Deutschland braucht jährlich rund 400.000 Zuwandernde, um den Fachkräftebedarf zu decken – doch wie gelingt echte Integration jenseits von Recruiting und Sprachkursen? In dieser Folge spricht Tina Stavemann, Beraterin für Willkommenskultur und Gründerin von Mutua Integration, über die entscheidenden Erfolgsfaktoren, wenn Unternehmen internationale Fachkräfte nicht nur gewinnen, sondern auch langfristig halten wollen. Du erfährst: - warum Zuwanderung kein „Nice-to-have“, sondern überlebenswichtig ist - wie interkulturelles Wissen Missverständnisse vermeidet und Beziehungen stärkt - welche Rolle Wohnen, Familie und soziale Integration wirklich spielen - wie das strukturierte Mentoring-Programm Unternehmen Schritt für Schritt begleitet - warum Deutschland für Expats (noch) kein Sehnsuchtsziel ist – und was wir ändern müssen Eine inspirierende Folge für alle, die verstehen wollen, wie gelebte Willkommenskultur zum echten Standortvorteil wird.

As an expat, when you're picking the right country for your “Plan B” or for your family, it's important to get the details right - especially when you are investing in a country as a way to secure your citizenship.In Part 2 of my conversation with Sandeep Nair, COO of Vancis Capital, we get into the finer details of residency and citizenship by investment. And, importantly, why it's become such a hot topic for internationally mobile clients, including crypto holders looking for certainty in an increasingly regulated world.We talk through where these programmes are actually heading, which countries are actively launching new options, and why some jurisdictions are becoming more complex rather than simpler.Sandeep also explains how these programmes can work economically for countries, what investors might realistically expect in terms of timelines and returns, and why trying to DIY this area (with or without ChatGPT) can create more problems than it solves.As ever, the key thing to note in our chat is that aligning the programme with your lifestyle, family, tax and long-term plans matters far more than chasing a headline benefit.Main Topics Discussed in this EpisodeCitizenship and Residency by Investment: Where Things Are Heading: Sandeep explains how these programmes are evolving globally, with more countries launching options and others tightening rules as demand increases.Why These Programmes Appeal to Crypto Holders: We discuss how increased regulation of crypto is driving investors to look for jurisdictions that recognise crypto and offer more favourable tax treatment.Economic Impact on Countries Offering These Schemes: The conversation looks at how citizenship and residency programmes can generate significant government revenue, particularly for smaller economies.Returns, Risks and Realistic Expectations for Investors: Sandeep breaks down what investors might actually get back financially, how returns differ by jurisdiction, and why these are not risk-free investments.Matching the Programme to the Individual, Not the Other Way Around: We focus on the importance of starting with lifestyle, family, tax and long-term goals rather than trying to force-fit a programme that looks good on paper.Get in touch with Sandeep Nair:Website: https://www.VancisCapital.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/vanciscapital/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sandeep-nair-0461974b/*****Use the link below and quote "Expat Taxes" when registering with Currencies Direct to receive a €50 One4All or Amazon voucher when you transfer €5000 or more in your first six months with Currencies Direct.*Click here for a special offer from our sponsor, Currencies Direct******If you loved this episode or have a similar story, we'd love to hear from you!

Women's Herstory Month Greetings Glocal Citizens! If it's March then it's that time again for a month of conversations centering women's stories and experiences. This week, we're also kicking off the series with the launch of our Glocal Citizens x Black Women in Real Estate collaboration--Borderless Building. Founded in 2019, Black Women in Real Estate (BWRE) is an organization that aims to bring together black women in property, creating opportunities for upcoming talent and organizing workshops for those already in the industry. Througout the year, we're teaming up with BWRE to showcase the personal and professional journeys of Black women in the real estate industry; highlight how Black women in the industry invest and structure value in/around land/property across global markets; and offer valuable insight into the business/operational functions in the real estate industry to inspire a spirit of land stewardship. All ideas you'll hear in this week's conversation. Kicking off the series is BWRE Founder, Hanna Afolabi. A few years after founding BWRE, Hanna found herself furthering her entrepreneurial journey with Mood and Space (MAS), a development company supporting clients in embedding social value in their development vision and strategy as well as efficiently managing processes delivering community focused building and urban neighborhoods. Prior to setting up MAS, Hanna was a Development Director for Balfour Beatty Investments seconded into East Wick and Sweetwater Ltd a joint venture with Places for People.

