Thank you for the insight--which I missed.

Here is a review site for Nomad Capitalist detailing his scam methods (which has "positive" counterreviews--especially towards the top): https://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/nomadcapitalist.com (Control/Command + F = "Just don't do it" to find the gist of his scheme)

Here is a whole website calling out Nomad Capitalist being a scam: https://nomadcapitalistscam.com/

Here is a Reddit page of somebody who was scammed by Nomad Capitalist: https://www.reddit.com/r/digitalnomad/comments/ita1i4/a_disg...

Here is another Reddit page where people are skeptical of Nomad Capitalist: https://www.reddit.com/r/digitalnomad/comments/6wl962/is_and...

People on these pages have advised instead to get both accountants and lawyers on both sides (USA and country abroad) and looking into stuff yourself, instead of relying on businesses such as Nomad Capitalist and others. For the lawyer side, especially abroad, you will want both a business and immigration lawyer helping you out. The place to go for that is the US/Canada/Australia/UK/Ireland/etc. embassy to your target country's website, and get those lawyer lists. Obviously the list is not an endorsement of the lawyers, and lawyers can be sketchy. It is important to look for red flags such as painting an overly perfect picture of themselves, or positive counter-reviews (to negative reviews). My lawyer (for Croatian citizenship) was also head of an international commerce association, and therefore it meant that he probably had to deal with complicated laws, had to get along with people, and had to get things done.

I hope this helps.

None of these links have actual evidence that NC is a scam. They are all pretty much “he charges a lot of money for consulting fees and I don’t want to spend a lot of money.”

Typical for Reddit.
