🇵🇰 Pakistani Trader
If you are a Pakistani prop trader making $50,000 to $150,000 per year through firms like FTMO, MyForexFunds, or similar platforms — you have a serious problem. Pakistan’s tax system is taking 35% of every dollar you earn. On $80,000 income that is $28,000 gone every single year.
But there is a bigger issue most traders never consider: geopolitical risk. Pakistan sits at one of the most dangerous intersections in the world — bordered by nuclear-armed India, Afghanistan, and Iran, with China and the USA both deeply invested in the region. If global conflict escalates, Pakistan could become one of the most dangerous places on earth.
This guide gives you the complete solution: legal 0% tax through UAE residency and second citizenship, combined with genuine WW3 safety planning — all accessible to Pakistani nationals today.

Problem 1 — The Tax Problem
Pakistan’s income tax brackets hit hard at the top end. Here is what your prop trading income actually costs you:
| Annual Prop Income (USD) | Pakistan Tax Rate | Tax Paid Per Year | Lost Over 10 Years |
|---|---|---|---|
| $30,000 | 25% | $7,500 | $75,000 |
| $50,000 | 30% | $15,000 | $150,000 |
| $80,000 | 35% | $28,000 | $280,000 |
| $150,000 | 35% | $52,500 | $525,000 |
Problem 2 — The Geopolitical Risk Problem
This is the problem most traders ignore until it is too late. Pakistan’s geographic and political position is one of the riskiest in the world for any major global conflict scenario:
| Risk Factor | Pakistan’s Situation | Danger Level |
|---|---|---|
| Nuclear neighbours | India and China both nuclear-armed, on borders | CRITICAL |
| Afghanistan border | Ongoing instability, Taliban spillover risk | HIGH |
| Iran proximity | Israel-Iran conflict could easily escalate regionally | HIGH |
| USA-China tension | Pakistan caught between superpowers | MEDIUM-HIGH |
| Internal stability | Political volatility, economic pressure | MEDIUM |
| WW3 Safety Score | Pakistan ranks very low globally | 2/10 |
Not every peaceful-looking country is actually safe during a major global conflict. Here are the six criteria used to evaluate genuine safety:
| # | Safety Criteria | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Geographic Isolation | Far from conflict zones — difficult to reach militarily, less likely to be drawn in |
| 2 | Political Neutrality | Not in NATO, not allied with Russia or China — not a target for either side |
| 3 | Zero Military Strategic Value | No nuclear bases, no key oil or mineral resources superpowers fight over |
| 4 | Food & Water Self-Sufficiency | Can survive global supply chain collapse without starvation |
| 5 | No Nuclear Targets Nearby | Distance from major cities that would be struck in a nuclear exchange |
| 6 | Stable Domestic Governance | No internal civil war risk when external chaos creates pressure |
| Rank | Country | Region | Neutral? | Nuclear Risk | Food Supply | WW3 Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🥇 1 | New Zealand | South Pacific | YES | Very Low | Excellent | 10/10 |
| 🥈 2 | Vanuatu | South Pacific | YES | Minimal | Good | 9.5/10 |
| 🥉 3 | Iceland | North Atlantic | YES | Low | Good | 9/10 |
| 4 | Fiji | South Pacific | YES | Minimal | Excellent | 9/10 |
| 5 | Dominica | Caribbean | YES | None | Good | 8/10 |
| 6 | Uruguay | South America | YES | Very Low | Excellent | 8.5/10 |
| 7 | Switzerland | Europe | YES | Medium | Good | 7.5/10 |
| ⚠️ | UAE / Dubai | Middle East | Partial | Medium-High | Poor | 5/10 |
| ❌ | Pakistan | South Asia | NO | VERY HIGH | Medium | 2/10 |
This is the most important table in this article. Every country scored across all factors that matter to you as a Pakistani prop trader:
| Country | CBI Available? | Cost | 0% Tax? | WW3 Score | Open to Pak? | Passport | TOTAL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🏆 Vanuatu | YES | $130K | ✓ 0% | 9.5/10 | YES | 93 ctry | ⭐ 9/10 |
| 💎 Dominica | YES | $100K | ✓ 0% | 8/10 | YES | 140 ctry | ⭐ 8.5/10 |
| Grenada | YES | $235K | ✓ 0% | 7.5/10 | YES | 140 ctry | 8/10 |
| Antigua | YES | $230K | ✓ 0% | 7.5/10 | YES | 150 ctry | 8/10 |
| St. Kitts | YES | $250K | ✓ 0% | 7/10 | YES | 155 ctry | 7.5/10 |
| UAE (Residency) | Residency only | $6K/yr | ✓ 0% | 5/10 | YES | UAE visa | 7/10* |
| Pakistan | Home | Free | 35% TAX | 2/10 | Home | 33 ctry | 2/10 |

