I had a blast talking to Mark and learning more about the Cayman Islands. While Cayman is a great place to do business and even to live, permanent residency can be extremely difficult to obtain, as opposed to here in Panama, where I am getting residencies for people in a month total.

Governments Hate This Trip
Paraguay doesn’t make headlines—and that’s exactly what makes it powerful. No wealth tax. No global tax. No chaos. This year, I’m leading a private group into the heart of Latin America’s best-kept secret. You’ll get boots-on-the-ground access to lawyers, investments, and a second residency most people don’t even know exists. Governments hate this strategy—and that’s exactly why it works. If you’re serious about a real escape plan, go to ExpatMoney.com/Paraguay.
