    Buying a house in the Philippines as a foreigner

    I just got back to France, but when I am in Philippines I'm happy to help anyone in this Offshore Group wanting to know the scoop--for free...The price anywhere ALWAYS depends on location. That's true where ever you are. After a lot of looking I just bought a 2 bedroom Manila BGC (best location...

    Any Good EU Country that will leave me alone?

    There are a lot of Italians who would be happy to let you use their address if you were to pay their electric,gas or water bill --or maybe just pay for their internet. At worst you pay them a few euros to put your name on their mailbox. It would be sort of like renting a mail-drop in the bad old...

    Should I leave myself off child's birth certificate?

    My short answer is that I have been through exactly what you face now. If you ever get into a court situation, the judge will treat the girl and your kid just as if you were married --whether you are named on the BC or not. It happened to me! Not having your name on the kid's birth certificate...

    Any Good EU Country that will leave me alone?

    You didn't say if you have an EU passport. Obviously, with that, you can rent a little studio in any country and establish residence, but not tax residence... I personally always liked Campione 'Italia because it is a de facto tax haven, part of the EU, but surrounded by Switzerland on all...

    Perpetual Traveller (And Being A Tax Resident Nowhere - UK Citizen)

    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...

    INTERPOL I-Checkit

    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...

    INTERPOL I-Checkit

    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...

    INTERPOL I-Checkit

    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...

    downsides of second citizenship

    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...

    What advice you give to your younger self ? (Mistake that still regret )

    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...

    What advice you give to your younger self ? (Mistake that still regret )

    "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...

    Is TOR Still Anonymous? and How Were People Caught Using TOR?

    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...

    What advice you give to your younger self ? (Mistake that still regret )

    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...

    Do you still trust Proton Mail ? ? ?

    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: stay...

    Switzerland - An exposé by CNBC International..

    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 haven...

    Turkish citizenship from Polish real estate.

    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...

    Cashing out crypto and then?

    I like Offshore Corp Talk for responsible advice you don't see much of on the Net, says "Grandpa 85, a/k/a Peter Taradash. The next BTC run you were waiting for has certainly run since you wrote the above. I had some BTC bought recently at an average cost of $30K per BTC. It has more than...
