How it works in practice
Build a file: entry/exit records, employment contracts, assignment letters, and income by source and payer. Coordinate with home-country advisors so dual residence and foreign tax credits are planned, not discovered at departure clearance.
FAQ
Does a Z visa make me a tax resident?
Not by itself. Residence is based on domicile or 183-day presence rules, not visa label alone.
What is the six-year rule?
A consecutive-year framework that can change how certain foreign-source income of non-domiciled residents is treated. Conditions and restarts are technical—see the deep guides.