As the penultimate episode in my 2026 Black History Month series, I revisit the stories of African American performers who, for a variety of reasons, including seeking to improve their increase their opportunities as artists of color, made their way to Europe in the 1950s and 1960s. Today the focus is on the low-voiced males, baritones, bass-baritones, and basses, in a variety of musical genres, who found success overseas. Surely the most famous of these is the great operatic baritone Lawrence Winters, who leads off the episode, but there were many others as well, some in opera, some in pop music, and some in that magical and confusing world in between, who also experienced life in its fullness, not just in Germany, but in Austria, Italy, and Norway as well. A few of these singers, among them Kenneth Spencer and Thomas Carey, are still somewhat remembered today. Far too many others are virtually forgotten. Among those we also discuss William Ray, Owen Williams, Henry Wright, William Pearson, George Goodman, and Allan Evans. The musical selections are primarily focused on pop music and crossover, with some fascinating exceptions. Even within this somewhat circumscribed musical palette, however, there is much variety to be experienced, and celebrated. Countermelody is the podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing. By clicking on the following link (https://linktr.ee/CountermelodyPodcast) you can find the dedicated Countermelody website which contains additional content including artist photos and episode setlists.

Robert Norris has lived in Japan since 1983, mostly in Dazaifu, near Fukuoka, Kyushu. After retiring from university teaching in 2016, he returned to his long-standing passion for writing. The result was a heartfelt memoir about his life – and his mother's – titled: The Good Lord Willing and the Creek Don't Rise: Pentimento Memories of Mom and Me (Tin Gate, 2023). In this episode with John Ross, we hear about Robert's decades in Japan, from his early days learning Japanese through a local softball team, to his later academic career, including his time as a university dean. Naturally, the conversation also turns to books, and some of his favorite works of Japanese fiction. Books & Authors mentioned: The Woman in the Dunes by Abe Kōbō (published in Japanese in 1962; English edition, and film adaptation 1964).No Longer Human by Dazai Osamu (Original Japanese title Ningen Shikkaku, published 1948, English. Edition 1958).The Breaking Jewel by Oda Makoto (English edition, 2003, translated by Donald Keene) Sakaguchi Ango's short story “The Idiot” ("Hakui," published 1946). In the discussion, Robert Norris referred to the "Buraiha" (無頼派 “decadent school” literary movement), comparing these post-WWII writers to the Beat Generation in the US. The school is associated with Dazai Osamu, Sakaguchi Ango, and contemporaries. Learn more about Robert Norris and his writing at his website.

In today's episode, I'm joined by Susan, a deeply ethical, no-bypassing kind of soul whose spirituality is lived, embodied, and rooted in reality. Susan is a former human rights lawyer with years of work connected to refugees and forced displaced people, and she brings that same clarity into the most intimate terrain of all: the body, belonging, and the question of home..After a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment journey that changed her body and mind in profound ways, Susan found herself asking a question many of us quietly carry, especially after illness, loss, or a major life transition: what happens when the place you've lived the longest no longer feels like home? From that question, she named something powerful: rehoming yourself..Together we explore what rehoming means on multiple levels, returning to the body as our first home after breast cancer, rebuilding trust through chemo brain fog and hormonal shifts, and navigating identity when you've lived across countries, languages, and systems that don't always welcome you. .We also speak about Switzerland and Geneva as a “transit city,” the mythology of the word expat, passport privilege, and why grounded spirituality must include truth, justice, and a refusal to spiritually bypass reality..This is a conversation about migration and inner belonging, about mending what feels broken, and about learning to fall back in love with your life one deliberate gold thread at a time..00:00 Meet Susan: Ex Human Rights Lawyer & Cancer Survivor02:04 Life in Geneva: A City of Transit, Friends, and Staying After the UN03:44 Migration: Who Gets to Be an ‘Expat' vs an Immigrant?04:48 Forced Displacement, Passports, and the ‘Illegal Alien' Rhetoric08:24 Cancer Diagnosis: A New Kind of Journey Begins09:43 Mindset vs ‘Mind-Fluid': Staying Flexible Through Treatment11:12 The Body as First Home: Curiosity, Chemo, and Relearning Presence15:06 After Treatment: Cellular Change, Listening Deeper, and Emotional Surrender20:36 Home as Sanctuary (and Needing Space): Getting Out, Support, and Returning23:04 Rehoming Yourself: Nationality, Lost French, and Rebuilding Belonging in Geneva27:28 Leaving Corporate & Restarting Your Career After a Big Change27:43 Rehoming as a Nomad: Belonging Beyond Passports and Borders29:59 Building Local Community: Democracy, Power, and Showing Up Nearby30:49 Falling Back in Love With a City (Without Romanticizing ‘Home')31:49 Geneva's Literary Magic: Writers, Revolutionaries, and a New Lens on Place33:06 Learning the Language Through Joy: Food, Music, Movies—and Curiosity33:29 Turning Rehoming Into a Project: A Switzerland-Themed Podcast Season34:20 Mending What's Broken: Kintsugi, Decluttering, and What to Keep36:40 Mexico After Chemo: The Monarch Butterfly Pilgrimage40:49 Metamorphosis as Medicine: Migration, Cocoon Time, and Becoming New42:16 Animal Guides & Nature as Home (and the Climate Grief Beneath It)45:41 Oaxaca Healing Rituals: Temazcal, Womb Symbolism, and Rebirth48:13 Radical Love Isn't Escapism: Justice, Borders, and Staying Rooted50:59 Closing Reflections: Journaling, Writing the Monarch Essay, and What's Next.Susan's website and podcast are found here: https://darknlight.com.IG: @darknlightzine.The book Susan mentions: Encountering Dragonfly by Brooke Williams.To find out more about how space clearing can help you make your home feel like a safe sanctuary during cancer recovery or to book a free space clearing assessment: .⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://spaceclearingacademy.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Connect with Lais:FB: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/Laisstephan1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/lais_thehousewhisperer/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.....#spaceclearing #fengshui #cancersurvivor #sanctuary

