Creating a plan to internationalize and diversify your life isn’t something you should undertake as a reaction against someone else. It’s something you should do for yourself, to protect yourself, your family, and your assets. When he was in office, I met countless Americans who were planning to leave the United States because of Obama. [...]
Imagine a country that uses the very same currency you do now… A business hub that’s at the center of the world… with tax advantages you won’t find back home… and a banking sector that has never had a single crisis. On top of this: it’s a tropical paradise with year-round warm weather, some of [...]
I’ll have to keep it brief today… As I write, the sun isn’t yet up here in Porto but scores of your fellow readers who jetted in from across the U.S., Europe, and even Asia, are—and they’re keen to get going on day two of my Offshore Wealth Summit. Yesterday we covered how to create [...]
You know I’ve been bullish on Panama for years. Long-term, Panama will be one of the main global business hubs, competing with Singapore and Dubai… All in all, Panama is a country where you should consider “planting a flag.” Panama uses the U.S. dollar, so you won’t get any currency diversification, but for many people [...]
The key to living long-term overseas… and to escaping home at a moment’s notice if you need to… is residency and/or citizenship overseas… You can obtain residency or citizenship in more than one country.

Renting out a property that you also use can be complicated. The Paris 2024 Olympics reminded me of this. A friend in Paris swapped apartments with someone they know. They wanted to be out of the city during the games, while their friend wanted to be in the thick of things. He’s an Olympic-holic who [...]
In October, I’ll be in Porto, Portugal, for my annual Offshore Wealth Summit. One of the topics we’ll cover is filing taxes as an American offshore. Taxes are a hot topic right now as the presidential race heats up… Should he be elected, Trump plans to permanently extend his 2017 tax cuts, eliminate taxes on [...]
Why would anyone want to “go offshore” anyway? That’s a question I ask myself at this time of year, as I put the final touches on the program for my annual Offshore Wealth Summit. The event takes place this year on October 16 to 18 in Porto, Portugal. I like reminding myself why I do [...]
Trump and Vance versus Harris and Walz. Yeesh. In just a couple months we’ll have our winners… and losers. For close to 30 years, I’ve been warning people of the risks of hanging all your hopes on any one country… any one economy… or any one currency. That message has never been more pertinent than [...]
