If the new administration is what Dalton is waiting on, then consideration should be given to taxation. Capital gains in particular is likely to double and even triple under the weight of a Biden administration (higher transaction costs are proposed as well). Thus, consider looking at the following website for information regarding tax avoidance. A passport takes a little time, but not very much, and one might need to brush up on Spanish because not everyone speaks English. I suggest one may also want to talk to a tax specialist.

As you will notice, a bank account can be opened in many of these places without tax obligation. Often, one may need to pay a fee to incorporate, but that is all. A person can still live at one's current address. However, some may wish to exit the country altogether because of the freedom one might gain. Perhaps one may desire to buy a large boat to take advantage of fishing --- maybe even something larger for parties and entertaining (hint to those who might invite me).
For myself, I view capital gains as a serious issue because one invests their own hard earned money at great risk of loss in the hope of making a future profit (often times we see none). And, when one invests their money, it is money you already paid taxes on, and you gave up a whole lot of things to save the money, so my question is why should the government get anything after you are the one who gave up so much and took all the risks? That choice is yours.
