Unlike Old Wu, I have always advised my friends to avoid Hong Kong as much as possible. On one hand, obtaining residency is extremely difficult, and on the other hand, the costs are ridiculously high. Additionally, many of the things that friends want to avoid are simply unavoidable. The 2026 CRS 2.0 and CARF are both related to Hong Kong, especially CARF, which completely aims to make cryptocurrency transactions transparent. Hong Kong is one of the data exchange hubs, so registering on an exchange with a Hong Kong identity may not be a very wise choice. From the perspective of having no capital gains tax, Singapore, Malaysia, the UAE, Brunei, and Morocco are all good options. Among them, the work visas for Singapore and the UAE should be the quickest and most convenient. However, permanent residency in these two places is notoriously difficult to obtain.
