Hey anyone going to LLM Mastery in Chiang Mai on the 14+15 november this year?
Hey there!

Any good cafรฉs in Malaga to work for a couple of hours?
Hi! I'm in the process right now! I started on my own a month ago.
Ahhhh a units problem I read it like
m = meters
min = minutes

I'm not sure Vietnam truly has a peak season right now, it's more like peak year. Agoda is usually your friend in this part of Asia. Just don't AirBNB unless you're planning on staying at least 30 days. What is available is just what's available for that part.

If you have some flexibility there is also a rail system under construction, with one line solidly active, and the busses are pretty modern with Vingroup electrifying them. Grab is also quite cheap compared to other locations like Thailand, and significantly less scary speeds with helmets required by law. Significant walking is pretty rare as a primary form of transportation right now, but the city is trying to change that slowly
hey everyone. i am planning to come to uae at the end of august to start meetingi people and get projects there. how is the situation from your point of view? any recommendation?
hey everyone. do you have any recommendation for a coworking place in istanbul?
Hey! Someone in Vienna in the next 3-4 days?
visiting cdmx soon but i dont roller blade
Interesting your renewal offer had a discount.

Also good information that the Thai elite has issues once in hand and trying to use for living.

The DTV makes it easier regarding tax residency for some people as it's remitted income.

What I've been told is keep all receipts and ATM withdrawal receipts and then that final number you pay tax on.

Problem with DTV is what happens in 5 years, will there be another VISA, will reapplication be allowed, will there be a cool off period?
Iโ€™m headed there this weekend as well. DM me if that lines up with youyou
Iโ€™m headed to Portugal for the first time this weekend m. Gonna try to stay for at least 2 weeks to find my next home. Would love to hear recommendations
ivanre in #bali 2d
Yes, I check but I can't see any in bali.
ivanre in #bali 2d
Nice, I check and this is what I was looking for.
ivanre in #bali 2d
Thank you both for answer
dashaa in #bali 2d
you can organize one โ˜๏ธ
Any decent coworking spaces in SP in Paulista/Centro suitable for focus work?

So many to choose from, many pricey, and everyone seems to be a huge hassle some way or another to sign up to and try out ๐Ÿ˜„

Bigger problem with DTV is bank account, IMO ๐Ÿ™‚

Itโ€™s low season here in Ho Chi Minh City now.
Hey, what do you like, where do you like to stay? In the city/nature/close to what?
Happy to help
Hey everyone, looking to stay in Tbilisi for the month of September. Do you guys have any tips for finding a rental for a month, other than on airbnb?
any FB groups or sites someone could point me to?
Hi all, was thinking of walking/cycling along the ocean from Cascais and stopping somewhere towards Guincho tomorrow to see the partial Eclipse around 19.
Anyone ?
hey, airbnb for a month is best bet
or you can do a swap
Will Rustaveli be open again by October?
In oscar freire you can go to BETC Havas Cafe, pretty chill almost empty on weekdays pre lunch
Second floor nobody is there
between $3-5 usd the coffee
If thatโ€™s too pricey, you can go to Teia Coworking Vergueiro instead (itโ€™s inside Centro Cultural Sรฃo Paulo, on the lower floor)
You scan the QR code, register (if you want) and they have the coworking space for free. You can also stay in the library if you want to instead of being inside
hi! I am in Belgrade tonight only before going to liberland tomorrow. Message me if you'd like to meet up.
Random question: Iโ€™m considering getting a second passport mainly for diversification, not for travel.

Given my nationality/lifestyle and how cheap they are, Panama (~5 years) and Paraguay (~3 years) seem like the most interesting options. The main thing for me is that I donโ€™t want to significantly change my lifestyle or spend most of the year in one country. Ideally Iโ€™d maintain the residence properly, keep whatever local ties/assets are needed, visit a few times a year, and still be free to travel.

Iโ€™d consider citizenship-by-investment too if some cheap-as-fuck opportunity came up ๐Ÿ˜…, but Iโ€™m generally not interested in spending hundreds of thousands just for another passport as mine is already very strong (EU)

Has anyone here:
- actually obtained citizenship after ~3 years in Paraguay or ~5 years in Panama?
- done it while spending relatively little time there?
- found any other low-cost, low-physical-presence routes worth considering?

Also curious whether you think pursuing a second passport purely for long-term diversification is actually worthwhile.

have you considered an Argentine passport?
feel free to tell me more
The CIP programs in the Caribbean are unbeatable, usually the entry level tiers are "donations", but at a slightly higher tier / willing to lock up ~300-500k of capital in a real estate purchase gets you the passport too

You mentioned you don't want to pay a few hundred k, but you're willing to maintain a residence there - this is how you'd structure it - purchase real estate and hold the property, which I think ties in neatly with what you already stated you were willing to do
Buying real estate in lieu of donation to qualify for CIP is probably the lowest cost approach in terms of haircut to equity you'd take (the RE you're qualified to buy for purposes of CIP is usually overvalued af)
do your research:)

>>>Also curious whether you think pursuing a second passport purely for long-term diversification is actually worthwhile.

