As mentioned elsewhere, "Best Offshore Jurisdiction" is highly subjective. What's right for one, will not be right for another. Details matter.

Honestly, you'd be better off spending that sort of money to live in a place like Singapore. Whilst it's a lot harder nowadays to get PR in Singapore, there's no guarantee you'll get it in Malaysia either.

I see the Silver tier does not allow you to work/run a business. MM2H looks like a complete rip-off.

I've used https://asiabc.co/ a few times. They were reasonable in terms of price for prepping the audit and submitting everything to IRD. I last used them about 10 years ago, so I don't have any recent experience to share. Honestly, there are so many similar firms in Hong Kong that you...

While I try and avoid banks like the plague, HSBC (HK and SG) still offers web-only banking (complete with a physical security key).

That is wild lol. It's what I did with an old BVI last year.

Sending it back to the UK was asking for trouble.

I second this. Great book. Also "Broken Money", by Lyn Alden is a worthwhile read too. Bingo. This is a great example of "second-system syndrome" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second-system_effect).

Correct. BTC is the hardest money known to man. Indeed. This is where all fiat currencies ultimately lead. Hard money always wins. Bitcoin, not crypto. "Crypto" is ultimately replicating the existing financial system on new digital rails. Highly centralized control where only a few insiders...

If you understood money, then it would be painfully obvious that the current system is broken beyond repair. But it's a hard chasm for most people to cross, because then they have to admit that everything they were taught about money is wrong. "Diversification" is simply selling the winner to...
