According to preliminary official results, with 8,077 of 8,392 polling stations counted, the Student List won 52.54% of the vote and the United Serbia coalition led by Vučić's Serbian Progressive Party 39.29%. Turnout reached 68.78%, the highest in more than 30 years. The same night Vučić conceded defeat. https://murblz.com/en/blog/paraguayan-company-car-in-brazilhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/paraguayan-company-car-in-brazilMon, 26 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamA car registered to a Paraguayan company enters Brazil as a tourist's car when the driver lives in Paraguay and is only visiting. For a Brazilian, that takes three steps before the first trip: Paraguayan residence, a real move and a tax exit from Brazil. On the road you carry the car's papers, the company's power of attorney to drive it and take it out of the country, your driving licence and insurance valid in MERCOSUR. https://murblz.com/en/blog/paraguay-company-for-brazilianshttps://murblz.com/en/blog/paraguay-company-for-braziliansMon, 26 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert team“A company in Paraguay pays only 10%”: the phrase is right about the company's tax and says little about the rest: what the owner pays, what it costs to sell services to Brazil and what the Brazilian Federal Revenue requires from people with a company abroad. https://murblz.com/en/blog/leaving-brazil-tax-residencyhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/leaving-brazil-tax-residencyMon, 26 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamMoving abroad does not change your status with Brazil's Federal Revenue on its own. Until you report your departure, you stay a Brazilian tax resident and declare everything you earn worldwide in Brazil. The definitive exit, the saída definitiva, closes that door: from the departure date, Brazil taxes only Brazilian-source income, and only at source. https://murblz.com/en/blog/brazil-election-2026-resultshttps://murblz.com/en/blog/brazil-election-2026-resultsMon, 26 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamOn Sunday, 25 October 2026, Brazil elected a president, and it elected the same one. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva took 51.79% of the runoff vote, or 64.26 million votes, against 48.21% and 59.83 million for Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son. Three weeks earlier, on 4 October, Lula had lost the first round, 45.16% to 47.03%. Overturning that deficit in twenty days in a country the size of a continent is a story Brazilian political scientists will be unpacking for a long time. And two days before his 81st birthday, Lula secured a fourth presidential term. https://murblz.com/en/blog/brazil-dividend-tax-2026https://murblz.com/en/blog/brazil-dividend-tax-2026Mon, 26 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamFor 30 years Brazil did not tax dividends. Law 15,270 of 26 November 2025 changed that from 1 January 2026. In exchange, people earning up to R$ 5,000 a month no longer pay income tax, and those earning up to R$ 7,350 pay less. According to official data, the exemption reaches about 16 million people, and the minimum tax on high incomes about 141 thousand taxpayers. https://murblz.com/en/blog/best-cities-to-live-in-paraguayhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/best-cities-to-live-in-paraguayMon, 26 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamParaguay draws Brazilians with low taxes, simple residence for MERCOSUR citizens and a lower cost of living. The choice of city then decides almost everything else: the rent, the children's school, the travel time back to Brazil and the kind of property worth buying. https://murblz.com/en/blog/schengen-border-checks-extendedhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/schengen-border-checks-extendedSun, 25 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamThe Schengen area was designed as a Europe without passport checks. In November 2026, passports will be checked at internal borders in seven countries at once: France, Germany, Austria, Poland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway, while Italy checks arrivals from Slovenia. On 22 October 2026, France formally notified the European Commission that it is extending controls at all its internal borders from 1 November 2026 to 30 April 2027. For France this is less news than habit: checks there have run without a break since November 2015, now into their eleventh year. https://murblz.com/en/blog/uk-investor-visa-2026https://murblz.com/en/blog/uk-investor-visa-2026Sat, 24 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamFive million pounds, roughly 6.7 million dollars - that is what the British government was planning to ask for the right to live in the country and settle a few years later. The money would not have gone into London flats: it would have flowed into funds run by the state development bank, which backs young technology companies. It sounded like the most expensive and least glamorous golden visa in the world. It did not even get that far. https://murblz.com/en/blog/apple-developer-account-for-a-companyhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/apple-developer-account-for-a-companySat, 24 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamEvery app in the App Store and on Google Play shows who sells it. On a personal developer account that is your own name, and once the app earns money the stores also publish your contact details: the App Store shows EU buyers your address, phone number and email, and Google Play shows your full address. On an organisation account the seller is your company, and the store shows its name and address. https://murblz.com/en/blog/turks-and-caicos-residency-by-investmenthttps://murblz.com/en/blog/turks-and-caicos-residency-by-investmentFri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamThere is still one place in the world where buying a beach house can end with a British passport. It is the Turks and Caicos Islands, a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean just south of the Bahamas. A US$300,000 home on one of the smaller islands buys permanent residence for life, and with it a road to territory citizenship and then to full British citizenship. https://murblz.com/en/blog/us-visa-revokedhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/us-visa-revokedThu, 22 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamA US visa in your passport no longer means you will get into the United States. On October 20, 2026 the US State Department said it had revoked more than 300,000 visas since January 2025. That is roughly the population of Pittsburgh and, in the words of department spokesperson Tommy Pigott, faster than any administration in history. https://murblz.com/en/blog/vanuatu-passport-visa-free-countrieshttps://murblz.com/en/blog/vanuatu-passport-visa-free-countriesWed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamWith a Vanuatu passport you can enter 85 of 227 countries and territories without a prior visa: Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Moldova, Montenegro, Peru, Panama and the Dominican Republic, with a visa on arrival in the Maldives, Egypt and Jordan.

