It’s not just about France. It’s about the direction the whole world is going.
More reach. Less freedom. Fewer safe havens.

The global system is quietly shifting from “where you live” to “what passport you hold.

France just dropped a tax bombshell.

They’re planning to keep taxing citizens for ten years even after they leave.

If you earn over €235 K and move somewhere with taxes 40 % lower — say Dubai or Cyprus — you’ll still owe France for a decade.

They’re running from uncertainty — political chaos, higher taxes, and shrinking freedoms.

The trend is clear:
They’re diversifying passports, not just investments.
Because in 2025, freedom is the new currency.

Comment “Global Mobility” to see where they’re heading — and how you can, too.

Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong — attracting those who want zero tax, maximum efficiency.

Meanwhile, the U.S., U.K., and Canada? They’re losing millionaires faster than ever.

The wealthy aren’t running from opportunity.

Over 120,000 millionaires are packing their bags this year.
And not for vacations — for new residencies.

Here’s what’s happening:
Europe’s southern coast — Portugal, Greece, Spain — is pulling the rich with lifestyle and EU access.

After tax, your net return drops to ~14% on average.

That’s what you actually keep.

$100,000 today → $196,000 in 5 years.

Nice? Yes.

Life-changing? No.

In most countries, gold profits are taxed as capital gains:

🇺🇸 U.S.– up to 28% (taxed as a collectible)

🇬🇧 U.K.– up to 20% (Capital Gains Tax)

🇨🇦 Canada – about 50% of gains taxed at your income rate

🇦🇺 Australia – up to 23% effective after CGT discount

🇮🇳 India – 12.5% LTCG on sale profits

Gold looks hot right now.

But let’s talk facts, not FOMO.

Over the last 5 years, gold returned 16% a year.

But remember — those gains aren’t fully yours.

But it only works if you’re compliant:

Real substance abroad

Arm’s-length pricing

Proper CFC filings

Genuine management outside your home country

This is how the wealthy play — legally, globally, & quietly.

Harsh Gupta @multiplepassport.bsky.social · 12d

The result? You control your capital. Governments call it “deferred income.” Entrepreneurs call it freedom.

It’s not just about tax. It’s about:

Asset protection — your IP & cash are shielded.

Exit flexibility — sell globally, save locally.

Future planning — expand worldwide without leaving home

1️⃣ Create a foreign holding company — in Cyprus, Netherlands, or UAE. It owns your local business.

2️⃣ Flow profits through dividends or royalties to that holding.

3️⃣ Keep profits abroad — reinvest, delay payouts, or fund other ventures.

4️⃣ Extract when it’s tax-efficient.

You don’t need to move to Dubai to lower taxes. You just need to think globally — and structure smartly.

Smart founders don’t flee their country. They build holding companies, license their brands, and decide where profits live — all while staying 100% legal & tax-compliant.

Here’s how:

Launched by Estonia’s Ministry of Economic Affairs in 2014 & revamped in 2021, it continues to expand globally with new pickup centers in Asia & Europe.

A borderless nation in the cloud — the future of citizenship is already here.

But here’s the fine print: e-Residency is not citizenship or tax residency. You still owe taxes where you live & must maintain annual reports or face penalties up to €3,000. Some banks limit access for non-EU residents.

Harsh Gupta @multiplepassport.bsky.social · 13d

Over 100,000 people from 180 countries have already joined. They’ve built 25,000 businesses using Estonia’s fully digital infrastructure — from banking to contracts to accounting — all secured through government servers.

It’s perfect for freelancers, startups & digital nomads who want EU access without moving. With a simple online application & a €100 fee, you get a government-issued digital ID that lets you sign documents, open EU bank accounts & file taxes remotely.

Imagine running an EU-based company without ever stepping foot in Europe.

That’s the magic of Estonia’s e-Residency, a first-of-its-kind digital ID launched in 2014 to let anyone, anywhere, start a company in Estonia — completely online.

As an EU & Schengen member (since 2023), Croatia offers visa-free mobility across Europe—an appealing, low-barrier route for global investors seeking both income and EU residency stability.

Harsh Gupta @multiplepassport.bsky.social · 17d

Get a 1-year renewable residence permit, permanent residence after 5 years, and citizenship after 8 with language proficiency.

Family members qualify, corporate tax ranges 10–18%, and ventures may receive EU agricultural incentives.

Croatia now offers a strategic residency pathway via agricultural investment—distinct from traditional real estate–based golden visas.

Invest €120,000+ through a Croatian company (d.o.o.) in vineyards, olive farms, or agri-businesses.

This move positions UAE as more than a tax haven — it’s now a global home for sustainability innovators.

Would you move to the UAE for impact-based residency? "

Harsh Gupta @multiplepassport.bsky.social · 18d

You can apply directly via ICP, or get nominated by UAE authorities.

And if you’re overseas, they’ll even give you a 6-month multiple-entry visa to finish your process.

Scientists, researchers, NGO members, activists, sustainability professionals — can all qualify.

Announced officially at the World Governments Summit 2025, it’s now live — and Phase 1 gives 20 leaders their Blue Visa this year.

Harsh Gupta @multiplepassport.bsky.social · 18d

UAE just changed the residency game again — this time, it’s not for the rich, it’s for the responsible.

The Blue Visa gives you a 10-year residency if you’ve made exceptional contributions to climate, environment, or sustainability.

Result? 0% personal income tax, total certainty, and a booming fintech hub in Dubai.

The UK loses talent; the UAE gains another billionaire.

Lesson: if your strategy relies on one government’s goodwill, it’s fragile.

Plan early. Protect your capital.

Go where you’re treated best.
