Your digital nomad tax advisor, for peace of mind, from residence to structure.

Your future deserves more than a standard package

Your situation is yours alone. Your passport, the country you live in now, your sources of income, your family and your goals all shape the route that is right for you.

That is why we never sell ready-made packages. We work through your real situation and build a structure with you that stands up to scrutiny, and that you can confidently explain yourself.

We have done this since 2006, with a law firm in Austin, Texas, and advice in English and German. The six areas below are where most cases begin. In practice, they overlap, and getting the order right matters just as much as getting each answer right.

Your future. Not our favorite country to sell.

Too many providers in this field have one flagship jurisdiction, and a sales pitch to make it sound right for everyone. We do not. Your family, your business, your passport and how often you need to go back matter more than selling you a destination.

That is why our country and visa pages tell you where a country fails, not just where it shines. Belgium works for weeks and fails for years. Starlink is banned in Namibia. North Macedonia advertises a nomad program that was never introduced. You deserve that same honesty in a consultation. Sometimes, the right answer is to test a country first, to plan differently or to stay where you are for now. Your future is too important for a sales pitch.

Where to live: your residence strategy

Where could you build a life you truly love, without compromising your income or your goals? We weigh tax burden, visa options, cost of living, access to banking and quality of life, helping you choose your next chapter with confidence.

• Understand your tax starting point
• Compare countries of residence that truly fit your case
• Explore flag theory and perpetual traveler strategy
• Leave your current country of residence cleanly

Your next chapter deserves more than guesswork. The country comparison reveals daily life across 25 countries outside the EU. Dreaming of life without a fixed base? Discover what it requires in the perpetual traveler guide, while sebsauerborn.com takes a critical look at flag theory.

Digital nomad visas and residence permits

Your life shouldn’t have to stand still. More than 40 countries now offer visas built for digital nomads. We help you find your fit, and move forward with support for your application, preparing your documents and dealing with the authorities.

• Digital nomad visas worldwide
• Permanent residence permits
• Golden visas and investor visas
• Bringing your family, and combining several options

Stop guessing. Start planning. The digital nomad visa profiles reveal income thresholds, fees, where you apply, family rules and the path to residence for each country, checked against official sources.

Your visa opens a door, but it doesn’t settle everything. It answers the question at the border: where you may stay and for how long. Your bank, your tax office and your health insurer ask different questions. We look at those together with your visa, so you can face your next chapter with greater clarity.

What a digital nomad tax advisor looks at

Know the rules. Keep more of what you earn. The goal isn’t to be resident nowhere, hoping nobody asks. It’s a low tax bill, the right residence, and the relief of getting it right.

• Leave your current tax home cleanly, in the right order
• Understand non-dom status and the remittance basis
• Compare countries of residence with low taxes
• Get your residence, your company and your bank working together

Imagine keeping more of your income: the UAE charges no personal income tax, and Panama taxes territorially, so foreign income stays untouched. But whether you benefit depends on where you are resident and what ties you keep.

If you are a US citizen, you remain subject to US income tax on your worldwide income wherever you live. Moving abroad changes how you plan, not whether you file. Don’t leave the basics to guesswork: start with our guide to where digital nomads pay taxes and our tax overview.

Company structure and banking

Your freedom matters. As a nomad or perpetual traveler, you deserve a company structure that fits your life, not a life built around your company. Get advice on US LLCs, offshore companies, holding structures and international company formation.

• US LLC (Wyoming, Delaware): depending on the facts, without US federal tax
• Offshore companies worldwide
• Holding structures and substance requirements
• Bank accounts for international structures

Build your next chapter on experience: US structures have been part of our work since 2008. Our sister site zerotax.llc explains the US LLC for digital nomads in detail. Find accounts that work wherever life takes you on our page on banking for digital nomads.

Asset protection

You’ve worked hard to build your wealth. Don’t leave it exposed to liability risks or political and legal changes in any one country. Protect what matters most with our advice on international protection structures, precious metals, cryptocurrencies and succession.

• International protection structures
• Asset protection trusts and foundations
• Cryptocurrencies and precious metals
• Succession and estate planning

Take the next step: our sister site Asset Protection Plus covers trusts, foundations and accounts outside the EU in English.

Second citizenship

Your birthplace shouldn’t define your future. A second passport means less dependence on your birth country’s decisions, and more freedom to choose your own path. We advise on naturalization, citizenship by investment and citizenship by descent.

• Citizenship by investment (Caribbean, Europe)
• Citizenship by descent
• Naturalization through residence
• Passport rankings and visa-free travel

Take the next step with clarity. Our sister site Passport Sovereign compares the citizenship by investment programs that are open, with minimum amounts, fees and family rules.

Clear roles: feel supported, find your way and get qualified review

Your next chapter should feel exciting, not like a burden you carry alone. Over the years we have built a vetted network of lawyers, tax advisors, notaries and specialists in the destination countries. We choose the partners for your task, coordinate between them and keep the whole route in view, so you can look ahead without managing a dozen providers on your own.

When your future is on the line, you deserve clarity, not guesswork. The content on this site and an initial assessment stay general. Binding legal, tax or investment questions are reviewed by qualified partners for that field, based on the facts of your case. You get specific advice where it matters most, and honesty about what a general page can tell you.

How it works

1. Consultation: you book a consultation. We listen closely, ask the right questions and understand what’s at stake for you.
2. Analysis: we face your tax, legal and personal starting point head-on. No sugarcoating. Just the clarity you need.
3. Strategy: together we turn your ambitions into an individual plan: location, structure, timing and the steps to get there.
4. Implementation: you don’t have to navigate it alone. We support implementation: dealing with authorities, forming companies, opening accounts and filing visa applications, working with local lawyers and partner firms where a case needs them.
5. Arrival: you live where you truly want to live, with a structure behind it that you can explain to a bank and a tax office.
