While most indexes - and most people - think of a passport only in terms of travel privileges, we realized that citizens of different countries deal with far different requirements to pay tax, live freely, comply with regulations, and avoid scrutiny when traveling. In that regard, the number of countries a passport holder may visit does not tell the whole story. The Nomad Passport Index speaks to those seeking personal freedom and financial prosperity in a changing world by more deeply analyzing the true value of each passport.

It was named after Fritzjof Nansen, the Norwegian explorer and delegate to the League of Nations. This passport successfully served hundreds of thousands of refugees as a document of identity for travel until the outbreak of World War II. While the International Refugee Organization (IRO) replaced the defunct Nansen Passport Office from 1930 to 1945, it had no authority to issue identity or travel documents to refugees. The 1951 treaty, Convention of the Status of Refugees, defined the rights of refugees.

    Aralık 2020 Cilt:4 Sayı:11 ULUSLAR ARASI EKONOMİ VE SİYASET BİLİMLEİ AKADEMİK ARAŞTIRMALAR DERGİSİ Cilt 4- Sayı:11- Evrensel Vatandaşlığa ve Özgürlüğe Giden Yol: Bayrak Teorisi ve Post Kapitalizm (Sayfa 1-21) Prof. Dr.Mustafa Şeref Akın Erzincan Binali Yıldırım Üniversitesi, İBBF, Ekonomi Bölümü, [email protected] ORCID ID: 0000-0002-1850-91181 Özet Bu makalede batı kapitalist sisteminde gelişen refah devletine karşı girişimci ve sermayedar sınıflarının göstermiş olduğu post-kapitalist tepki açıklanmıştır. Dünyayı tek bir yapı olarak görerek, farklı ülkelerin sistemlerinden faydalanmak üzere bayrak asılmasını savunduğu için bayrak teorisi adını almaktadır. Bayrak teorisi ilk olarak Harry Schultz tarafından önerilen vergi hukukundaki boşluklardan yararlanarak ve insanların hayatlarının her yönünü uluslararasılaştırarak “çatlaklardan geçmelerine” olanak tanıyan bir modeldir. Bunu uygulamak için, bireyin hayatındaki en az beş farklı yetki alanına (bayraklara) dikkatli seçimler yapması gerekmektedir. İlk bayrak vatandaşlıktır ve bu bayrak vatandaşlığa dayalı vergi sistemi olmayan bir ülkede dikilmelidir. İkinci bayrak varlıklardır. Bunun için istikrarlı, iyi yönetilen ülkeler ve finans kuruluşları seçilmelidir. Üçüncü bayrak ikametgâhtır. İkametgâh bayrağı için sıfır veya bölgesel vergi sistemlerine sahip ülkeler hedeflenmelidir. Dördüncü bayrak iştir. İş bayrağı için işletmenin ürettiği gelir türünü vergilendirmeyen bir ülke baz alınmalıdır. Beşinci bayrak oyun alanıdır. Bireyin zamanının çoğunu geçireceği oyun alanı için eğitim,

  • Nomad-Passport-Index-2017.Pdf
    ABOUT THIS INDEX Nomad Capitalist was founded by perpetual traveler, entrepreneur, and investor Andrew Henderson in 2012 to share his “notes from the field” about living, doing business, and investing overseas. Since then, www.nomadcapitalist.com has become the most-visited website on the topic of international diversification, attracting more than three million unique visitors per year. Nomad Capitalist assists six- and seven-figure entrepreneurs to legally reduce their business and income taxes by relocating overseas, obtain residence permits and citizenships in other countries for diversification, and invest in fast-growing international markets to grow their wealth faster. The Nomad Passport Index was designed to educate global citizens about the true value of the world’s citizenships. While most indexes compare only a passport holder’s ability to travel freely, we realized that citizens of different countries deal with far different requirements to pay tax, live freely, and avoid scrutiny when traveling. This index is designed to show the true value of citizenship in each country from the perspective of a high-achieving citizen who wants the freedom to minimize his or her tax obligations, diversify his or her wealth, and travel freely without judgment. METHODOLOGY The Nomad Passport Index ranks the value of citizenship in and, by extension the passport of, 199 countries and territories in the world based on five factors: • Visa-free travel - 50% of ranking • Taxation - 20% of ranking • Perception - 10% of ranking • Dual citizenship - 10% of ranking • Overall freedom - 10% of ranking Each country’s value in each category is given the indicated weighting to achieve a country’s total score using the formula ((Visa Free Travel x 0.5) + (Taxation x 0.2) + (Perception x 0.1) + (Dual Citizenship x 0.1) + (Overall Freedom x 0.1)).
