crazy stories.

How often are you called to army trips?

He can get residency in Serbia easily, setup a company and do business from there. Lot of Russians already living there. Has direct flights from Moscow to Belgrade (3h flight). Non-EU country.
