One Country Should Not Own Every Part of Your Life.
Full 180: Guide to International Relocation
Where you live, where you are taxed, where your business is formed, and where your assets sit are five separate decisions. Most people make all five by accident, in the country they happened to be born in. Full 180 is the group coaching program that shows you how to make each one deliberately.
The Premise
A Single Jurisdiction Is a Single Point of Failure
Every claim on your money is geographic. Tax rates, capital controls, reporting requirements, currency risk, professional licensing, inheritance rules, and the value of the passport in your drawer. All of it follows from a set of addresses. Change the addresses and you change the claims.
Most people never think about it this way because the alternative is never presented plainly. The information sits behind consultants who charge five figures to explain the basics, or behind forums where nobody agrees on anything. Full 180 removes that barrier. Ten topics, seven hours of instruction, and a structure that takes you from zero understanding to a defensible plan.
Freedom is not a feeling. Freedom is the number of jurisdictions that will have you.
Nothing here depends on renouncing anything. Some people run the whole program and end up with a second residency and a bank account outside their home country. Others go further. The point is that the decision belongs to you, and it should be made with the full map in front of you.

See How the Program Works
Two minutes. No pitch. Here is the structure of the program, what each topic covers, and what you receive the moment you enroll.
The Five Pillars
Sovereignty Has Five Moving Parts
Each pillar can be moved on its own. Moved together, they change what any single government can require of you. Full 180 covers all five in sequence, in plain language, with the tradeoffs stated out loud.
Citizenship
What a passport actually buys you, how second citizenship is acquired through descent, naturalization, or investment, and what the exit rules look like if you ever decide a single citizenship is one too many.
Residency
Tourist status, temporary residency, permanent residency, and the tax residency rules that determine which country gets to call you a taxpayer. The distinction most people miss until it costs them.
Business
Where a company is formed, where it is managed, and where its income is sourced. Running a business from abroad, keeping clients at home, and understanding which structures hold up under scrutiny.
Assets
Banking outside your home country, currency exposure, custody, reporting obligations, and the difference between holding assets somewhere and hiding them somewhere. Lawful structure only.
Domicile
The pillar nobody talks about and the one that follows you longest. State domicile, estate exposure, and the paperwork that decides whether you actually left or only think you did.
Avoidance, Never Evasion
Every method covered in this program is lawful, documented, and reportable. Reducing what you owe by structure is legal. Concealing what you owe is a crime. That line is stated plainly and repeatedly.
Inside Full 180
Ten Topics. Seven Hours. Zero Filler.
This is not a motivational program. Every topic covers something you need to understand before you can make a good decision. Watch in order or open the one that answers the question keeping you up tonight.
The real reasons behind relocation and the honest math underneath each one. Tax burden, cost of living, personal safety, political exposure, and the quality of life difference that shows up in a household budget rather than in a brochure.
Visa categories, entry stamps, temporary and permanent residency tracks, and the timing rules that determine when a country starts treating you as one of its own. The mechanics that everything else is built on.
A selection framework rather than a list of favorites. Residency difficulty, tax treatment, banking access, healthcare quality, language, distance from family, and how to weigh factors that pull against each other.
What the move costs before it saves you anything. Setup expenses, residency fees, professional costs, the reserve you should hold, and how to build a realistic two-year runway instead of an optimistic one.
Foreign accounts, transfers, currency risk, card access, and the reporting obligations that attach to a U.S. person holding money outside the country. What is required, what is optional, and what is not worth the trouble.
Remote employment, client work across borders, local entities, and the question of where your income is actually sourced. Includes the structures that hold up and the ones that create problems the year after you set them up.
The first ninety days, the paperwork nobody warns you about, building a professional network from zero, and the adjustment period that most people are told does not exist. It exists. Plan for it.
Dependent residency, school selection, healthcare for children and older parents, custody considerations, and the conversations that need to happen before the deposit is paid rather than after.
Document apostilles, translations, background checks, medical records, shipping decisions, and the sequenced checklist that runs from twelve months out down to the final week.
Arrival, registration, the first bank account, the first lease, the first tax year, and the thirty, sixty, and ninety day checklists that keep the residency application on track once you are on the ground.
Included With Enrollment
Full 180 Is Your Key to the Exchange
The Exchange is the private membership platform where Full 180 lives. Enrollment is the entry. Once you are inside, the program is only the starting document. The Exchange is where the material stays current, where the live coaching happens, and where the other members are working through the same five pillars you are.
Relocation planning does not happen in one sitting. Rules change, treaties are renegotiated, residency programs open and close, and the country that made sense in January can look different by August. Static material goes stale. The Exchange does not.
Quick Start Guides
A condensed guide for every topic in the program. The essential points pulled out and formatted so you can act on a chapter without rewatching it.
Workbooks
Structured exercises that turn instruction into your own plan. Country shortlists, decision criteria, timeline mapping, and the questions to answer before committing.
