The Most Overlooked Tax Havens in 2025: Second-Tier Powerhouses
When people think of tax havens, they imagine Monaco or the Cayman Islands. But in 2025, some of the best tax-free opportunities are found in second-tier jurisdictions—quiet, compliant, and cost-effective.
Why Second-Tier Havens Are Winning in 2025
While first-tier havens face growing scrutiny, second-tier countries offer:
- ✔️ Legal offshore structures
- ✔️ Zero or territorial taxation
- ✔️ Business-friendly policies
- ✔️ Less regulatory spotlight
Top 5 Overlooked Tax Havens

- Paraguay 🇵🇾 – Territorial tax & permanent residency for $5K
- Montenegro 🇲🇪 – Corporate tax 9%, and EU accession in motion
- Seychelles 🇸🇨 – Offshore IBCs + no capital gains or inheritance tax

How to Tap In Legally
To access these havens, set up the right corporate structure. For UAE or U.S. LLCs, remote formation with doola or StartGlobal is fast and fully compliant.