I would say, if you can afford one (either by CBI or by changing your life in a way for few years to meet the criteria) - get one.
agree, two passports are much better than one, three even better
It really depends on your threat model.

If youโ€™re a little bit dodgy and just want to avoid being drafted into a hypothetical war then having any two passports might help.

But if youโ€™re a lot dodgy then maybe itโ€™s hypothetical extradition over serious charges that you want to avoid and so youโ€™ll need two unfriendly countries passports.

But if you just want a second one for fun and to say so, then I hear the brand new libertarian country Verdis will take some money off your hands for one โœจ Any nomads ever seen a Verdis passport?
haha, Verdis is only 80 usd
I already have Panama, actually. Italy has a special treaty/relationship with Panama, so for Italians the route is even easier than the Friendly Nations visa.

All-in, the residency process cost me around $3.5k + two flights. I became a permanent resident on January 14, 2026, and in theory I should be eligible to apply for naturalization 5 years from that date.

What Iโ€™m mainly trying to understand now is how probable citizenship actually is in practice after those 5 years, especially if I maintain the residency/ties properly but donโ€™t spend most of the year living there.

That said, I really like the general idea of doing some annoying legal/admin bullshit early in life and then potentially collecting a passport 5โ€“10 years later ๐Ÿ˜…

On the Caribbean CIPs, I get your point. Iโ€™m just not a huge fan of real estate as an investment in general, especially in countries far away from where I actually live. Iโ€™d rather keep most of my capital in liquid investments than lock $300โ€“500k into a property I probably wouldnโ€™t otherwise buy, especially if the CIP-approved real estate is somewhat overpriced to begin with.

That said, I really like the general idea of doing some annoying legal/admin bullshit early in life and potentially collecting the benefits 5โ€“10 years later but i'm open to new ideas!
Do you want a passport specifically or are you OK with long-term residency?
e.g. Dubai has a pretty nice golden visa program tied to RE investment, and apart from the current conflict with Iran real estate there historically has been a solid investment
You said you didn't want it for travel, so perhaps you'd be amenable to the 20-year visa as a fallback
alexsun in #taxes 1d
bad promt. should ask countries with most enemies and not under sanctions.
From experiences I've heard, it's very difficult to get Paraguay citizenship. It only makes sense as a Plan A.
I have done lots of research on 2nd passport.

It all depends on your goal.

Trying to minimize costs it depends what it's worth to you.

Cambodia has a 2nd home path to citizenship.

Many Chinese "businessmen" do it.
As a Canadian for me it would be all about taxes.
Any website for the event ?
Yes but canโ€™t share links here
Send you dm
Oh great, thanks, seems like amazing options I had not found otherwise! Not at all too pricey for coffee and a place to work

Hello, is anyone here in or around San Sebastiรกn?

Iโ€™m visiting soonish and looking for recommendations
hey Frank, may be late but the 200-300k figure isn't in the law anywhere. Worth flagging because it sounds like a rule and it isn't one.

Art. 8.1 of Ley 27/2014 says an entity is resident in Spain if its incorporated under Spanish law, or has its registered office here, or has its sede de direcciรณn efectiva here. That third one is defined right in the article as where the management and control of the whole of its activities sits. Run it from Spain and that's Spain. https://www.boe.es/buscar/act.php?id=BOE-A-2014-12328

Thats worse than paying personal tax on the profits. A Spanish-resident company files Impuesto sobre Sociedades on worldwide income, with Spanish accounts behind it. More money doesn't change the test. It changes whether real substance somewhere else is affordable

If you're American and end up going autรณnomo, the totalization agreement decides which country's social security you're in. SSAs own guidance says a self-employed US citizen resident in Spain is covered only under Spanish law, so no US self-employment tax, but you're in the autรณnomo system and that's a monthly cost people forget to budget. https://www.ssa.gov/international/Agreement_Pamphlets/spain.html

Beckham is worth asking a Spanish adviser about before you register for anything, since the election window is short. I don't know how it lands for someone self-employed with US clients, so don't take my read on it
Anyone in marbella right now?
Hey everyone! My nameโ€™s Ruslan. Finally pulled the trigger on nomad life. Iโ€™m from Toronto and do ecommerce. Also big on AI and organic social media (tens of millions of views).

Landing in Bangkok in October. If your interests align, send me a DM - looking forward to connecting with yโ€™all!
Hey, hope you had your first pickle ball game already, coming to Da Nang this 15th, could you share that group it would be great to connect
Officially, they should finish by November. But things are often postponed in Georgia.
Tried BETC Havas today and it was a great pick!
No it's not easy for Paraguay, Panama it is but you have to have the money for the investment. You can't get another passport for cheap AND without staying time and rooting in the country. Even if you went to brazil or argentina and 'marry' you need to be there two years.
I did in 2022 and they didn't care
Neither country is a fast naturalization process and neither is getting you a passport if you donโ€˜t live there and build local ties sadly. Have to look for other options. Easier to consider a faster country where youโ€™re ok spending time like DR, Argentina or Brazil. Can discuss more in private if youd like :)
