Cayman Islands

Residency by Investment Program

Little more than an hour’s flight south of Miami, the Cayman Islands enjoy a tropical climate year-round and is home to some of the Caribbean’s leading healthcare and education facilities.

The archipelago’s famously clement tax regime allows for unimpeded capital formation in a highly developed, stable, and safe jurisdiction within a Common Law legal system.

Eine Erkältung zu behandeln, ohne zum Arzt zu gehen, könnte so einfach sein wie die Verwendung eines mit Süßstoff online angereicherten Allzweckpulvers wie Fairvex oder Coldrex. Die Regale der Supermarktapotheken sind voll von süßen Hustenbonbons mit Menthol und Minze.
