    Summary of this video:
    Wealthy Expat announces that he has left Dubai and it is no longer his primary residency. He still recommends Dubai for those looking to lower their taxes and enjoy a developed and fun environment. However, he personally no longer needs Dubai as he is no longer a US citizen and has obtained tax exemptions in a European country. He expresses his desire for a tier A passport and plans to obtain two more passports, including a Turkish passport. He emphasizes the importance of having multiple citizenships and residencies to have more options and flexibility.
    He also mentions that Wealthy Expat, his company, is expanding to offer tax exemptions and real estate services in multiple countries. He believes that Dubai is a good temporary solution for a limited amount of time and recommends using it as a stepping stone to other countries that better fit one's personal preferences and goals.

    The world is changing so fast that it no longer makes sense to plan on living in one location for 20 years. Who thought 20 years ago China would be this advanced, and America would end up where it's heading? I think paying attention to what's going on and having ongoing 5 year plans would be wise as the world shifts one way or another.

      @@kukikukac You must be joking. That or completely ignorant of what's going on. Do a search on their tech. They implement things lightning fast. As I said in my last response (before it mysteriously deleted), was that I went to Shenzhen like 7 years ago and they weren't even using cash anymore BACK THEN. I don't remember anywhere that people weren't using WeChat to pay for everything - subways, restaurants, shops, massage salons. In CA, where I no longer live fully since I'm in Asia now, they are still using cash and credit cards at restaurants most of the time. All you have to do is not be willfully ignorant, search some China tech videos and see that they have long since added 5g all over, face recognition to get into buildings or to purchase things, buses that drive over traffic. Have you even been there? You should go and experience it. We can be pro US and still be realistic at how much faster they are advancing into the future than we are (which is partly cool and partly crazy dystopia - and why I have 5 year plans to recognize and move on).

    As a Turkish citizen living in Istanbul, i would avoid getting a Turkish Passport. It's currently treated by EU & USA as one of the most suspicious passports. You can not event make an appointment to get a Schengen visa. Even if you do, that's most likely rejected, no matter if you have relatives living in EU for example. On the other hand, hefty taxes are planned to be loaded on the citizens, including crypto. But the most important thing, the quality of life is really lacking in Istanbul.

      I don't know about this guy, I don't watch his channel, but it's clear you know sh1t about Dubai. One of the points of Dubai is that it's a great base for other places. There are 10-15 bank holidays in the summer, and most people take the majority of the 25 day annual leave (5 weeks) off in the summer in addition, plus most companies allow you to work remotely for a few weeks in the summer too. Dubai is very hot from June to August, and most people go travelling or are based elsewhere. That's the cool thing about Dubai - and you're not far from either Europe or Asia. People who live long-term in Dubai for 10+ years still follow this schedule more or less. Dumbass.

    I got natively a passport that is ranked 2nd in the Global Passport Power index, but taxes here are crazy, even if you want to start as a sole trader you are already taxed before making any transactions. EU-wise you should look at Estonia as you can get e-citizenship, Bulgaria also has 15% flat tax and there is a decent network of foreigner investors. Northern EU countries have high living standards, but by being social democracies taxes are high, you have to pour in a lot money to get in return a solid peace of mind when it comes to health care, education, social welfare, pensions.

    Portugal 🇵🇹 still has the NHR program. They haven't axed it yet but you have to live there. I prefer their CBI options. As for Dubai, like Singapore, they want to keep their citizenry for the most part homogeneous and that is why they make it so hard to become a citizen. For tax purposes, one really needs to look into offshore trusts.

    Only problem is that 5-6 years is a very short period and if you like living there then you are back to 50% after that brief period. What many people don't know is that almost every European country has a pretty complicated tax law where many loopholes are baked into the law when using corporations. For example in Belgium you can take about $80k a year out of your company as "intellectual property" taxed at 16.5%. You can also lend money to your company and then take out interest at a 30% flat tax etc. Overall you can keep your tax burden under 30% if you really understand the law. Not great but reasonable.

    The best thing about being wealthy is not having to worry about where you need to live. If you love Europe, then live in Europe. Living in UAE, a place that potentially won't like, to save on taxes, doesn't make you a wealthy Expat.

      ​@@EnderViBrittania ​Not that simple, especially where I'm from. In UK, economy has stagnated for 13 years and wages have stagnated for 15 years. House to wage earnings ratio in 1970s/1980s was 3, now in 2023 it is around 8 and so houses have become much more unaffordable. In USA, middle class has been declining for decades as well as trade union membership. In 1960s, 1/3 of workers were in a union, today it is just 1/10. Since 1978, the CEO compensation among America’s 300 biggest companies has gone up 1,460%, while the typical worker’s pay grew by just 18% (both adjusted for inflation). So, while some poor people do engage in careless spending, the vast majority of poor people are not poor because they like to "spend like a drunken sailor" - there are many issues surrounding it.

      Dubai isn't generally a healthy environment for single foreigners. The fact of the matter is that most people get caught up in that life and let's be honest, it's promoted and allowed by the government. It's easy to say you don't have to partake in it but the singles that move there are going there with the intention to wild out. Any westerner that is single not looking to be high and partying and whatever all the time, they don't move there. I do see families there and that's a little different. Usually they end up there specifically because of work and the much higher salaries.

      it is not so easy. If you live outside US you only have to pay taxes if you make over $150k taxable income? - forgot the exact amount but there is a large exemption. Then you also have credit for income taxes you paid in a foreign country. So most US expats living abroad don't pay any taxes to US.
      But it is tax filing and foreign bank and investment reporting requirements which annoy everyone. You have to file tax returns and report everything even though you don't owe any taxes and penalties for not filing are outrages.
      One caveat: if you have income coming from US and live abroad full time then that income is taxed as if you are at home. Foreign exemptions and tax credits don't apply to it.
      If you live abroad and making more than $150k and not paying any taxes to foreign country you will pay US may be 25% on average, there is sliding scale the more you make the more you pay 15-35%.
