When each one makes sense
UAE / Dubai
Powerful for high revenues and for those who genuinely want to live there. But the cost of structure, visa and living is much higher — for many freelancers, the tax saving gets eaten by the cost of life.
Georgia
Its small-business regime is attractive, but the general rule demands real presence (183 days), and the country is far from everything if your life is elsewhere.
Panama
Territorial and well established, but entry costs have risen and banks are demanding when opening accounts for foreigners without history.
Malta
Interesting for very specific profiles (EU, non-dom) with expensive advice and a complex structure. Not a "simple" option.
Paraguay
The unique combination: 0% foreign income + low entry cost + no strict minimum stay + cheap maintenance. It's not the country everyone wants to live in 12 months a year — and that's exactly why it works so well for nomads: it gives you the tax home without demanding you change your life.
Where we're heading
Today we specialise in Paraguay because it's where we add the most value for the least cost. But the plan is bigger: we are progressively specialising in the other favourable jurisdictions — UAE/Dubai, Georgia, Panama and more — so we can always recommend the one that truly suits you, not just the one we know how to process. News lands in the newsletter first.
