I am surprised at all the nonsense "advice" you got on this site which I thought had intelligent people on it. Many people need to leave their past behind and start fresh. You are no exception. You are not a criminal --jus a bit stupid (which we all are sometimes)... In this world there are...

Another PT Rule is that no one at all should know where you sleep. No name on the doorbell, never register anywhere, don't give out your physical address, don't get mail except at maildrop or c/o friend, if you have a lease, use any name but your own, So a PT never has a fixed address unless it...

P.T. Theory is still alive & working well, say I, Peter Taradash. The original PT idea was to be a perpetual tourist with 3 months per year invisible & untaxed in 4 different places. A PT can also stay as long as they want --wherever their passport(s) give them the right to stay longer. Thus...

You are correct that the bank deposit usually required is Euro 500,000. Cash, securities or precious metals. You also need to show that you have a place to live--either a lease or title to a suitable property. The bureaucrats have discretion and normally take over 3 months to grant residency...

" Does anyone know who Peter Taradash (Grandpa /Pugi) is and what happened to him?" Where am I? Still in or near Monaco. I "used to be" the author of books on how to make a million , PT (Perpetual Tourist), and reports on a dozen tax havens & stuff like that. I was on the lecture circuit ...

You're right! Of course, you won't get a nice 2-bedroom place in a good Warsaw neighborhood for E250 a month...But in a nice smaller Polish or Bulgarian town or somewhat depressed -rural place, in much of depressed Europe, you can, easily. I think you could also get a nothing-special-studio...

My friend ""G" ran a successful newsletter biz & lived in Singapore in a rented big house for 40 years as a PT without a visa. In the old days he had to do a visa run every 2 weeks by taking a short bus ride to the border with Malaysia, having a beer & then coming right back. Now you can stay in...

Cheap is relative. A decent one bedroom apartment in Zug could run you Euro 4000 a month. That would be considered cheap there. You'd get a similar very nice furnished place in depressed Biella Italy (near Turin & Milan) or South Italy for maybe E 250 a month -- long term. That is about as cheap...

A friend of mine wanted to rent a place in Switzerland because he wanted to have a Swiss license plate on his car. He did. Worked fine. Basically, he is legally sharing an apartment with some gorgeous stewardesses and paying 1/5th of the rent. I think he is getting it with benefits. The rent...

Campione used to be a very easy place to get a residence card, Swiss Driv license & plates for your car, Swiss Med insurance, tax freedom, and many other goodies --all for merely renting an apartment. You didn't have to buy real estate or invest in anything. Unfortunately, that all changed a few...

You are right. ABC Always be careful. It is easier for an Italian to be or pose as a Commercialista so I'd only deal with the local established ones that I know well. Never by property "sight unseen." I actually like to rent for a month before I buy, when possible. On all these topics I could...

Usually, a general power of attorney works though it may be necessary to prove that the signer is still alive as a p/a dies with the signer (except in special cases). If you trust someone enough to do lots of stuff in your name without you, then the solution is to make that person an officer of...

I have bought and sold over 300 properties in various countries including Italy. So I am not just blowing smoke. The major thing in any deal is to find out what the seller wants, Then you give it to them. If your seller wants cash in Euros and you want to buy with Bitcoin, there is no rule that...

Offshore Corp Talk answers by Peter Taradash 16 Aug. 2023 "Do you know any bank that allows you to buy (and sell) online as a Non-resident?"" As long as you are not (USA) American, almost any LEGITIMATE bank or broker in the world will allow you (as a non-resident of their own country) to...

Swiss insurance companies will sell annuities; Swiss banks will sell bonds. But they don't usually want USA "persons" as clients.

Last time I mentioned specific outfits on this forum I was chastized and warned I was nearly kicked out ... after that I never mentioned any names. They won't let me give them to specific people like you who ask for them either. No problem for me as I am retired from being a consultant & no...

Same way can usually figure out which hotels or AirBnB deals are worthwhile, overpriced or terrible. I put in the name and do a google or Bing search for reviews and comments. When doing this be aware of "astroturf" or phony favorable reviews by the bad guys themselves. The real reviews may not...

What vauable things can you carry on you & take across borders? Precious gems, (or diamond dust for abrasives) are a historic form of portable wealth in a very small portable size. The problem is that cut diamonds & other gems, for instance, have a retail price called "Keystone" which is 7 times...

WE had your problem some years back. Solutions like setting up a company to own a car were both impractical, illegal and well . . .crazy expensive - we were going to do that and the costs were around $10,000 a year with a Liechtenstein Foundation. Basically, In Europe you need to be a legal...

Turkish wages and salaries are considerably below those in most of the EU and USA. Thus naturally many Turks at the low end of the economic pyramid want to move to a place where they can earn more. A smaller number of Americans in the upper 1% with higher earnings than the lower 20% of all Turks...
