On my jurisdiction index, the Czech Republic ranks 5th in the world out of 233. It is the top 5 country almost no advisor ever names.
The HNWI conversation runs on zero tax and lump sum regimes. Dubai, Monaco, Switzerland, the usual names.
The Czech Republic wins on none of that. Its tax freedom score is a middling 6.6. Yet it lands 5th, ahead of Ireland, New Zealand and the UK.
The reason is that it has almost no weak spot on the things that make a base actually work. Safety 8.3, healthcare 8.7, banking 8.5, justice 8.1, open society 8.6, wealth protection 8.3, all on a 10 scale, at Central European cost rather than Western European cost.
Two honest weaknesses. Weather scores 5.0 and air connectivity 5.2, so it is a grey winter and a secondary hub, not a sun and flights base.
But if your filter is institutions, safety and rule of law per euro spent, rather than a headline tax rate, the index keeps surfacing places like this that never make a glossy shortlist.
When you weigh a base, how much does a strong tax score actually pull you, versus boring things like healthcare, courts and cost?
If you want to see which of the 233 actually fit your profile, not the marketed few, the free 6 minute diagnostic is in the first comment.