Why Vanuatu is #1 for You:
On Tax: Vanuatu has zero personal income tax, zero capital gains tax, zero wealth tax, and zero inheritance tax. Your entire prop trading income — whether $50K or $500K per year — is completely protected. This is guaranteed by Vanuatu law, not a loophole.
On WW3 Safety: Vanuatu is a group of 80+ islands in the South Pacific, roughly 2,000 kilometres east of Australia. It has no military, no nuclear bases, no strategic resources that superpowers fight over, and has never been involved in any world conflict. During WW3 it would simply be invisible to all parties.
On Accessibility: The Vanuatu Development Support Program (DSP) is the fastest citizenship by investment program in the world. The $130,000 is a non-refundable contribution to Vanuatu’s national development fund. Your spouse and children under 25 can be included for additional fees.
Vanuatu ROI Calculation:
| Year | Tax Saved (vs Pakistan) | Cumulative Savings | Net After Citizenship Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | $28,000 | $28,000 | -$102,000 (still paying off) |
| Year 2 | $28,000 | $56,000 | -$74,000 |
| Year 3 | $28,000 | $84,000 | -$46,000 |
| Year 4 | $28,000 | $112,000 | -$18,000 |
| Year 5 | $28,000 | $140,000 | +$10,000 PROFIT |
| Year 6–10 | $28,000/yr | $280,000 | +$150,000 pure profit |

Why Dominica Deserves Serious Consideration:
Most Affordable: At $100,000 it is the least expensive legitimate Citizenship by Investment program in the world. No income, capital gains, or inheritance tax — ever. Your $80,000/year prop trading income is fully protected.
EU Schengen Access: Unlike Vanuatu which lost EU access in 2024, Dominica passport holders still enjoy visa-free travel to all 27 Schengen countries in Europe. If Europe matters to you — for business, medical treatment, or travel — Dominica is essential.
Fully Remote Process: You never need to step foot in Dominica. The entire application can be done from Pakistan or UAE — send documents to a licensed agent, pay the government fee, receive your passport by courier.
Caribbean Safety: Dominica is a small island in the Eastern Caribbean. Like Vanuatu, it has zero strategic military value, no nuclear targets nearby, and has never been involved in any global conflict.
🔥 The Ultimate Passport Strategy
The smartest traders and global citizens are not choosing between Vanuatu and Dominica — they are getting BOTH. Here is why the combination is unbeatable:
✅ Vanuatu = South Pacific safe haven, fast 2–4 months, UK + Singapore + NZ access
✅ Dominica = Caribbean safe haven, EU Schengen access, 140+ countries
✅ Together = Two emergency locations on opposite sides of the world + complete global travel freedom
Combined cost: $230,000 — fully recovered in 8 years of tax savings on $80K income.
| Benefit | Vanuatu Only | Dominica Only | BOTH Together |
|---|---|---|---|
| Income Tax | 0% | 0% | 0% — double protection |
| WW3 Safe Haven | Pacific — 9.5/10 | Caribbean — 8/10 | TWO safe havens globally |
| EU / Schengen Travel | NO (lost Dec 2024) | YES | YES via Dominica |
| UK Visa-Free | YES | YES | YES — both |
| Total Passports Held | 1 | 1 | 2 separate passports |
| Emergency Escape Options | 1 location | 1 location | 2 locations, any direction |
| Combined Cost | $130K | $100K | $230K total |
| Verdict | Best single choice | Best budget + EU | 🔥 THE ULTIMATE SETUP |