From November 3, 2026 the points are back, and more generous than before. There is one condition: the reward goes only to people whose occupation pays at least 30% above the national median wage in Canada. https://murblz.com/en/blog/argentina-passport-visa-free-countrieshttps://murblz.com/en/blog/argentina-passport-visa-free-countriesWed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamWith an Argentine passport you can enter 169 of 227 countries and territories without a prior visa: the Schengen area, China, Japan, Singapore, the UAE and all of Latin America, and the UK, South Korea and New Zealand with an electronic travel authorisation.

Between 2021 and 2024 foreigners without Portuguese status visited hospital emergency departments more than 330,000 times without their costs being covered. Debts from such patients are estimated at up to €15 million. https://murblz.com/en/blog/eu-citizenship-by-investmenthttps://murblz.com/en/blog/eu-citizenship-by-investmentSun, 18 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamNo EU country sells citizenship for investment in 2026: the last programme, Malta's, was abolished on 24 July 2025 after a ruling by the EU Court of Justice. For an investor, the main route to an EU passport is now a residence permit for an investment from $280,000, followed by naturalisation after 5-10 years of living in the country. https://murblz.com/en/blog/easiest-countries-to-get-citizenshiphttps://murblz.com/en/blog/easiest-countries-to-get-citizenshipSun, 18 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamThe easiest country to get citizenship is the one whose route matches what you already have: money, time, ancestry or a spouse. By investment, Vanuatu, Nauru and the Caribbean states grant passports fastest, in 1-6 months from $90,000. Without investment, Argentina and Peru have the shortest wait: 2 years of living there. https://murblz.com/en/blog/spain-grandchildren-lawhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/spain-grandchildren-lawSun, 18 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert team163,020 people received Spanish passports under the grandchildren law, yet cannot vote in the November 29, 2026 election.

In 2026 almost all of these figures are open at city halls, statistics offices and weather services. Start with the neighborhood: the gap inside one city is often wider than between cities. https://murblz.com/en/blog/greece-golden-visa-revokedhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/greece-golden-visa-revokedSat, 17 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamFor years Greece's golden visa was sold as the EU's most affordable residence permit through property. In October 2026 it turned out that some buyers had paid even less than the law allows, and the state noticed. On October 15, at the annual real estate conference in Athens, Migration and Asylum Minister Thanos Plevris put it plainly: permits will be taken away. https://murblz.com/en/blog/keep-uk-bank-account-moving-abroadhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/keep-uk-bank-account-moving-abroadSat, 17 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamYes, you can keep your UK bank account when you move abroad. No UK law asks you to close it, and the account continues under your bank's terms. Each bank decides which countries of residence it serves, so the first step is to give the bank your new address and tax residence. Below: notice periods, tax on interest and reporting. https://murblz.com/en/blog/dv-2027-green-card-lottery-dateshttps://murblz.com/en/blog/dv-2027-green-card-lottery-datesFri, 16 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamThe world's best-known lottery was nearly cancelled without a single executive order. The US State Department simply did not open registration in the fall of 2025, then argued it was too late to open it at all. On October 14, 2026 a federal judge in San Diego disagreed: 55,000 green cards for 2027 will be drawn after all. https://murblz.com/en/blog/moving-abroad-with-familyhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/moving-abroad-with-familyFri, 16 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamMoving abroad with family in 2026 is easiest through programs where the spouse and children receive residence together with the main applicant: digital nomad visas in Spain, Portugal, Greece, Cyprus and Malta, long-stay visas in Thailand and Malaysia, residence in Mexico and Argentina, and residence by investment in Greece, the United Arab Emirates and Costa Rica. Below is who in the family is included, how much income a family needs, what the fees are and how long it takes. https://murblz.com/en/blog/panama-removed-from-eu-blacklisthttps://murblz.com/en/blog/panama-removed-from-eu-blacklistFri, 16 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamOn 9 October 2026 the Council of the European Union, meeting as finance ministers in Luxembourg, removed Panama from the list of non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes. Vietnam left the list at the same time. Both countries moved to the grey list, the European Union list of cooperating jurisdictions that still have commitments to meet. https://murblz.com/en/blog/germany-exit-tax-2026https://murblz.com/en/blog/germany-exit-tax-2026Fri, 16 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamWhen you give up your home or habitual residence in Germany, your unlimited German tax liability ends. On that day the tax office treats your company shares as sold at