My country Belarus asks me to be resident somewhere. I can live there 0 days, and if I can’t present tax residency certificate, then I’m considered tax resident.

“You are tax resident if you spend 183 or more days. You are not tax resident if you spend less than 183 days.
In case you don’t have tax residency anywhere, then you are tax resident in Belarus.”

I’m digital nomad and not residing anywhere for more than 80 days. I’m single. I consulted with Belarusian local lawyers and some told me that any tax residency will work, specifically, Cyprus for 60 days, UAE for 90 days. But for Georgia they didn’t see any cases, however, it should work. I run US LLC and I don’t want to become UAE or Cyprus resident, because those countries enforce their P/E rules.

What I want: to get paper from any state that will state that I’m tax resident there, and Belarus accepts it.

What I’m willing to do: I can afford to buy apartments in the state that I need to obtain tax residency. And can open company with getting some money, to make my economic ties there as well. I don’t have anything (income / property) in Belarus except family.

Why I need that to do: the country likes to take money from its citizens in 5-9 years. And by that time Belarus might get information from CRS, and for sure will chase any chance to get money.

I don’t see any issue just to get paper to get out of it.

What I’m considering now:
1) Georgia HNWI
Extremely good, but not sure if they accept it.
As I think they must accept it, because under domestic rules I’m not resident (less than 183 days, just one rule), and I have country (Georgia) where I chose pay taxes. Georgia accept my taxes and me as their tax resident under their domestic rules.
Local Georgian lawyer said that it’s a nice idea.

2) UAE 90 days
Not good because the country likes to take money if they can. And they can under P/E.

3) Cyprus 60 days
Too many rules, and it’s under pressure of EU.

What do you think, any country where I can establish tax residency by buying property and making business, to make it consider me a tax resident, but not taking my income for P/E rules?
 
Paraguay could indeed be a good fit for you. You don't need to buy an apartment or establish a company, unless you want to.
PY does not care about your foreign income, so your US LLC income is out of scope.
The local banks are non-CRS. Tax Certificate is obtainable, even with 0 days stay.
How is it obtainable? On PWC it's said that you have to spend 120 days.
 
Do you need the US LLC? You could be a freelancer in UAE (admittedly you'd still need to pay small taxes), or an Individual Entrepreneur in Georgia with 1% taxes (if you meet the criteria).

Wouldn't work if the US LLC is doing something material in US, but then the P/E rules wouldn't be a problem anyway.
 
Want to solve my questions legally without any shady things. If there is no law, then it's shady.
Ok, btw. PwC says for Georgia is 183 days also.

so you want to dodge Belarusian taxation legally, by showing a document that tells a lie but that you obtained legally.
Try Palau.
Or photoshop.
