Description
We all have to live somewhere. In legal terms this is called our “domicile.” And it is the most serious privacy and freedom risk we face.
Your domicile does not have to be the place you go to sleep at night. If you’re not familiar with jurisdictional arbitrage, it involves legally using the benefits of jurisdictions to our advantage. South Dakota has long been used as the optimal US state for Americans to have nomad residency. Friendly to virtual addresses for state ID, welcoming to RVers and nomads, and with no state income tax, South Dakota is seemingly built to allow people to go about their lives with minimal interference.
If you are an American with the ability to travel and be a nomad, then why be domiciled in a place that doesn’t respect you? Privacy enthusiasts, in addition to freedom seekers, have for years made use of South Dakota residency. Unfortunately the current landscape of advice is of poor quality. Outdated information, “bro science” Reddit posts, and misleading information even from trusted expositors of South Dakota have created a quagmire of bad information that can at worst severely harm our prospects.
This course corrects that.
Created with careful study, practice of the process, but more importantly in consultation with Dallas of PrivacyPost.io, who does this for a living and knows more about the process than any other human on earth, the Definitive Guide to South Dakota Residency seeks to get you from A to Z of SD residency with utmost efficiency and with recognition of the hundreds of caveats that each can mess things up for you.
We start by walking through the residency process step-by-step, proceed to common pitfalls and strategies, and then explain how to use South Dakota for business and internationalization. Along the way hundreds of tidbits of advice–the result of helping hundreds of clients–and years of speaking directly with the South Dakota government is shared. The end result is an invaluable resource and the Definitive Guide to the topic.
The last lawyer I hired charged $300 for a single hour of expertise. While we’re not offering legal or financial advice, please realize that this kind of highly-specialized information requires an immense amount of work, billable hours, and vetting to get right and to present right. Becoming a nomad is going to require shelling out a bit of money throughout the process. We know people who, acting on bad nomad residency advice, have lost four-figure sums at a time. When you consider your savings from implementing a strategy like this, not the least of which is wiping out state income tax, then access to quality information becomes worth its weight in gold. It has certainly required a lot of work to gain it. I hope you understand – and we do not apologize that this will not be for everyone.
South Dakota Nomad Residency is the clear path that serious privacy and freedom seekers take. It is the path that Americans who live primarily internationally take. It is also a valid strategy for international people trying to have a presence in the US for business or other reasons. It’s a fantastic arbitrage opportunity that needs to be taken serious: as this course does from its introduction.
