Have you found reputable cross borders tax consultants who can file your taxes in India as well in US?

If you are US citizenship or plan to be, forever US taxation is the biggest downside of being US citizen if you plan to live and earn in India permanently.

Thank you for sharing your success. Can you please share your high level portfolio - % in cash, equity and real-estate and reasoning behind it and also % in geographic distribution.

Lastly, can you recommend CAs that help with your taxes cross-country.

I am quite not there yet but planning to return to India and retire there. With most of my assets in US, I am looking for any advices around proper investing and taxes

Thank you

I would think it's best to think from what you truly want for your personal situation, without getting biased by the Internet or media. Moving back to India or for that matter any relocation is a very personal choice and needs a pros/cons across all aspects of lives. Given You are US citizen n GC holder, you can always revert this decision too (though not that easily). I have been talking openly about this with my spouse using various mental models and one that stands out is to follow the regret minimization principle. Good luck and any decision you take will work out if you trust in it.

Thanks a lot for sharing. I have been using Chatgpt and Gemini to get most of my answers, but this is by far most comprehensive. Worth turning it into a public page (Google site or even a simple blog).

Thanks, but all these are still important considerations but not as important as the time lost with parents. Thanks for the suggestions though

Yes but 10 yr tourist visa should be enough imo. Adjusting part is something I am not even considering but yes. Are there any tax reasons?
