A city gets chosen on a feeling and a tax rate read on a forum, and the rest is discovered after the move. We model the whole thing at once: the jurisdiction, the passport, the cost, and the life. The address that ranks first for a founder with an exit ranks lower for an executive on salary, and neither ranks first for a family that needs a school and a direct flight home.
Effective tax on your real numbers, not headline rates. Visa path for your actual passports. Distance to the people you love.
Mobility, time to citizenship, dual nationality, and the investment routes that still exist in 2026.
Income tax, wealth tax, and the exit charge of the country you leave, compounded over 10 years on your numbers into one figure.
The school run, the water at 7am, the cost of an ordinary day. The part every spreadsheet forgets and every family remembers.
Move a slider and the world reorders itself. Every ranking is computed live from your inputs. Tap any city to see an ordinary day there.
Enter your actual position, not a rounded one. The dossier is computed from exactly these figures, so an approximate income or exit gives you an answer about someone else.
Pick none and the whole board is ranked. Pick one or more and the ranking is scored against those addresses only, so the spread comes back.
What an annual wealth tax would be levied on, alongside whatever the exit leaves. Leave it at zero and no wealth tax is modeled.
How long you expect to stay. An exit and the charge for leaving happen once, income and wealth tax repeat every year, so the horizon changes which of them decides the answer.
The ranking is already computed on what you set. This takes you to it.

Model note. Income tax uses a simplified marginal model on indicative 2026 headline brackets. For a US passport the floor is the 2026 federal table from IRS Revenue Procedure 2025-32, joint if you are married and single otherwise. Where a jurisdiction taxes a married household as a unit, that is modeled too: Germany splits the joint income in half and doubles the tax (§32a(5) EStG), Portugal divides by 2 and doubles (art. 69 CIRS), and France divides by parts, 2 for the couple and half a part for each of the first 2 children, a whole part from the third, with the gain from each child half part capped at €1,807 (art. 197 CGI). Everywhere else the figure is a single filer. It ignores social contributions, most deductions and treaties, and outside that floor it files everyone as a single taxpayer, so the joint treatment available in France, Germany and Portugal is not applied and a married reader keeps more there than this shows. Special regimes are flagged, not applied. US citizens carry US federal tax as a floor wherever they live. Where a jurisdiction levies an annual wealth tax it is applied, at the indicative 2026 top rate, to the assets you entered plus what the exit leaves after capital gains, and carried across the horizon you choose. Leave assets at zero and no wealth tax is modeled. The charge for leaving your home base is applied to the exit where one exists, and the French charge is shown as deferred for a destination inside the EU or the EEA, which is the only deferral that depends on where you go. A partner's passport is scored as a dependant or family route, never as a walk in, and never better than a straightforward permit. Children change the weight on schools by the age of the youngest, and every additional person in the household raises the weight on cost. Flight times are estimated from great circle distance. Net worth trajectory assumes 5% annual return on retained capital and spending scaled to local cost. Net millionaire inflow figures (HNWI, high net worth individuals) are country level, from the Henley Private Wealth Migration Report 2025, which recorded 142,000 millionaire relocations in 2025 and projected 165,000 for 2026. The 2026 edition replaced its inflow and outflow forecasts with a structural competitiveness framework and published no new migration numbers, so the 2025 report is still the current source for these figures. Every number is a published headline figure. The Private Dossier lists the questions the dataset leaves open.
Search any of the passports on the board and compare up to 3. Mobility, the realistic path to hold it, whether you can keep the one you have, and whether it taxes you after you leave.
The city on this page is a default, not your ranking. Set your settings in the engine and the dossier rebuilds on them.
The engine has already computed chapter 1, the ranking, and chapter 2, your settings and the method, on the numbers you set. An address opens them and receives the link, and one note if you leave them open. Nothing else unless you ask.
All 10 chapters on your settings: head to head, the 3 highest ranked in full, the published rules for your profile, the open questions, and the full board. Written automatically the moment you pay, usually ready within 2 minutes, as a private page and a PDF by email. The price is $500. The founding price, $250, holds until 31 October and does not return.
Written automatically once payment clears, usually ready within 2 minutes, as a private page and a PDF by email. The engine assembles it on the figures you entered. Nothing is scheduled and nothing waits on a person.
Payment is taken by our merchant of record, who invoices you and handles tax. Patrician never sees a card. Nothing is charged on this page.
Refundable within 7 days of delivery. One email, no reason needed.
Two are closing now, on published dates. Panama's $300K residence floor rises to $500K after 15.10.2026. A Puerto Rico Act 60 decree filed after 31.12.2026 pays 4% instead of 0%. Every door above closed on people who were still deciding.
Patrician publishes without a byline. Every figure taken from a public source is cited to that source, and every judgment that is ours carries a gold e. Check the first without trusting anyone. Read the second knowing exactly whose opinion it is. A name on the cover would ask you to believe a person rather than read the work, and the work is what is for sale.
Not a template with your name on it. Every figure below was computed on the income, the exit and the passports you entered, and it rewrites itself the moment you change one.

It depends on income, passports, household and home base, which is why the engine ranks all 100 addresses on your own numbers. On the default reading, the Gulf and Monaco lead, since income, gains and wealth are taxed at 0% there. The full ranking, with the top 3 from London, New York, Zurich, Dubai, Singapore and Tel Aviv, is on where should high earners live.
Among them the UAE, Singapore, Hong Kong, Israel, Austria, Cyprus, Mexico and most of the Caribbean levy none. Monaco, Portugal and most Swiss cantons levy one but charge a spouse and children nothing. Every country on the board, with what a child pays and the source, is on countries with no inheritance tax.
No. Patrician is an independent publisher. The engine gives you an indicative ranking on simplified 2026 rules, and the Dossier turns that into a written report, with the questions the dataset leaves open. Nothing on this site is advice and nobody at Patrician acts for you. Counsel signs off, we do not.
It uses headline marginal brackets per jurisdiction, treats US citizens as taxed worldwide, flags special regimes rather than applying them, and ignores social contributions, most deductions, wealth taxes, and treaties. It is built to rank, not to file. The dossier runs the full model on your settings.
Ten chapters on your exact profile: modeled tax across your top 3 on your income and your exit, the realistic visa or residence path for the passports you hold, the published rules for your profile, cost of the life, schools, housing corridors, flight times, and the questions the dataset leaves open. Read a sample.
The Dossier is priced at $500. The opening clients pay the founding price, $250, until 31 October 2026, midnight Zurich time. After that the price is $500 and the founding price does not return.
About 2 minutes. The Dossier is written automatically the moment payment clears. The page you paid from opens it by itself when it is ready, and the same link arrives by email with the PDF.

The ranking is your weights applied to 8 axes: net kept over the horizon you set, safety, schools, sun, distance from home, beauty, cost, and ease of entry. Move a slider and the order changes. Two people with the same income get different answers, which is the point.
One number on the card comes from a single outside source: the net millionaire flow, Henley & Partners' annual estimate of millionaires moving in and out of each country. It is one line per country, so it sits on the card as context, not as a score.
Everything the engine ranks on is built here. Tax is computed from each jurisdiction's own statutory brackets, surcharges, and inbound regimes, applied to your income and your exit, which is why Zug and Zurich give different answers and a headline rate never appears. The visa doors are read from each program's current rules and thresholds, jurisdiction by jurisdiction. Cost of the life, safety, schools, and sun hours are indexed against Zurich at 100 from public records. The wealth signals, watch houses, supercar dealers, and the street index, are scored by us, city by city, from what is actually on the ground.
All of it is indicative for 2026 and changes often. Nothing here is confirmed for any individual. The Dossier lists the questions the dataset leaves open.
An independent publisher, not a firm. It exists because the people who can live anywhere mostly hear from parties with something to sell: a banker who wants the assets in his booking center, an agent who earns on the property, a forum thread written by someone with a different passport. Patrician sells none of those. The engine ranks the board on your settings and the report is assembled automatically. Discretion is the product: no client is named and no case is published.
100 residence addresses across 48 countries and territories. Each page carries tax at $300K, $1M and $3M, capital gains, the route in, cost, safety, schools and sun. The questions, answered · Head to head · Passports · Guides