market value, even though you keep them. The difference between that value and what you paid for the shares is a gain on paper, and it is taxed as if you had sold them. https://murblz.com/en/blog/company-abroad-living-in-germanyhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/company-abroad-living-in-germanyFri, 16 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamA company is fully liable to German corporate tax when its registered office or its place of management is in Germany. The place of management is the centre of top-level management: the place where the director makes the key decisions. So a company registered in Dubai, Cyprus or Estonia whose only director runs it from a home office in Germany is managed from Germany, and its whole profit falls under German corporate tax. https://murblz.com/en/blog/account-abroad-despite-schufahttps://murblz.com/en/blog/account-abroad-despite-schufaFri, 16 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamSCHUFA is a German credit bureau: German banks and lenders report accounts, loans and payment problems to it and ask it for a score. A bank in another country looks at your passport, your address and the reason you need an account in that country, and the right to a basic account in France and Germany does not depend on entries in credit registers. https://murblz.com/en/blog/second-passport-ukhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/second-passport-ukThu, 15 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamA second passport in the UK means one of two things. The first is a second British passport: HM Passport Office issues an additional passport to people whose work or travel needs it, for example while the first one sits at an embassy for a visa. The second is a second citizenship: the UK allows dual citizenship, so a British citizen who takes another country's passport stays British. https://murblz.com/en/blog/moving-abroad-from-ukhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/moving-abroad-from-ukThu, 15 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamMoving abroad from the UK takes two things: the right to live in your new country, and a handful of steps at home. British citizenship stays with you wherever you live. Before you go, you tell HMRC, your council and the offices that pay your benefits, decide about voluntary National Insurance, and set up your State Pension and overseas voting. https://murblz.com/en/blog/work-in-azerbaijan-2026https://murblz.com/en/blog/work-in-azerbaijan-2026Thu, 15 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamAzerbaijan lets company heads and 51% founders, entrepreneurs, spouses of citizens and the information technology specialists of technology park residents work without a permit, and an employer can obtain your work permit while you are still abroad.

Then hiring moves onto one online platform with a new work entry visa. Here is who can work straight away, how an employer hires you, and how to work for yourself as an entrepreneur. https://murblz.com/en/blog/working-holiday-visahttps://murblz.com/en/blog/working-holiday-visaThu, 15 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamA working holiday visa lets people aged 18 to 30, or up to 35 with some passports, live in another country for a year and pay for the trip with temporary jobs. The four main programmes are in Australia, the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Canada, and each is open only to the passports on its own list. Australia gives up to 3 years, the UK 2 years plus a third for Australians, Canadians and New Zealanders, and New Zealand 12 months or up to 36 for UK citizens. Canada closes its 2026 season with the final round of invitations in the week of 19 October 2026. https://murblz.com/en/blog/vezd-v-kazahstan-dlya-rossiyanhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/vezd-v-kazahstan-dlya-rossiyanThu, 15 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamOver the summer, Kazakhstan looked set to charge visa-free visitors for entry: about 10 dollars online, twice that at the border, starting as early as 1 November 2026. On 10 October 2026 the government settled the question with Resolution No. 890. The outcome is surprisingly gentle: the authorization is free, at zero tenge, and travellers will be turned away without it only from 1 July 2027. There is no entry fee. There is a new compulsory step, and it pays to get used to it early. https://murblz.com/en/blog/us-expat-taxhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/us-expat-taxThu, 15 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamUS citizens and green card holders pay US tax on worldwide income wherever they live. Abroad, though, the bill is usually zero or close to it: in 2026 up to $132,900 of earned income per person is excluded from tax, and income tax paid in your country of residence is credited against US tax. What remains is filing the return and the foreign account reports on time. https://murblz.com/en/blog/south-africa-tax-residency-cessationhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/south-africa-tax-residency-cessationThu, 15 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamYou cease South African tax residence in one of three ways: you stop being ordinarily resident, you spend at least 330 full days in a row outside the country, or a double tax agreement makes you resident of another country. You then tell SARS on the RAV01 form on eFiling, send a declaration with supporting documents, and account for the exit