Ok. Specific? Go to the biggest financial institution in the country that accepts foreigners. For me personally, I would also want a respectable institution to have been in existence for at least 25 years.

Very interested to know about a couple examples of those "financial services organizations" Can't give you names but look for the established ones in- Singapore, Cayman, Bermuda, Bahamas, Serbia, Lithuania, etc. The ones in Switzerland & Liechtenstein used to be good, but once they caved in to...

In all these discussions about wealth preservation and tax reduction, it is important to remember that the biggest threat to your wealth is from business partners and lovers. Why? They know all your secrets. They can steal from you, blackmail you, or otherwise damage you only because you trusted...

"I wonder why someone should not like you" Answer -Ha Ha Ha. The answer is that no matter how fairminded, nice & generous you try to be, YOU CAN'T PLEASE EVERYONE. I learned that 60 years ago when one of my proteges, whom I helped become very successful & wealthy, betrayed me and stole over $1...

I was still hitting home runs at 65, but struck out at 86! Thanks for the kind words and encouragement. You asked for hints on avoiding taxes. Most people don't know it, but one can simply move to quite a few countries that have no income taxes. Ask Bing "Give me a list of countries with no...

This is Peter Taradash, and since you asked to see my face & hear my voice, I have made quite a few YouTube Videos. These days I am 100% retired and not taking on any new clients unless they interest me. Here is an update on my life: Secrets of Peter Taradash, 23 Aug 2024 Since you asked . . ...

You got that right, The Monaco cops actually do keep track of whether "residents" really are physical residents for the required minimum 6 months a year. Electric, water, and internet usage is monitored. They can tell if a place has been vacant for months at a time. One (not really a ) secret is...

Yes. That is correct. A foreigner (non USA person) can speculate in USA stocks. If he/she makes a profit on resales, he/she is not liable for any USA capital gains taxes. But of course, may be liable for cap gain taxes in their own country of residence if such taxes exist there.

I think for USA taxpayers who live abroad, capital gains incomes are still "theoretically" subject to being reported and taxed. Of course, the reality is that if a USA (or any) expat lives in Brazil (or anywhere) and buys a diamond ring for $1000 and sells it privately for $2000-, well, who is...

I usually keep my personal life personal, but now that I am nearly 90, and retired for a long time, here are some of my secrets. I have had 5 wives & an equal number of kids plus grandchildren & great grand-children. Some of the ex-wives & kids like me, some don't. The ones who like me come &...

Getting off taxpayer registries: One of my early discoveries was that you don't have to be a legal resident of a tax haven to get off the taxpayer lists of most countries. In the USA, just having a USA passport means you are always liable for income taxes on your worldwide income no matter where...

Thanks for your very nice compliments, Mario I T, marioIT I think maybe a year ago, offshorecorptalk.com had posted the topic "Who is Peter Taradash" The stuff recently posted is off the topic of getting a residence in Monaco. Maybe our esteemed host / admin John Locke will be good enough to...

If you just want to rent an apartment and stay there in Monaco as a perpetual tourist (not a legal resident), there is no financial requirements to live in Monaco , That is, aside from the landlord's request for the usual 1 month rent & 2 months security deposit. I did that for 40 years. With an...

"It's really not an international place." I would disagree. . In fact I can't imagine any place on earth that is more international than the Riviera. I have spent part of every year here for the last 70 years, getting along 95% in English & 5% using my High school 1 semester of French. If you...

PS: I also lived in the tax haven of Andorra for a while- between France & Spain. It is much cheaper than Monaco! It has a few good restaurants. It is a mountain valley town a bit isolated from any big cities... Biggest negative: Constant traffic jams will take you over an hour just to get out...

I lived in Monaco for many years. It is certainly not boring. In fact, for a town of only around 40,000, it is amazing with more "attractions" than most other cities --even with a few million inhabitants. There are always shows & things going on that you'd never see anywhere else. I used to like...

If you just want to move there (to Monaco) and if obtaining "legal residence" there is not important to you, it is easy. Just rent or buy an apartment. Rents are not too crazy, but property prices are. A mere studio apartment may cost $2 million. The USA says you can be considered NOT a USA...

When Woody Allen was asked about religion in his household when he was growing up, he said it was "Never buy anything retail." Thus, in Manila or anywhere else, always look for the many listings for distressed, auction & foreclosure properties. Make low offers. If you bid for 100 properties...

Sorry-Singapore houses and apartments are much more expensive per square meter. Malaysia is about the same for comparable locations. One reason Philippine housing is relatively expensive is the lack of land. It is an overpopulated island nation. The high population density is over 100 million...
