Loading Hacking Lives...

We assess, recommend, and handle the process

Two founders and local legal teams. International residency, tax, and company setup, then a case we stay with.

Meet the founders

How we got here

We built Hacking Lives after years of living and working across borders. The work is practical. We assess where someone stands, recommend a route that fits, and handle the process with lawyers in Paraguay, Panama, and the US.

Who does the work

Jan Marvan

Jan has lived and run businesses across several countries, with a long stretch in Latin America. He works on residency, Plan B, and company setup. He also founded GUN-EX, and has a long-standing interest in Bitcoin and keeping client files private.

Jan Kotas

How we work with clients

We say what fits and what does not. If a path is wrong, we will not sell it.

Start with your life

We start from how you live and earn, not from a ready-made package.

Straight answers

We deliver what we promise. If something will not work, we say so early.

Local legal teams

Filings go through licensed lawyers. We stay accountable for the case.

A setup you can keep

We build routes that still make sense a year later, not one-off paperwork.

Only the layers that fit

We recommend the countries, companies, or foundations that belong together. Nothing extra.

What the work looks like

Clients come for a second country, a cleaner tax base, or a company that can operate across borders. We keep the file moving until the setup is in place.
