Common mistakes When Choosing a Country.

The right choice depends on:

• Your tolerance for bureaucracy

Without clarity, it’s easy to choose emotionally instead of strategically.

• Choosing based on holidays instead of residency reality
• Underestimating tax differences
• Ignoring healthcare structure
• Following influencer advice
