Asia isn’t just rising – it’s redefining where and how global business gets done. With world-beating adoption, cost-effective talent and rapidly growing consumer markets, the region offers serious upside for entrepreneurs looking to start, build or scale. But with opportunity comes complexity. In fact, the region has so many options it can be daunting to […]
America isn’t what it used to be. High taxes, political chaos and a growing sense that personal freedom is slipping away have more people looking for an exit. Maybe you’re tired of footing the bill for an overreaching government, or perhaps you just want a better quality of life. Whatever the case, there are options […]
Asia is a continent of contrasts. From one corner to the other, it offers an extraordinary range of cultures, landscapes and lifestyles – each capable of making you pause and think, ‘This is incredible… could I actually live here?’ While the sheer variety of options can feel overwhelming at first, it only highlights just how […]
Singapore is a small island nation just south of the Malay peninsula. It’s a place of eternal spring, without snow or cold weather, thanks to its place at the equator.

The definition of ‘wealthy’ varies. But generally, high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) are hard-working millionaires, investors, and entrepreneurs, who have over $1 million in wealth. These are the people who can afford to get out and move to a new country when there are major shifts, like a pandemic or a monetary crisis. The HNWIs are also […]
In the last few decades, there have been constant talks about moving overseas. However, this isn’t something that has always come to fruition.

Knowing that you’re going to be looked after properly if you get ill is a key consideration for anyone thinking about travelling to a foreign country.

And this year, it ranked 1st in the 2021 Index of Economic Freedom, making it the freest economy in the world. How does a country reach such a status? […]
Taking your business offshore isn’t just about growing – it’s a smart, legal way to reduce your tax burden. Many countries actively encourage foreign entrepreneurs by offering a second residency in exchange for setting up a business inside their borders. For entrepreneurs who can see beyond the borders of their home country, receiving residency in […]

Investment immigration is the best way to do this. This isn’t just about relocation: it’s a strategy to enhance global mobility, diversify wealth and secure a future in […]

Dateline: Singapore In today’s low-yield environment, investors must constantly decide between “safe haven” assets with practically zero yield, or “riskier” assets that offer a few percent. Here at Nomad Capitalist, we believe that both can be part of a balanced, global portfolio. While we’ve discussed simple bank deposits in countries like Georgia and Armenia that […]
Southeast Asia is often one of the first places people try when they start their nomadic lifestyle. It’s cheap, it’s warm, it’s easy to get to and it’s a lot of fun. But people usually fail to consider that it’s more than just a short-term place to go on holiday to. It’s actually a great […]
More than 90% of all countries have some kind of minimum wage legislation. The debate about whether establishing a minimum wage is a good thing or a bad thing has been raging for over a century, but the concept is so common nowadays that it even sounds obvious that there should be a minimum wage. […]
Even if you appreciate the value of holding cash, you probably don’t like the idea of carrying around a brick of currency worth a few hundred bucks.

Last Updated February 11, 2021 Dateline: Amsterdam, The Netherlands Free market economies, capitalism, and the USA have traditionally gone hand-in-hand. If you grew up inside the confines of America, you would think that it is the only place in the world where capitalism exists. These days, capitalism does exist in the Land of the Free, […]
Dateline: Tbilisi, Georgia When defining the world’s richest countries, people tend to look at the strength of the respective economies in terms of Gross Domestic Product, or GDP. However, most economists nowadays take into account the purchasing power parity (PPP) of a country. As you know, government economists always twist the numbers to suit their […]
Dateline: Hong Kong Almost thirty years ago, Hong Kongers were freaking out about their return to China. No one knew what would happen, but they didn’t think the news was optimistic. Today, of course, Hong Kong is a global financial center. After twenty years back with China, not a lot has changed for the worse. […]
Very thought about eliminating taxes on your foreign-sourced income and what you might do with the money saved? Non-dom tax regimes, like those offered in Ireland, Cyprus and Malta, provide special schemes allowing qualifying individuals to do just that. However, other, better options exist for anyone not lucky enough to qualify for these programs or […]
Singapore has become one of the most attractive destinations for high and ultra-high-net-worth individuals to move to educate their children and store their wealth. However, moving to the city-state has become a lot more expensive, quadrupling in price. Ranking 30th on the Nomad Passport Index, a Singapore passport comes with excellent visa-free travel that rivals or […]
For US citizens, choosing the best offshore bank can be a complex but equally important financial task. And if you’re a successful investor or entrepreneur, you may be cautious about where you diversify your assets (and you should be!). But what if you’re also a US person? The most important thing for Americans is complying […]
If you’re new to the world of offshore banking, you may understandably be concerned about bank safety. After all, many people, influenced by false media reports, believe that there’s a risk their money can simply vanish if they move it overseas.

