"Got my Portugal D7 approved in four months. The US exit tax section alone saved me a two-hour call with my accountant — and probably a few thousand dollars. Clearest breakdown I've found anywhere."— Former Director of Engineering, Google · Bay Area

What's inside
We cut through the legal jargon and consultant-speak. Every section is written for someone with a complex financial life, a US tax obligation, and limited time.
Side-by-side comparison of visa types, minimum stays, investment thresholds, and processing times for 2025.
Which programs still accept non-EU applicants, what changed after Portugal's 2024 reform, and where the real opportunities are now.
FBAR, FATCA, treaty benefits, and how to structure your move without triggering an accidental exit tax event.
Which EU countries grant citizenship fastest after residency, and what physical presence actually means in practice.
How to include spouses, children, and in some cases parents — and which countries offer the clearest path for Taiwanese nationals.
A step-by-step pre-application checklist and the 12 questions you must ask any immigration attorney before signing anything.
Who this is for
This is not a guide for digital nomads or retirees on a budget. It's for high-net-worth individuals with real assets, US tax exposure, and a genuine reason to diversify their citizenship options.
You've had a liquidity event. Now you're thinking about what's next — for your family, your assets, and your freedom of movement.
Senior engineers, directors, and VPs at Google, Apple, Meta, and similar companies sitting on significant equity and optionality.
Whether you're based in Taipei or the Bay Area, an EU passport gives your family a long-term safety net and global mobility.
