The catch
- You have to actually live there. At least 183 days a year in-country — this becomes your main home, not a paper residency.
- Stays temporary. There's no built-in path to permanent residence — you'd need another route to settle for good.
- Tax isn't the draw. Headline personal tax sits around 30% — this isn't a low-tax move.