Dateline: Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, Philippines Finding the right place to live overseas can be a challenge. Here in Asia, some of the most livable cities come with steep price tags. Barely one week ago, I was in Singapore meeting with offshore gold guru Torgny Persson, who will be speaking at our Passport to Freedom […]
Dateline: Singapore As a contrarian entrepreneur and investor, I like to zig where others zag. Especially in lower-end businesses, many just follow the herd mentality and don’t think about the ramifications of decisions they make for their business. And honestly, I see a little bit of that herd mentality when it comes to Singapore. The […]
Dateline: Singapore Westerners have been taught from day one that high taxes and government inefficiency are simply the “price we pay for civilization”. If you believe that, allow me to share a story you may be familiar with… Human beings have been running for sport for centuries. Ever since the legend of Greek messenger Pheidippides […]
Dateline: Singapore While Singapore isn’t exactly my cup of tea as a permanent residence, it’s always a pleasure arriving here for business. I flew to Singapore from Indonesia this morning. The government-owned Jakarta airport, not satisfied with their own government’s visa-on-arrival fee, has made sure to gouge you for another “departure fee” – payable in […]
Last updated February 10, 2021 Dateline: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia In this day and age, having fast internet is a necessity. Whether you’re a serious location independent entrepreneur, running a local business, or just a casual surfer, slow internet is a real drag. It’s bad for business, and in today’s connected world, it can cause stress […]
Dateline: Johor Bahru, Malaysia I’ve always been fascinated by the concept of borders. Growing up on the United States, we learned early on about The Land of the Free’s only two neighbors: Canada and Mexico. And as we got older, we were told that on one side was a country exactly like ours. On the […]
Reporting from: Bangkok, Thailand Remember when you were a little kid and you’d go to your friends’ birthday party to eat cake and play party games? Even at seven years old, I was overly anxious for my age, and one game in particular really got me going: musical chairs. You’d run around and around in […]
Reporting from: Bangkok, Thailand Sukhumvit is one of the busiest areas of Bangkok. Full of tourists, overpriced bars, and international chains from Domino’s to 7-Eleven at every turn, it’s part of what makes Bangkok such an international city. Walking around here can feel at times like Hong Kong or any other large metropolis with a […]
Reporting from: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam They say water seeks its own level. Perhaps that’s why thousands of US citizens are handing in their US passports at the local embassy and saying “Thanks, but no thanks”. They’ve joined the fast-growing movement of Americans who have chosen to renounce citizenship. In just the second quarter […]
Reporting from: Hue, Vietnam You wouldn’t guess by looking at it, but this small city in Central Vietnam was the imperial city of the entire country under the last ruling dynasty. In 1802, Emperor Gia Long ascended to the throne. For the next 143 years, his family’s Nguyen Dynasty would rule Vietnam. However, it would […]
Reporting from: Singapore Here in one of the world’s bastions of economic freedom, the proof that you need to be planting flags around the world is all the more apparent. Coming to Singapore is quite an experience. Changi Airport is amazingly clean. Flowers adorn the walkways. When you arrive from an international flight, you are […]
Which country has the most millionaires per capita? If you said the United States, you’d be wrong. In fact, the United States doesn’t appear on the list of most millionaires per capita, nor is it the richest country in the world. So where you can do to fit in if you have a big suitcase […]
Who could have predicted that last night’s State of the Union address by President Obama would be a rallying cry for more of the same populist dogma that seems to plague the west these days? Hopefully, anybody. Among the American president’s proposals are increasing the federal minimum wage 24% to $9 an hour, and to […]
