Karellen Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 For €100,000 yearly tax committment, Italy will give HNWIs residency and, after 5 years, a european passport. While that's out of my league, if I was a HNWI it wouldn't be hard to choose between Italy and IOM for quality of life. IOM wins on personal security, which is important, but not much else.

Twitch Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 5 hours ago, Derek Flint said: New job advertised on Jobtrain. https://www.jobtrain.co.uk/iomgovjobs/Job/JobDetail?JobId=16749 - Senior Inward Investment Partner. "The is an exciting position within Locate Isle of Man where the main purpose of the post is to attract, and support the inward migration of, high net worth (HNW) individuals, their families and businesses to the Isle of Man." How would you go about selling the place to the good and the great right now? Looks like someone’s fixed term contract is coming to and end and DfE need to undertake due process to demonstrate a transparent recruitment process for the ‘replacement’. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non-Believer Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 "If you're very wealthy we'd like to hear from you. Our national finances are in shit order because we lost both control and sense of reality and proportion some time ago and so we'd like you to contribute some of your wealth to the state of affairs in order that we can continue unabated in the same vein. What can we offer in return for your generosity? Well, we offer an environment much less spoilt than England but we'll bend planning wherever possible to help you change that. We've got a private jet facility at the airport but we can't give you any assurances about actually being able to land or get airborne if the weather's not too clement or ATC need time out for tea and tiffin. We've got a hospital but there's been a few very public staffing issues of late, we'd appreciate it if you can go private across. Being wealthy, you'll have no problems with our electricity and gas prices of course, in fact the reasons for the former are something we'd rather not discuss. Our highly pensioned civil service is at your disposal and is one of the main reasons we need you. But to be honest we're desperate and any contributions would be gratefully received, we are actually the world's biggest charity bucket, please give generously". Yours ever Alf and Alex 1 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

germann Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I’d get kickbacks to find immigration loopholes to get HNWIs from places at the very top of the global corruption index over here, and then get out of Dodge before it goes completely GTA with Belarusian and Kyrgyz mobs in the ganglands down in Castle Mona Avenue. I’d then use my kickbacks & call in a few favors to buy a couple of tower blocks in Dubai Marina from the very same HNWIs. I’d then see out my days singing ‘oh land of our birth’ on a massive yacht crewed entirely by Uzbek pole dancers. I’m sure I could get it all signed off by Compliance in no time. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisy Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 20 minutes ago, CallMeCurious said: "You'll look forward to going back"? Just had visitors from USA and Canada - over for the TT (who would have thought ..but thats another thread). Both interested in re-locating here ..one interested particularly interested in starting a business here and one for locating his family here. Reason - because of the things that make the Isle of Man special .... the countryside, the people. Favourite place 'Old Peel' .. The dirty chinese granite and big 'relocate here' posters were a turn off. Why cant the IOM just be the best it can be. Stop trying to be an offshoot of Liverpool ... Safe environment, good healthcare and education are key. Rambling estates, crumbling healthcare and education and uncontrolled migration to boost numbers are not 2 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that there is no requirement for the applicants to be able to speak Russian or Mandarin or Cantonese. Mind you, we must be careful with some native Cantonese speakers – they could be Hong Kong’s freedom activists (not the usual kleptocrats/oligarchs clientele with oodles of wonga without verifiable sources of wealth but are enthusiastic Tory donors) who just might start bringing their awkward freedom aspirations to the Isle of Man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
