Insights
Written by named people who are accountable for being wrong, dated so you can see how stale they are, and sourced so you can check us. If a piece here stops being true, we rewrite it and say what changed.
What we would tell you not to buy
Vanuatu’s EU access is permanently gone. Luxembourg’s 1900 route expired. Digital residency is not residency. Five things still being sold in 2026.
The end of non-dom
The UK abolished non-dom on 6 April 2025. The 4-year FIG regime, the 12% repatriation window closing in 2028, and the IHT tail that is not 10 years.
What happens when a citizenship application is denied
Refusal rates run from 1.7% to 14%. What is non-refundable, what is unappealable, and what a claimed 100% approval rate actually tells you.
The 183-day rule is a myth
Day counting is one test among several and rarely the decisive one. What treaty tie-breakers actually turn on, and why keeping the house loses cases.
Will you be a covered expatriate?
The US exit tax has three tests. Fail one and you are covered. The 2026 figures, Form 8854, and the green card trap at eight of fifteen years.
Reading is not advice
None of this knows anything about you. When you want an answer that does, we are here.
