Can anyone recommend a service or contact to open a personal bank account in Georgia remotely? Which bank is the recommended one to go with, is it TBC?
Thanks for your reply, if I can't fly there myself, do you know of any recommended companies who can do it for me?ontherun said:
There's hundreds of people who will do this for you with a Power of Attorney template, which they may have just Googled... they will ask you anywhere from us$100 to us$2000 to do it. My advice: take a us$30 plane from Rome to Tbilisi and do it yourself! 🙂

Thank you, I will check your signature now 🙂Admin said:
There are a few around and since you have access to the mentor group, then check the link in my signature there you can find one at least which takes reasonable fee's!

How secure would you rate Georgia to be for such business activity? I mean personal security.dissidentcitizen said:
Flying there is not that expensive unless you are in South America or Southern Asia. You can have your personal bank account open in 30 minutes in Tbilisi. It's the best banking experience ever (besides fintech).
For banking, I recommend TBC. Big bank, easy to setup, good customer support, easy to use mobile app and digital banking.

Georgia is completely safe. Don't go around professing western morals and ethics in public and nobody will be against you. Georgians are very kind and simple people. Quite a lot of affordable whores and erotic massage shops as well although they're not on Google maps for some reasonAdmin said:

Hey, how's it going Martin? I saw your comments about Georgia. You still think Georgia is a bad place to bank? I was looking to set it and forget it, to diversify and for long term security.Martin Everson said:
Geeza come on now...........I mean affordability is subjective.

The country was at war with Russia just over 10 years ago (2008) and tensions are still there.

So you would still setup something there for that reason. But long term strategy is not in Georgia if I understand you correct. Good to know.Martin Everson said:
For diversification of assets it is ok I actually do deep down like Georgian banks and have had a good experience with them.

This. And it won't change until Kremlin is as it is now. The situation in Georgia could change overnight (not saying it will, but it could).

Thanks Martin. Is there a better place to bank nearby? How about Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro, Macedonia?Martin Everson said:

Regardless where you want to bank in such countries I would recommend you to visit the country. There is so much fluff around the account opening part.iloveyouguys said:
