GoodbyeMatrix Residency Index

Moving abroad along the lines of flag theory raises the same questions again and again: which residency or second passport programmes exist, what do they require, how do they compare and how is a country taxed? This app answers them from the GoodbyeMatrix knowledge base, the same data that is behind the programme pages on goodbyematrix.com.

What it does

• Searches more than 170 public residency programmes in more than 80 countries (golden visa or residence by investment, digital nomad visa, independent means visa for retirees and passive income, active investor and entrepreneur visa) and 20 citizenship by investment programmes, filtered by country, region, type, budget, path to citizenship and dual citizenship.
• Shows one programme in detail or compares 2 to 5 side by side: minimum amount, physical presence, time to permanent residency and citizenship, dual citizenship, tax system of the country and the programme page.
• Summarises about 200 countries: tax system (residence-based, territorial, no income tax, remittance basis, citizenship-based) and the programmes in each country.
• Explains relocation and tax terms from the GoodbyeMatrix glossary, with the glossary page.
• Calculates indicative citizenship by investment costs for a specific family for 9 programmes: St Kitts and Nevis, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Lucia, Vanuatu, Sao Tome and Principe, Nauru and Argentina.
• Returns the GoodbyeMatrix consultation page when you want to discuss your individual case. Nothing is sent or booked.

Every answer names the GoodbyeMatrix programme page and the date of the source.

Limitations

• General information, not legal, tax or immigration advice; it does not decide eligibility.
• Cost figures are rounded indicative estimates, binding only after a pre-check.
• Answers in English or German.