Residency by Investment sounds like a simple way to set aside a backup when you're managing your money, but the complexity and rapidly changing landscape of tax and government priorities means you should probably talk to an expert.In this episode of Taxbytes for Expats, I'm joined by Sandeep Nair, COO of Vancis Capital, to talk about residency and citizenship by investment. He sets out, in very practical terms, what these programmes actually involve because this is one of those areas where you don't want to get the details wrong, and having an adviser like Sandeep is the best way to get accurate and up to date information.We talk through why people explore residency or citizenship options in the first place, global mobility, retirement planning, tax considerations, and what's increasingly referred to as a “Plan B”. Sandeep explains how clients define their goals, what the advisory process looks like, and the types of jurisdictions that tend to come up most often in these discussions.From my side, I bring it back to the tax piece: why these decisions can't be made in isolation, how Irish tax rules continue to apply in ways people don't always expect, and why early, joined-up planning is critical.Main Topics Discussed in this Episode:Sandeep's Background and Entry into Global Mobility Planning: We start with how Sandeep moved into the world of residency and citizenship by investment, and why this space has grown so quickly in recent years.What Residency and Citizenship by Investment Actually Means: We break down what these programmes involve in practice, who they're designed for, and why they're very different from simply “moving abroad for a while”.Why People Seek Residency or Citizenship Options: We explore the key drivers behind these decisions, including global mobility, retirement planning, tax considerations and the growing concept of a “Plan B”.Popular Jurisdictions and the Types of Programmes Available: Sandeep outlines the regions and countries that come up most often, from Caribbean passports to European residency programmes, and what attracts people to each.The Need for Joined-Up Tax and Professional Advice: We discuss why immigration decisions have to be considered alongside tax, banking and structuring advice, and why oversimplifying residency can lead to costly mistakes.Get in touch with Sandeep Nair:Website: https://www.VancisCapital.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/vanciscapital/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sandeep-nair-0461974b/*****Use the link below and quote "Expat Taxes" when registering with Currencies Direct to receive a €50 One4All or Amazon voucher when you transfer €5000 or more in your first six months with Currencies Direct.*Click here for a special offer from our sponsor, Currencies Direct******If you loved this episode or have a similar story, we'd love to hear from you!

