Forsen has got the gaming community talking with his move to Cyprus. The Swedish content creator took a break from Twitch to move countries—and is now back. During his last stream, he introduced his new “asylum” to his fans.
With its pleasant climate and attractive tax rates, Cyprus is becoming a popular choice for digital nomads and businesses looking to save money. Forsen’s decision to move to the island nation has reignited talks about the ethics of tax optimization among high-earning streamers.
This isn’t Forsen’s first time moving around for residency. He reportedly spent some time in Spain, another favorite for those hoping to lower their tax bills. The tactic of dividing time between countries to cut tax burdens is a known strategy in the streamer community.
Some fans back Forsen’s choice, noting it’s a usual move among content creators. “You realize every US streamer moves to Texas because of no income tax,” one supporter pointed out, comparing it to the American streaming scene.
Others aren’t as impressed with Forsen’s decision. Critics say that while legal, the tax-avoiding strategies of wealthy individuals and corporations are questionable. “Just because something is legal doesn’t mean it’s a good thing,” one commenter observed, a thought many share.
But it’s not just about saving money. Forsen has highlighted that his plan is to stay in Cyprus during the winter months only. “Nordic winters suck,” a fan mentioned, hinting that the streamer’s choice might also be about having a better quality of life, not just financial gain.
