The Hon. Dr. Godwin Friday, Prime Minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines 🇻🇨 received me for a courtesy call in Kingstown. Various aspects of the relations with Singapore have been discussed, and @VCinSG shall continue to deepen the cooperation between the two countries.

Sir Stanley Kendrick "Stalky" John, GCMG KC, Governor-General of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines 🇻🇨, is the viceregal representative of the Vincentian monarch, currently King Charles III. He received Honorary Consul @phmay_sg at the historic Government House in Kingstown.

@cquerkxboii_ What beef do you have with Singapore?

Singapore ??? Where the fuck u want to go??? bukit Timah ?????

It was already not easy to obtain these visas. The sudden travel ban on holders of valid visas is a stark reminder that second passports are a necessity. Avoid disrupting, get a Plan B. With a Nauru 🇳🇷 or Vanuatu 🇻🇺 passport you are even visa free for transit in Australia 🇦🇺.

@bozwy Müsste die Schweiz dazu nicht auch aus Schengen austreten und die PFZ kündigen?

Auch in der Schweiz kommen bald Zustände mit Migrantengewalt wie in Deutschland! Darum: Sichere Grenzen und Remigration Wie? - Nachhaltigkeitsinitiative: JA - EU-Unterwerfungsvertrag: NEIN 👉🏼 Was sagst DU dazu?

@CleansedTweets How does a shortening of the tourist visa from 60 to 30 days address these (often legitimate) complaints? These tourists usually stay much less than 30 days anyway. So a shortening has no effect.

Thailand is considering shortening the tourist visa from 60 days to 30 days due to widespread frustration with tourist behaviour. Main complaints by nationality by Thais: Chinese tourists: Travel in large, loud groups, often rude and disrespectful. Refuse Thai food, only eat Chinese cuisine. Frequent littering and ignoring religious site rules. Indian tourists: Large groups that litter beaches. Loud public behaviour. Aggressive haggling. Refuse to follow venue rules. Dominant presence in sex tourism areas like Pattaya. Low spending compared to other tourists. Many working illegally. Hygiene issues. Russian tourists: Drunken, disruptive behaviour. Shirtless in public. Fighting and rowdy antics Sense of entitlement. Working illegally. Israeli tourists: Strong sense of entitlement. Unpaid bills. Public intoxication. Aggressive and disrespectful behaviour. British tourists: Stag and hen night culture. Blackout drinking. Shirtless in public. Bar fights and disorderly conduct.

@andyantiles_ Firstly, what is his tax residency and citizenship? And that of his parents? For sure he should get a 2nd citizenship with Grenada 🇬🇩 or St Kitts 🇰🇳 and a residency in Bahamas 🇧🇸 or Monaco 🇲🇨. It’s not about inheritance tax but also future income and wealth tax. @yaminfouzi

Just got off a call with a guy who just got a $34m inheritance from his parents Not in real estate value… Not in stocks… But in cold hard cash. The kid is 23 and makes $200k/year as a software engineer Has no idea whatsoever what to do with this money What would you do with it? Here’s what I suggested (I’m not a financial advisor, and this is not financial advice) Invest $12.5m into $VOO (S&P500 ETF) Invest $12.5m into $QQQ (Nasdaq ETF) Buy a $5m primary residence in cash And with the last $5m, buy section 8 real estate properties. I connected him with the sourcing company I use, and over the next 12 months They’re going to source him 150-180 rental properties This will create enormous tax deductions that will eliminate his income tax for years And he’ll earn ~$600k-700k in annual recurring cashflow And the $5m he puts into down payments will turn into $25m of equity once the federal government pays off all the debt in 30 years Simple playbook to ensuring that $34m turns into multiple 9 figures and true generational wealth

@thealepalombo Ever heard of the EU’s tax harmonisation plans?