charge: a deemed disposal of your worldwide assets except South African property. From then on South Africa taxes only your South African income. https://murblz.com/en/blog/second-passport-nigeriahttps://murblz.com/en/blog/second-passport-nigeriaThu, 15 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamA Nigerian by birth can hold a second citizenship and stay Nigerian. The fastest route is Caribbean citizenship by investment: Dominica from $200,000, Antigua and Barbuda from $230,000, Saint Lucia from $240,000 and St Kitts and Nevis from $250,000, with decisions in about 3 to 6 months and the whole application run from home. The second route is citizenship through residence, which takes years of living in the new country. https://murblz.com/en/blog/renounce-us-citizenshiphttps://murblz.com/en/blog/renounce-us-citizenshipThu, 15 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamYou renounce US citizenship in person at a US embassy or consulate abroad: two interviews with a consular officer, the oath of renunciation at the second one, and a Certificate of Loss of Nationality approved in Washington. Since 13 April 2026 the fee is $450, down from $2,350. Two things come before the oath: a second citizenship and a clean record with the IRS for the last 5 years. https://murblz.com/en/blog/philippines-dual-citizenshiphttps://murblz.com/en/blog/philippines-dual-citizenshipThu, 15 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamThe Philippines allows dual citizenship. A natural-born Filipino who became a citizen of another country gets Philippine citizenship back by taking an oath of allegiance under Republic Act 9225 of 2003, and keeps the other passport. Unmarried children under 18 become Filipino together with the parent. More than 150,000 people had applied by 2018, most of them Filipino-Americans. https://murblz.com/en/blog/japan-dual-citizenshiphttps://murblz.com/en/blog/japan-dual-citizenshipThu, 15 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamJapan does not allow dual citizenship for adults. A Japanese national who takes another citizenship by choice loses Japanese nationality automatically, and a foreigner who naturalises in Japan gives up the previous one. Children born with two nationalities keep both for a while and then choose: by age 20 if they became dual nationals before 18, or within 2 years if they became dual nationals at 18 or later. https://murblz.com/en/blog/india-dual-citizenshiphttps://murblz.com/en/blog/india-dual-citizenshipThu, 15 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamIndia does not allow dual citizenship: an Indian who takes another country's citizenship stops being an Indian citizen at that moment. Instead of a second passport, India offers the Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) card, a lifelong visa with the right to live, work, study and buy a home in India. For families with Indian roots and for foreign spouses of Indians, it covers almost everything a second passport would. https://murblz.com/en/blog/new-zealand-citizenshiphttps://murblz.com/en/blog/new-zealand-citizenshipWed, 14 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamNew Zealand citizenship is granted after 5 years on a residence visa, with at least 1,350 days in New Zealand over those 5 years and at least 240 days in each year, plus spoken English and good character.

To live longer you need a residence permit: from 1 November 2026 you apply online, pay a $420 (AMD 150,000) review fee and get a decision within 30 days. https://murblz.com/en/blog/how-to-move-to-gibraltarhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/how-to-move-to-gibraltarWed, 14 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamThe simplest way to move to Gibraltar in 2026 is through work. Since 14 July 2026 you need a contract of at least a year paying $50,000 (£37,500) or more, a home in Gibraltar and to be 55 or under. Wealthy people who do not work locally move through a tax status from $6.6 million in assets. https://murblz.com/en/blog/german-pension-abroadhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/german-pension-abroadWed, 14 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamIn 2026 a German pension is paid to any country: German pension insurance sends about 1.8 million pensions a year to more than 150 countries. In the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland it is paid in full, exactly as in Germany. Once a year you confirm you are alive, while tax and health cover depend on your new country. https://murblz.com/en/blog/study-abroad-2026https://murblz.com/en/blog/study-abroad-2026Wed, 14 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamIn 2026 studying abroad is cheapest in Turkey and Germany: the Turkish government scholarship covers tuition and housing, and German public universities are almost everywhere free. For the visa you must show living funds: $13,400 a year in Germany, $11,400 in Italy and $16,500 in Canada, excluding tuition. https://murblz.com/en/blog/netherlands-residence-ankara-agreementhttps://murblz.com/en/blog/netherlands-residence-ankara-agreementWed, 14 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000Murblz expert teamIn 2026 Turkish citizens and their families get Netherlands residence under the Ankara Agreement on easier terms: the self-employed need no points system, employees need no recognised sponsor, the permit fee is $96 instead of $474, and a partner can join from age 18. After 5 years in the country you can apply for a Dutch passport.
