    Oct 2 2025

    In this episode, we break down the four main types of property taxes and zoom in on annual ownership tax. We look at which countries have no property tax, highlight places with the lowest property tax, and explain fixed-fee models in countries like Croatia and Greece.

  • The truth about becoming a Cypriot citizen
    Aug 6 2025

    This episode takes a clear, grounded look at obtaining citizenship in Cyprus in 2025, based on the latest official rules. With the closure of the former citizenship by investment program, the process now centres on long-term residence and meaningful ties to the country.

    It explains how to get Cyprus citizenship through naturalisation after years of legal residence, through Cypriot citizenship by descent for those with family roots, or via the Cyprus 3 year citizenship route for spouses.

    The updated Cyprus citizenship by investment requirements in 2025 are also covered—investment now leads to permanent residency first, not direct access to a Cypriot passport.

    Whether researching how long it takes to get Cyprus citizenship or exploring the options available through investment or family connection, this episode offers a realistic and practical guide to the process today.

    In this episode, we focus on destinations like Portugal, Spain, Mexico, and Panama, where Americans are increasingly choosing to settle. Listeners will learn about visa programs that fit different lifestyles, including digital nomad options, investment-based routes, long-stay permits for retirees, and income-based pathways such as the D7 and Pensionado visas.