Budgets
Relocation cost models and cost of living comparisons built from real numbers. Setup expenses, monthly burn, and the reserve you should hold before booking anything.
Spreadsheets
Working files you can edit. Residency requirement trackers, document checklists, jurisdiction comparison matrices, and a tax residency day counter.
News
Curated updates on residency programs, tax changes, banking access, and policy shifts that affect the decisions you are making. Signal only, with the source attached.
Exclusive Live Streams
Members-only broadcasts on developments as they happen. New legislation, closing deadlines, jurisdictions worth a second look, and what it changes for you.
Office Hours
Open sessions where you bring your situation and work through it out loud. Bring the question you cannot get a straight answer to anywhere else.
Live Q&A
Recorded question and answer sessions with the whole group. Someone else has already asked your question, and the archive is searchable.
Weekly Webinars
A live session every week, working through the topics in depth with the group. Attend live or watch the recording inside the Exchange.
Who Built This
I Did Not Study This. I Did It.
My name is Christian M. Frank Fas. I am a United States attorney with more than eighteen years of practice, concentrated in immigration and commercial litigation. In 2021 I relocated permanently and ran my practice from the road the entire way. Costa Rica is home now. Puerto Rico and Panama are where the rest of the work sits.
The reason I take this subject seriously is April 30, 2010. Three Puerto Rico banks were closed on a single Friday. Westernbank, R-G Premier, and Eurobank. I spent years inside the litigation that followed, sitting across from business owners and families whose money, income, credit, and legal life were all held inside one system on the day that system stopped working. None of them had a second anything. That is the case I have been arguing ever since, only now I argue it before the bad week rather than after it.
Eighteen years as a United States attorney in immigration and commercial litigation. Admitted, practicing, and still filing. The credential is why the material is accurate.
Working across Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, and Panama. Three legal systems, three banking environments, three residency regimes, all handled personally rather than read about.
Permanently relocated in 2021. Residency applications, foreign banking, cross-border business structure, schools, healthcare, and the paperwork. Every step run on my own file first.
What I do now is coaching. I am not retained as your attorney inside this program and no attorney-client relationship is created by enrolling. The law license is the reason I know which advice on the internet is wrong. It is not the service being offered here. The service is the structure, taught plainly, by somebody who ran it himself and who keeps running it.
Full 180 is the program I wanted in 2020 and could not find. Everything I was told was either a brochure for one country or a five-figure consultation that started by asking what I already knew. This starts from zero and ends with a plan you can defend.
The Terms
Free. Open. Immediate.
There is no application to be approved and no card required. Enrollment opens the program and the Exchange at the same moment. That is the entire offer.
The program carries a listed price of $489 and has been sold at that price. It is free now because the barrier to this information should not be money. Somebody who understands what a second residency actually requires makes better decisions than somebody guessing, and better decisions are the whole point.
Free enrollment, and the Exchange comes with it. No card, no trial period, and no upgrade wall between you and the material.
Everything opens the moment you enroll. Move through the material at whatever pace your situation demands.
Ten topics, seven hours of instruction, the guides, the workbooks, the budgets, the spreadsheets, and every live session inside the Exchange.

Questions
Before You Enroll
No. Full 180 is a coaching program and is educational in nature. It does not create an attorney-client relationship with me, with Expat Expert, or with any affiliated entity. My legal background is why the material is accurate. It is not what you are receiving here. For advice on your specific facts, retain a licensed professional in the relevant jurisdiction.
Nothing. Enrollment is free and includes entry into the Exchange. There is no card required and no upgrade required to reach the material.
Business owners, remote professionals, investors, and anyone whose income and assets currently sit inside one country and who would prefer that they did not. The material assumes you are capable and busy. It does not assume you already know the terminology.
The Exchange is the private membership platform at exchange.expatexpert.co where the program and everything around it lives. Quick start guides, workbooks, budgets, spreadsheets, curated news, members-only live streams, office hours, live question and answer sessions, and weekly webinars. Enrollment in Full 180 is what grants you entry.
No. Renunciation is covered because it is a real option with real consequences, and it deserves to be understood rather than whispered about. Most members never go that far. A second residency and a properly structured banking setup solve the majority of what people are actually worried about.
Yes, and that describes most members when they start. The work of building options takes eighteen months to three years. Beginning that work now costs you nothing and puts the option on the table for the year you decide you want it.
Seven hours of instruction across ten topics. Some members finish in a weekend. Others take a topic per week and work the accompanying workbook alongside it. Both approaches work, and the material stays available either way.
Yes. Office hours and the live question and answer sessions inside the Exchange exist for exactly that. Bring your facts, your timeline, and your numbers, and we work through them with the group.
Last Word
The Option You Never Build Is the One You Never Have.
Nobody builds a second jurisdiction during the week they need it. The paperwork takes months and the residency clocks take years. The correct time to start is the ordinary week when nothing is wrong.
