What Are the Most “Flexible” Countries for Citizenship with Low Tax Systems?

[gatrader]

Hi Everyone,

I’m exploring options for obtaining citizenship in countries with low tax systems and would love your input. Specifically, I’m looking for countries that are known to be “flexible” in terms of residency requirements or physical presence during the naturalization process.

What I’m Looking For:

1. Low or Zero Taxes: Preferably countries with territorial tax systems or low tax burdens.

2. Citizenship Timeline: Relatively quick paths to citizenship (ideally within 3–5 years of residency).

3. Flexible Residency Requirements: Countries that don’t enforce strict physical presence rules or allow alternative ways to maintain residency.

4. Dual Citizenship: It would be great if dual citizenship is allowed or tolerated.


Examples I’m Considering:

• Paraguay: Citizenship after 3 years with minimal residency enforcement (territorial tax system).

• Uruguay: Decent public services, citizenship in 3–5 years, semi-territorial tax system.

• Panama: Friendly Nations Visa is straightforward, but they seem to be stricter lately about physical presence.

Questions for the Community:

1. Are there other countries that fit this profile and are more attractive or “easier”?

2. Has anyone gone through the process in these or similar countries? How strict were they about showing actual residence?

3. Are there any “hidden gems” that aren’t often mentioned but provide significant advantages?

Your insights would be greatly appreciated! Looking forward to hearing your experiences and thoughts.


Thanks and Merry Christmas !!!

Most EU counties have no residency requirements. Belgium would be a candidate where you can limit the tax risk. Portugal too.

2. Has anyone gone through the process in these or similar countries? How strict were they about showing actual residence?

Many. Most don't take about this. Andrew Henderson would be an example.

Let's take Switzerland. They won't ask you how many days you were there. They check whether you have a job, what you do and whether you know the country.

3. Are there any “hidden gems” that aren’t often mentioned but provide significant advantages?

Definitely. You can check Andrew Henderson's website. He has two articles:

• 14 Easy Second Residency Programs Anyone Can Get
• How to Use “Paper Residency” to Get a Second Passport

Panama and Paraguay don't allow dual citizenship. Both countries take years to get naturalized due to bureaucracy

 

[JohnnyDoe]

Sounds like another victim of Andrew Henderson

@NewHorizonsParaguay is that true?

You are a victim of him? Do you know anybody that ever was a customer of him?

No

Do you know anybody that ever was a customer of him?

Yes

 

[daniels27]

No

Yes

Is the service there good?

 

[SCHLOSSFINANZ]

there is no "paper residency" that leads to citizenship LOL - Andrew Henderson marketing trap

If you want to overpay an introducer to some CBI agent, yes.

Let's talk about something every business professional dreads: people who waste your time. We've all been there: spending hours in conversations that go nowhere, entertaining leads that never convert, or getting strung along by folks who aren't serious about working together.

I've developed a pretty solid radar for spotting these time-wasting interactions before they drain my energy and resources. Here's my guide to protecting your time and sanity.

Nomad Capitalist Henderson seems to be capably doing what I used to do. If the guys in this list wrote reports I would sure like to read them. I will attach one of my old ones here. Pete

He’s a YouTuber and influencer - you know what people say about them these days. They’re as fake as Santa Claus. They give their worthless advice just to make money off you buying into it, that’s how they hook you. You just lost a star in my book.

But I must respect him for how he makes money. But Henley & Partners also charge you 40k for their fees. And that's on top of what they already charged the government for developing the program. And then they often give you probably wrong answers. A good example of Swiss mythology: not everything that glitters is gold.

In any case, I am happy to be here, I can buy Mentor Gold for my 10 next lives and still will have spent less than just one Andrew Henderson or one Christian Kählin.

@JohnLocke are we that afraid of Andrew Henderson that his website is blocked here?

But I must respect him for how he makes money.

Always respect anyone who makes money in the free market. I only disrespect those who waste their money.

@NewHorizonsParaguay is that true?

Yes, except for Spanish and Italian passports based on reciprocity agreements.

 

[daniels27]

Yes, except for Spanish and Italian passports based on reciprocity agreements.

It takes too long due to reciprocal bureaucracy?

 

[NewHorizonsParaguay]

Ah sorry, I missed the other part.

So, dual citizenship is not allowed, except for Spain and Italy.

Yes, the process is complex. Maybe I will be able to help in the future, but now I am not. It goes through the Supreme Court.
