Visa (V)

La Vida Golden Visas has announced a significant 47% year-on-year increase in enquiries for overseas residency through investment, as a growing number of high-earning UK residents seek to mitigate rising domestic tax burdens.LONDON - March 26, 2025 - PRLog -- The sharp uptick in demand, recorded in Q1 2025, reflects ongoing momentum in the global investment migration industry – a trend that has accelerated since the UK's departure from the European Union. While initial interest in golden visa programmes stemmed largely from the desire for flexible European travel rights, today's enquiries are increasingly driven by long-term relocation strategies and wealth preservation in low-tax jurisdictions."We're seeing a clear shift in motivation," said Paul Williams, CEO of La Vida. "For many UK entrepreneurs and high earners, tax policy has reached a tipping point. The direction of travel is clear – taxes are increasing, and investors are responding by seeking greater control over their financial and personal futures through alternative residence options."UK Tax Burden Exceeds European NormsLa Vida's internal analysis, drawing on data from the OECD, reveals that UK-based business owners now face a marginal combined tax rate of 54.5% – comprising 25% corporation tax and 39.35% dividend tax. This places the UK among the most heavily taxed jurisdictions in Europe, surpassed only by Ireland and Denmark. By comparison, the average combined tax burden across Europe for business owners stands at 41.0%, highlighting a 13.5% gap that continues to widen.Tax on business owners rose significantly when corporation tax climbed from 19% to 25% in April 2023. The increase in National Insurance rates in April 2025 will further tighten the fiscal environment for business and wealth generators."The British government seems unaware of the agility of today's businesses," Williams added. "The companies choosing to leave the UK are often digital, mobile, and scalable. These are exactly the kinds of enterprises the UK should be nurturing – not driving away."Investment Migration: A Global Wealth StrategyLa Vida offers access to 18 major investment visa programmes, partnering with governments across Europe, the Americas, the Caribbean, and the Middle East. Collectively, these programmes generate over $20 billion annually in foreign direct investment and provide individuals and families with secure residency or citizenship status in exchange for passive investments.Among the most popular golden visa options for low taxation are:

Spain is considering a major tax policy change that could significantly impact international property buyers. The proposed legislation aims to increase the property purchase tax for non-EU citizens—potentially up to 100% of the property’s value. This means that buying a home in Spain could cost twice as much for non-EU investors in the near future. If you’ve ever thought about owning a home in Spain, now is the time to act before these new regulations take effect.

Escaping US tax as an American citizen is hard but not impossible. Some are turning to the nuclear option of renouncing their U.S. citizenship to escape U.S. taxes permanently. However, it needs careful planning to gain a second citizenship first and involves an exit tax where assets are over $2 million.UXBRIDGE, U.K. - Feb. 24, 2025 - PRLog -- Wealthy Americans are increasingly seeking to escape U.S. taxation through second citizenship and international relocation, according to La Vida Golden Visas, a leading global investment migration consultancy. This trend reflects growing concerns about the unique U.S. practice of citizenship-based taxation, which requires Americans to pay U.S. taxes regardless of where they live.Following the anticipated surge in investors exploring alternative residency options ahead of the 2024 U.S. elections, La Vida has observed a notable shift in client intentions toward permanent citizenship solutions rather than temporary residency."The evolution in U.S. investor confidence has been remarkable," notes Paul Williams, CEO of La Vida. "In 2016, American interest in citizenship or residency by investment was minimal. Today, it represents our largest market globally, with many high-net-worth individuals seeking legitimate paths to tax efficiency."The shift from cautious exploration of European residency programs, particularly Portugal's Golden Visa, to more decisive pursuit of full citizenship in nations like Antigua and Grenada demonstrates Americans' growing sophistication in global mobility planning.Under current U.S. tax law, American citizens must report and pay taxes on their worldwide income, regardless of where they reside. This includes salary, investment income, and business profits earned abroad. Even Americans living permanently overseas must file annual tax returns and potentially pay U.S. taxes in addition to taxes in their country of residence.However, a carefully planned exit strategy involving obtaining second citizenship before renouncing U.S. citizenship can provide a legal path to ending U.S. tax obligations. This process requires careful consideration of the expatriation tax (exit tax) and compliance with IRS and State Department procedures."Many of our clients are successful entrepreneurs and digital professionals whose businesses operate globally," explains Williams. "While their location-independent income streams offer flexibility, U.S. citizenship creates an ongoing tax burden that impacts their international competitiveness."The growing interest in citizenship-by-investment programs reflects a broader trend among high-net-worth Americans seeking to optimize their global tax position while maintaining access to international business and lifestyle opportunities. These programs offer a structured path to acquiring citizenship first and then residency in jurisdictions with more favorable tax treatment. It provides a legitimate solution for those looking to reduce their global tax exposure while ensuring compliance with all relevant regulations.
