Vanuatu is definitely one of the places you want to consider when searching for a second citizenship. It's well known for its rich culture, secluded location, and flexible tax conditions. Recently the country has celebrated its independence anniversary and Mundo wants to join the celebration to congratulate one of the countries that constitutes a symbol of freedom under today's standards. It’s been 44 years since Vanuatu hasn’t belonged to any of the French colonies since it secured its independence in 1980. Every July 30th, the celebration takes place, and this year was no exception. Before this, the country was a French colony.

Mexico is a wonderful country with high historical and cultural value, beautiful landscapes, and advanced infrastructure. It's not surprising that it has been chosen as one of the best countries to live in. On the other hand, Spain is a European nation with modern social structures, enhanced security, and solid opportunities. However, Panama has climbed over these two nations to take the first position when it comes to the best places to live in 2024. At Mundo, we’re thrilled with this news because we have close connections to Panama and consider this jurisdiction a solid bet for nomad capitalist services. 

What comes to mind when we think about investments? Real estate, stocks and bonds, commodities, and cryptocurrency probably ring a few bells. Moreover, there's a type of investment that has been around for decades and is a symbol of wealth, security, and value. We are talking about the benefits of gold. Throughout history, to purchase gold was always seen as a plus. Historically, gold has been considered to be a guarantee of value and safety because it was supposed to be accepted anywhere. Having it would help open doors in case of war, persecution, or exile. Another significant advantage you get when you purchase gold is durability. 

We are an online magazine dedicated to the concept of financial freedom. Through our articles and information, we act as a link between the nomad capitalist and a variety of specific services. Each tool has its function. Companies are for generating money, banks are for operations, savings, and investment, real estate is a powerful sector in your portfolio, and second citizenship or residency is an outstanding possibility to enhance all these approaches. But what about trust services? Through a trust, financial safety can be achieved. Today we come back to one of our favorite topics analyzing why trust services are convenient.  

What would you say if we asked you to name one concept that is common to all times, countries, and cultures? When we go a little deeper into our society’s essence there are very few aspects that we can pinpoint as common denominators defining people's lives in the modern world, in Roman times, or in ancient Egypt. Probably the word that we will write next is the one that you least expected: tax. Whether we like it or not, it’s something that everyone accepts naturally, and this makes sense since taxes have been ingrained in society since the very beginning. 

Any American moving to Panama should have an idea of what to expect. While being a US citizen brings many benefits it can also be overwhelming especially when it comes to taxation. This is why a second residency is attractive, especially for those willing to find new horizons. If you want a second home after leaving America, citizenship by investment programs and residency options are available in different countries. From all of them, Mundo chooses this jurisdiction because of its unparalleled program called the Friendly Nations visa. Keep reading this article on Panama for Americans through this innovative residency.

The Mundo team is excited since Panama has chosen a new president. From July 1st, Mulino, Panama new head of state, is leading the nation. As promoters of financial freedom and this country as one of the main hubs for global investors, at Mundo, we care about the economy of Panama and its prospects for the future. Panama new president has five years to show what he can do to lead the country of the canal into a brighter future. When it comes to Panama economic development it's vital to analyze what's going on in the political sphere. 

Understanding our investment target is key when considering second citizenship. There are different programs available, and the decision can be challenging. Moreover, once you choose the country and the right program it’s time to consider the kind of investment (or donation) that you're willing to make. Today Mundo focuses on that particular moment when you choose where you will be putting your money and what benefits to expect. There are plenty of high-end real estate companies offering diverse opportunities. One of the best qualities of citizenship by investment is the ability to acquire luxury property. In some places, this means the person is willing to buy units in residential buildings. 

A great deal of uncertainty has been around since we first heard of the MoA between Eastern Caribbean states with citizenship by investment (CBI) programs. In and of itself the requirement of aligning the minimum investment threshold meant an increase in some of the programs. Enhanced follow-up and the commitment to promote information sharing and cooperation are also key points in the agreement. Three months later it's time to implement these conditions. Where is Saint Kitts? Where is St Lucia standing in this new stage of affairs? The stipulated date to implement changes was June 30th and some of these are already impacting the programs.

The Five Flag theory is closely connected to libertarianism. Concepts like financial and personal freedom find their origins two centuries ago and they point out to one same goal: reducing the state's control and prioritizing self-development. A classic libertarian is a person in favor of the free market, low tax policies, and respect for private property. In this philosophy, the Five Flag theory fits perfectly as it proposes diversification in both financial tools and approaches as well as in jurisdictions. Libertarianism is more popular than ever since its adepts are now involved in important political roles with the president of Argentina being a clear example.