Changes are coming to UK inheritance tax legislation. From April 2027, many expats with UK Self-Invested Personal Pensions (SIPPs) could face a 40% UK inheritance tax hit on pension values above the £325,000 nil-rate band, but the way the new rules are drafted may allow non-long-term UK residents to structure their SIPPs so that non-UK underlying assets sit outside the UK inheritance tax net.    Richard Taylor, dual UK/US citizen and Chartered Financial Planner, is joined by Tobias Gleed-Owen, Senior Associate at Birketts, to discuss the upcoming changes to SIPPs and inheritance tax. This episode of Expat Wealth explores how UK expats, or future recipients of a UK inheritance or pension, can prepare for the April 2027 changes. Richard and Tobias unpack how the draft UK rules will treat pensions for inheritance tax, why the position most people have assumed is likely wrong, and how looking through to the underlying investments in an SIPP may keep large portions of a UK pension outside the UK inheritance tax net.    In this episode, Richard and Tobias take a detailed look at:    The big picture: An overview of the 2027 UK inheritance tax change on pensions.    Practical planning opportunities: How to structure or restructure your SIPP investments.    What to do if you have an old defined benefit pension.    Pension Commencement Lump Sums: Whether or not the UK 25% “tax-free lump sum” is tax-free in the US.     --    Expat Wealth is supported by Plan First Wealth.

Die Welt zu Gast in der Deutschschweiz! Viele ausländische Fachkräfte arbeiten einige Jahre hier für eine international tätige Firma. Diese sogenannten Expats kommen mit Hochdeutsch oder Englisch gut durch. Aber einige lernen auch Schweizerdeutsch. Der Sprachlehrer Marco Fenaroli hat jahrelange Erfahrung als Leiter für Schweizerdeutschkurse. Von ihm wollte Mundartredaktor Markus Gasser unter anderem wissen, mit welcher Muttersprache man Vorteile hat beim Schweizerdeutschlernen – und mit welchen weniger. Das führt zur Frage, wie man die Distanz zwischen Schweizerdeutsch und anderen Sprachen überhaupt messen kann. Kollegin Nadia Zollinger hat sich mit Melissa Tan aus Singapur ausgetauscht. Sie lebt seit anderthalb Jahren in Zürich und spricht schon jetzt ein beachtliches «Züritüütsch». Aber was motiviert sie überhaupt, Mundart zu lernen? Die Antworten der beiden helfen, allfällige Vorurteile gegenüber Expats, etwa, dass sie sich nicht integrieren wollen, zu hinterfragen.

In our last episode, we shared that I'll be retiring from my corporate role at the end of March. And for us, that doesn't mean slowing down. It means changing how we travel. For years, we've moved fast. We've packed itineraries. We've seen incredible places in short windows of time. But this next chapter is going to be different. We don't just want to visit places anymore. We want to stay. To rent an apartment for a month. To shop at the same market twice in a week. To learn the norms of a neighborhood. To go deeper. So when we came across The Good Life Abroad, it caught our attention right away. Because what Andrew Motiwalla has built aligns almost exactly with where Melissa and I find ourselves right now. It's designed for people 55 and older who want to live abroad for one to three months — not as tourists, but as temporary locals — with built-in community and support. What you'll discover in our interview with Andrew: How The Good Life Abroad makes “living abroad” doable (even if it feels overwhelming): vetted apartments, a local community manager, built-in community, and a safety net (insurance, English-speaking doctors, help getting oriented). What it actually feels like to live in Europe for 1–3 months: the real adjustments (noise, late dinners, smaller kitchens, no ADA) and how the program prepares you so those things don't become deal-breakers. Why slow travel + community changes everything in this season of life: how retirees find their “tribe,” travel with intention (like taking a class before a trip), and use longer stays to go deeper than a cruise or a one-week vacation.

I first published this episode two and a half years ago in June 2023, in commemoration of the death of the great Tina Turner. As always when I take on such an iconic figure, I try to give a different perspective on the artist in question than one would normally encounter. For this reason, I chose to frame Tina within the context of the many other female pop artists of color who emigrated to Europe and the UK. I have devoted a lot of time, space, and research to the Black opera singers who came here, but there is an equally fascinating story to be told about the pop singers of many eras and genres, who also chose to make Europe their home. Though this episode focuses primarily on Tina and some of the less-explored material throughout her career, I seek to contextualize her by also discussing the many African American singers, from Joséphine Baker to Donna Summer to Nina Simone to Dee Dee Bridgewater, who either spent formative time in Europe or settled there permanently. Along with the aforementioned favorites, I also focus on lesser-known artists such as Beauty Milton, Vickie Henderson, and Betty Dorsey, including a brief introduction to each of four singers who will be featured in their own episodes during Black History Month: Adelaide Hall (coming on Monday!), Elisabeth Welch, Bertice Reading, and Salena Jones (who just recently celebrated her 82nd birthday). Count on Countermelody (and me!) to always bring you something a little different! Countermelody is the podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.
