lol what is he going to do? Tariffs?

yes Switzerland is also a good place, my point is that a lot of people here look at all these exotic locations and complicated tax structures while for many it will only bring more headaches. Base yourself in a low tax country like Bulgaria (or another country of your choice) and live your life...

That's up for debate, I lived in the ME (Bahrain, Dubai, ...). There is no way that I would want to spend the rest of my life there. If you have money, Europe is still one of the best places to be. There is a reason why all the rich oligarchs and Saudi princes have properties in Europe. Anyway...

if you want to do the fake residency thing then it is best to avoid any country where you need to take a boat or plane to get out because there are passenger lists even inside Schengen so at the end of the day you are easily traceable. You need to make the decision first if you want to stay in...

to be fair, Bulgaria is probably the best place now in Europe if you want to do the whole fake tax residency thing. They joined Schengen and you can easily drive in and out without any registration. Malta and Cyrpus (Cyrpus is not part of Schengen) means taking a flight or ferry so there is...

ah the fake tax residence trick, the oldest tax evasion scheme known to mankind, what could possibly go wrong ;)

OP is planning UAE, it will be very easy to calculate how many days he was within EU if they really want to know, that's why i think this is a bad idea. If you want to do the fake tax residence thing, go to Bulgaria for your tax residence and then you can travel easily within the EU with far...

my source is EU law that as an employee you can only legally work a set number of hours, 2 full time contracts violate that. You can have 2 different part-time contracts in different EU countries, better contact a specialist how taxes and social security how that will work yes it is, to work...

If you come outside of EU your entry is registered at the border anyways, they know exactly when you entered or exit EU territory if you return within 2 years they are going to try to tax on the income you had outside Belgium, for anything over 2 years they will look for other ways to still tax...

Are these both full time work contracts because that is going to be illegal.

Depends on the country, Belgium fore example takes 5 years, if you return within 5 years they could tax you on that income. best is to talk with a tax expert of your home country I think until now that data is only accessible for (serious) criminal cases but who knows if that will change some day.

I would add, if you come from outside EU/Schengen, don't take a direct flight to your home country but take a flight to a neigbour country and proceed over land to your home country.

Does this home country has "center of life" or "vital interest" in their tax code? This is vital because if they have there is nothing that will stop them to use it against you even if you stay less then 183 days in your home country. People have been considered tax resident for far less then...

I am sure it works in Kenya and probably a bunch of other countries but this stuff stopped working in high tax EU countries a while ago. You can probably get away with it the first year, maybe even the 2nd but at some point you will get in trouble. you can even get in trouble with a tax...

The OP wants UAE tax residence while living in his home country for 182 days as a "tourist", it is literally in his opening post, maybe you should stick to the subject instead of posting stuff that has zero relevance to what the OP was asking? Now you are going on ignore status, ciao ciao
