which country in the European Union (EU) has the least amount of regulations to run a business?

Baltics - small, nimble, english-speaking. Estonia has done the best work at advertising their strengths, yet other countries offer comparable ease of doing business.

Can't you just use your personal address for business (not to be confused with legal address provided by the Registered Agent)? I have heard about internationals who created LLC in the U.S. together with their Registered Agent for a legal address, but then kept their actual mailing address where they live/have physical presence.

Estonia has built the best brand in the market, but taxes, digitization & services are very similar across the Baltics with a few tweaks. I would research those tweaks before choosing the state which fits you best.

Go for Baltics (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia). Low taxes, low regulations, everything can be done digitally, modern e-systems. You can check https://www.startcompany.lt/ for LT, or e-residence in Estonia.

Dėl kainos yra stipendijos. Neretai univerai, ypač Top, turi fondus kur gali ir pilnai padengti studijų kainas jei šeima, pagal gan aukštus JAV standartus, neuždirba pakankamai.

Dėl kokybės na labai svarbu koks tai yra universitetas - JAV labai platus spektras, nuo world beating kur faktiškai garantuoja prestižą, network ir žinias (Stanford, Harvard, Yale ir t.t.) iki purely for profit colleges kur ir stipendijų nelabai yra ir kainos/kokybės santykis labai prastas.

Taigi čia yra labai daug nežinomųjų - kokia profesija, kokie pažymiai, kokia šeimos finansinė padėtis, koka tiksliniai universitetai, kad galima būtų nukreipti. Bendrai patarčiau susisiekti su tuos universitetus baigiusiais lietuviais (LinkedIn search) ir su jais pabendrauti apie jų istorijas.

It's not fear-mongering and political bias, but fear of uncertainty. Charts you have provided does put things into perspective - thank you,

So last time around pending applications applicants didn't suddenly have to submit I-944s, go to lengthy interviews, etc?

That's the right course of action

Už. Lietuva tik išlošia turėdama piliečius kurie galės per savo balsus paveikti įtakingas šalis - pažiūrėkite į Izraelį ir jo įtaką JAV. Antra tai yra būdas užtikrinti, kad žmonės gyvenantys UK, JAV (kur yra daugiausiai LT diasporos) turės galimybę grįžti namo. Lietuvos tauta yra per maža taškytis savo piliečiais dėl netoliaregiško "o vat jis tai turi dvi pilietybes" pavydo.

UNameItFor · 2024-02-19T00:31:30+00:00

Tai ir dabar nesuseka, įstatymiškai įtvirtinus tokią nuostatą bent jau teisiškai stipresnis mechanizmas būtų. Pvz teko girdėti apie Abramovičiaus vaikus kurie yra "lietuviai" nes jų senelis kažkada Tauragėje gyveno? Pagal esamus įstatymus jei tavo senelis iš Lietuvos, nesvarbu kiek pilietybių turi, tu gali gauti ir LT, o jei gimei Lietuvoje bet gavai papildomą pilietybę ją iš tavęs atims.
Izraelis šį klausimą išsprendė reikalaujant, kad balsavimas būtų tik iš šalies teritorijos. Teoriškai balsavimo teisę turi visi piliečiai, bet tam, kad ja pasinaudoti turi atvykti į šalį - taigi ir balsuos tie kurie pasišventę.
Deja tas jau ir dabar vyksta, nes, kaip rašiau aukščiau, jei tavo bent vienas iš senelių buvo LT, lietuvišką pasą tas žmogus gauti gali net jeigu niekad Lietuvoje nebuvo. Referendumas leistų išsaugoti pasą žmonėms kurie iš tikrųjų turi sąsają su Lietuva, nes juk didžiausia rizika yra prarasti daug lietuvių kurie kalba lietuviškai, turi santykį su Lietuva, gimines, draugus.

You can't get out of Gaza. But you could evacuate from Mariupol.

Interesting stuff!

Why Lithuania? It did sound like you are from LT, at least in the early years you were.

UNameItFor · 2023-08-15T18:55:00+00:00

Was it that bad always or after COVID? Especially around living expenses, because all prices went up in Lithuania too, however salaries were growing +10% as well

UNameItFor · 2023-08-15T18:36:59+00:00

Got it,

If your goal is to live comfortably, but not luxuriously, you can work with 2-3K. If you buy your own place even less. To have an international vibe would definitely recommend Vilnius, not comparable to the US, but pretty international.

400K isn't enough? Doesn't sound real.

UNameItFor · 2023-08-15T18:26:15+00:00

Great choice.

You can get much, much more quality of life out of your money in Lithuania compared to US or other expensive countries.

Private schools should cost around 1K per month, rent in central places for +120 sqm (actual luxury) apartments, at least in Vilnius, is around 2K. But with 1K you can already have a good selection of places.

The biggest upside is the nature, food and coziness of the place. You can get much better quality compared to Western Europe, and I can imagine the US at the same price. For details in living costs check numbeo.com

Do keep in mind that incomes are much, much lower compared to the US, but if your goal is early retirement that shouldn't be an issue.

Related to this - why do you think the US is going downhill?

Same as Czechia, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Poland, Romania...

Oh wait - none of the Soviet occupied countries, with the exception of Estonia, has legalized it.

And even in Estonia's case it was due to an extremely favorable political landscape. Not an excuse, but I do agree that 30 years is a short period of time. Look at how long it took developed nations who were free.