Cyprus is becoming the default European base for globally mobile families. And most people are still sleeping on it. Here's why. 15% corporate tax. A 17-year non-dom regime, i.e. no tax on foreign dividends or interest with just 60 days of presence. No wealth tax. No inheritance tax. English everywhere. British common law. 340 days of sunshine. Direct flights to London, Dubai, and most of Europe. Affordable, high-quality healthcare. International schools in every major city. And the residency paths keep getting better: - Digital nomad visa from €3,500/month, up to 3 years - €300K in real estate gets you permanent residency - EU citizenship after 7 years - Fast-track citizenship in under 5 years for skilled tech professionals No other European country gives you this combination at this price point. The biggest criticism: "it's boring." But as other destinations tighten tax regimes and raise the bar on residency, Cyprus only gets more attractive. I've been saying this before it was obvious. 80% of families looking for a European base will seriously consider Cyprus in the next few years, if they haven't already. Bookmark this and check back. Living there or looked into it? What surprised you most, good or bad?

@jakpost No mercy for this hoodlum. He should get a maximum penalty and be jailed, fined and deported. In other countries he may even be flogged in accordance with local laws. Don’t let Indonesia become like Western Europe where the local religion can be trampled on and insulted.

@thealepalombo Of course, UAE will never give citizenship to foreigners. And, yes, the will come up with a fancy new branding (platinum, elite, VIP etc - the usual terms) for a new temporary visa program. But no permanent residency. That’s why expats in Dubai need a plan B. @ec_holdings

Not citizenship. The UAE will launch in my view a "platinum visa", something like a golden visa with far better terms. What's your take?

HNWI and investment migrants flock to Paraguay 🇵🇾 as sleek towers rise above the once-sleepy capital and its conservative president @SantiPenap cozies up to 🇺🇸. @ec_holdings has been at the forefront of this trend, in cooperation with @MigracionesPY and @MIC_PY (SUACE).

@BitNomadic Keep Dreaming

Imagine if the UAE rewarded citizenship to Golden Visa holders who stayed or kept investing through volatility. 1,000 citizenships granted on "merit" = massive signal, a clear reward for resilience, and a loyalty loop that compounds. Global PR win.

@TonyAshai Definitely not. This post will age very badly. @imidaily @yaminfouzi

My guess is after this war is over, UAE will announce path to citizenship for the residents.

@CreateActionLtd @SimonHoiberg You don’t need any money in Switzerland. They offer free accommodation, food, medical, education etc to anyone who comes and claims asylum.

@SimonHoiberg You also need some crazy money for Switzerland. Shocked me how much it costs over there!

I'm so tired of big cities. All I want now: - A mountain hill in 🇨🇭 - Fast internet - An online business - My wife and 3 children - 3-5 close friends That's it.

@SimonHoiberg @PadraigOraghail 🇨🇭 does not control its borders with the EU, and not limit EU-immigration. That’s not an expression of sovereignty. Where else in the world does that exist? And you - as an EU citizen - can just move there, thanks for the “free movement agreements”. No visa, no permit, nothing.

@phmay_sg @PadraigOraghail That's a ridiculous claim. It most certainly is not.

I found it 🥰 This is my home now 🇨🇭

@SimonHoiberg @PadraigOraghail 🇨🇭 is de facto 🇪🇺 That’s why you can be there.

@PadraigOraghail Montenegro soon-to-be EU. ❌️ No go for me.

Singapore is the best country in the world I like it all: 🇸🇬 Culture: Joining a 45-minute queue because "if there is a line, it must be good." 🇸🇬 People: Professional complainers who will still defend the country to the death if a tourist joins in. 🇸🇬 Hawker food: Sweating under a plastic fan to eat a $5 Michelin-starred chicken rice 🇸🇬 Safety: Using a $2,000 iPhone to reserve seat at a food court. 🇸🇬 Efficiency: Touching down at Changi and being home before the flight crew has even left the plane. Name a better country, I’ll wait

Double standard? The EU 🇪🇺 does not want to allow Switzerland 🇨🇭 to do criminal background checks on its citizens who immigrate there. The same EU brands Caribbean CBI programs “risky” although they perform thorough security checks (including criminal background). @imidaily

@graemelamperson The Hamptons of South America

OFFICIALLY 🇺🇾… Heading to the “Monaco” of South America for all of April. 📍Punta Del Este 🇺🇾 Great infrastructure. Beautiful beaches. A very favourable tax regime. Curious… How it will be in the off-season. Look forward to sharing all about it then.
