Migranteu Announced New Hubs for Business Relocation
Challenges with international payments, changes in corporate law, and stricter banking compliance are forcing entrepreneurs to reconsider where they do business. While the UAE, Cyprus, or Armenia were previously considered for relocation, by 2026 the trend has shifted toward flexible jurisdictions with transparent tax regulations.
According to data from [Company Name], in 2026, clients are increasingly choosing Vietnam and Malaysia.
In Vietnam, for companies in the software development and IT services export sectors, the standard corporate tax rate of 20% is reduced to a preferential rate of 10% for up to 15 years. At the same time, qualifying projects receive a “tax holiday”: 0% tax for the first 4 years of operations and 5% (a 50% discount) for the following 9 years.
In Malaysia, a special tax regime for digital businesses and IT platforms provides a reduction in the base tax rate from 24% to 0% on intellectual property (IP) income and to 5%–10% on other types of export IT revenue for up to 10 years.
European Countries for Business Relocation
Serbia and Montenegro continue to lead the way in Europe—thanks to their relatively low corporate tax rates (9–15%) and the opportunity to obtain residence permits for the founder’s entire family.
Serbia may be of interest to companies planning to operate in both European and Balkan markets. This destination is being considered by software developers, retail businesses, logistics companies, and service providers. Preferential effective tax rates apply to R&D and IT projects, provided certain conditions are met.
Portugal remains popular among startups, IT teams, and entrepreneurs. The corporate income tax rate is 19%, and small and medium-sized businesses benefit from a preferential rate of 15% on the first €50,000 of profit. In Madeira (IBCM), the corporate income tax rate for qualifying companies is reduced to 5%, and the SIFIDE program allows for the deduction of up to 82.5% of R&D (R&D).
Cyprus has traditionally been attractive to international holding companies, IT firms, and professional services firms. The country is a member of the European Union and allows businesses to operate within the Single European Economic Area.
The Middle East and Central Asia
The United Arab Emirates remains one of the most sought-after destinations among entrepreneurs who work with clients from various regions. The country is chosen by technology companies, consulting firms, e-commerce businesses, and providers of international services.
The jurisdiction’s popularity stems from its attractive tax regime (including a zero personal income tax rate and a corporate income tax rate ranging from 0% to 9%), as well as the ability to make international payments without restrictions.
For companies focused on Central Asian markets, Kazakhstan remains a promising destination. The standard corporate income tax rate is 20%, and the VAT rate is 16%. The Astana Hub technology park offers IT companies a 0% rate on corporate income tax, VAT, and personal income tax for employees (only a 1% levy on income is charged);
According to forecasts by analysts at Migranteu, demand for comprehensive “business + family” relocation packages may grow by another 15–18% in the coming year. Preference will be given to countries with low taxes and accessible programs for obtaining residence permits for family members.
