Getting off the taxpayer rolls as a tax resident is a process that varies widely in every country. You can find out the procedure in Sweden by searching "Getting off the taxpayer rolls" in Google, Bing, etc. In the USA all you have to do is move out of the country to Puerto Rico for a whole...

I agree, except that to open even a small transit account, they want your life story, financial history & tax info in great detail. And I'm guessing, if you pass a substantial amount (over $10,000) in say crypto profits thru that bank, it will be essentially public record. Why?Because it's...

Banks in every country are now demanding more old documents & asking more & more personal questions -- even about transactions 30-50 years ago. I suppose they are being suffocated with government requests to know more about their customers than the customers know about themselves. It looks like...

Personal experience? A lawyer friend of mine wanted to get essentially a criminal clearance for his client. This client was a businessman who had been sued many times in many countries (Just like Donald Trump). Some cases he lost involved charges of criminal fraud. He was not sure if his past...

Naturally, if your home or original country (or one you want to visit) is at war with the country of your 2nd citizenship, you could have problems-- even "internment (prison) as an enemy alien." This is why in my PT books, etc, I always advise people to be very discreet. Do not brag about, or...

Gosh, I am not trying to be a smart-a*s- always right. I only know answers to stuff I have been thru myself or with clients. Am posting here only to give accurate & helpful info ... I am retired and have extra time on my hands.. For someone facing a divorce, it helps a lot to know all the...

Thanks for the clarification. I will use your very good advice in any future posts. Under International Law, the status of one's marriage and the legality of a foreign divorce is ultimately decided by the forum where one or both parties to the marriage actually reside. So if a person gets a DR...

"In Denmark, there is no wait time, as soon as you have clicked on YES to the "are you sure" question the process is completed. Each party can sit behind their own screen and handled it in minutes!" I point out that for a Denmark divorce," In order for your application for divorce to be...

I think this is common sense: Peter Taradash, a/k/a/ "Grandpa" says: If someone is going to break the law with threats, harassment, extortion/blackmail attempts, they risk exposure. Tor, Proton or the Dark Web, etc. can't offer 100% anonymity. Some of the comments on this article offer...

Peter Says: Sorry, but what's keeping you together must also be mutual attraction + the fact that you get along OK. Not just the freedom to separate. I think marriages that end in divorce usually end much sooner than 30 years. In my experience, when many people (especially women) hit around 40...

If expense is a problem, one can arrange to go to public or universities for free. There is no other way aside from college/university to become a Doctor, Lawyer, Dentist, Engineer, Vet, CPA or many other professions These can be both rewarding financially and as a productive lifetime...

Peter Taradash, a/k/a/ "Grandpa" says: If someone is going to break the law with threats, harassment, extortion/blackmail attempts, they risk exposure. Proton or the Dark Web, etc. won’t offer 100% anonymity. Some of the comments offer ways to gain enhanced privacy, but the best advice is...

10 May 2024. If one wants to escape the crime and chaos of USA or UK to the orderliness, safety, and prosperity of Switzerland ; one might rent or buy in much cheaper Campione. It is a geographic anomaly - an enclave of Italy, totally surrounded by and totally within Switzerland. As a tax...

Last year I decided to invest the required $400,000 minimum plus atty fees, etc. in Turkish real estate to get their passport. Later I changed my mind because I will be able to get another pretty good (EU) passport by ancestry-- without any investment... I looked into the Turkish situation...

This is PeterTaradash a/k/a Grandpa. The other advice here is all good. I will add a few things. I have been robbed & burgled maybe half-a-dozen times in my life, but not in the past 10 years. No 100% guaranty this will work for you, but here are some of the things I do to avoid theft...
