True, many banks don't like Bahamas residents. But no bank can check where you actually reside. So you might solve the problem with an utility bill of a property you own somewhere else. Or use our friend Mr. Photoshop.

Very easily actually you use IBKR, Saxobank, Charles Schwab, Tradestation etc etc etc. I think even Swissquote do but never tried them. I have not even mentioned the Asian brokers I use...lol.

I am very interested in those asian brokers. I am moving to Paraguay and love to know alternatives to IBKR (it seems like the only exchange that supports the country)

Depending on what you're looking there are options like tradestation, t212, questrade, zacks trade..
only tested ibkr and t212 so long

Thank you! For me it's really nice to have access to OTC, Canadian stocks and if possible other countries. Do you know if Swissquote would onboard a paraguayan resident?

Really don't know, it was on my radar but with their fees weren't advantageous for me (small amounts). I think they will, but have no experience with them.

Yes they do - general speaking Swissquote is the most affordable broker when it comes to brokers onboarding a bit more exotic jurisdictions.

Thanks the good Fred!
@Dom pedro I choose T212 because they allow funding via debit and credit card, just in case you want to consider

What is your plan for cashing out? Do you have a bank in Paraguay? Or do you cash out to a bank abroad and use its debit/credit card there? I have many options if I use my current residency, but I might lose them whey they notice I am not in the country anymore. Also I would prefer to avoid CRS reports to my local tax office.

Thanks! Do you think they would open an account for a foreign owned USA LLC? I just opened one in case I am completely unbanked in the coming months, as it may hard to open accounts as a paraguayan resident.

Actually I'm Paraguayan, so I do have local accounts.. but maybe in the future I could think in cash out abroad.
