Taxes
The Turks & Caicos Islands sits in our zero or very low tax tier: little to no personal income tax. The tier applies to every city here, and couples who cap tax below it will not see these cities in their results.
Source: OurNextCity tax tiers, assigned by hand from each country's top marginal personal income tax rate and overall tax reputation, with no fixed rate cut-offs. Coarse by design; not tax advice.
Residency and visas
Possible, with conditions. Realistic long-term routes are an investment-based Permanent Residence Certificate (buy, build or renovate a qualifying home) or a discretionary non-work annual residence permit for applicants who can show sufficient means, since there is no skill or points pathway.
The cheapest self-funded routes we track for the Turks & Caicos Islands:
