I have a client who is considering renouncing his US citizenship. He is trying to figure out how he will prove to financial institutions and other organizations that he has renounced if they request his place of birth, want to see his birth certificate, etc. He knows that providing a copy of his...

Does anyone have an idea how it works for a traveler with dual (or triple) citizenship when they go to nations that fingerprint at passport control? For instance, if you use your UK passport when you visit Singapore (a nation that fingerprints incoming travelers) for the first time. But a year...

Are you saying Pandabank allows remote opening without this kind of additional hassle?

Is the debit card you get a Visa or Union Pay branded card (meaning you can use it all over the world?)

I had an EU client who ended up using them. Including for crypto. They seem solid but ask for alots of documentation all the time but mostly just to check boxes not to try to stop transactions.

It's not important. I just assumed less hassle overall is the broker is not based in the US? Perhaps that is an incorrect assumption?

Have you used them or know anyone who has? Their website still has a copyright mark from 2016, and I can't find anything more about them on OCT. I want to give them a go but would like to know if you/anyone has experience there?

Anyone have any new/updated experiences with them?

I'm sorry to hear that. I still don't understand why the US is so worried about Russians having second passports. Other than the super rich one's who can buy whatever other identities they want anyway, wouldn't any Russian getting a second passport be looking to LEAVE Russia at this point (given...

When you say "it does not work sometimes", can you tell me what kind of hurdles you run into? Who calls you out or makes trouble, and what triggers this?

Thank you. Any others in the Australia / Oceania region?

Would you suggest then he only utilize smaller national / regional / EMI banks who do not allow US clients (I assume they do not have to deal with hassle of Facte?)

New Zealand for a while.

Does such a non-US-based trading platform exist that allows a non-US/EU person to trade various (US and other) market equities?

Other than law enforcement issues (my understanding is that law enforcement in most nations typically do not get involved in tax issues unless the tax authorities seek help - which would mean the tax authority needs to first know there is an issue) can you foresee any other problems?

Important disclaimer: I am DEFINITELY NOT advising my client to break any rules or laws of ANY nation. I am just trying to help him navigate the strange waters he finds himself in. If this discussion is too far afield for this forum (or website) I encourage any moderator to delete this thread. I...

Interestingly the banana republic authorities only (accidentally) used the town of his birth on his new passport - not his birth country. For instance, his second passport says "place of birth: Chester". That's it. No nation. And since there are Chesters in places like the UK and other nations...

Hello friends - I have a US client with a second citizenship through one of those tax haven island citizen investment programmes. He has a whole other life already set up on that island (residence, utility bills, phone, etc.) He asked me if I see any downside to him using ONLY his non-US...

Good to know! What months are the bad air months?

Anyone have updates on Laos? How is it for short/digital/long-term residency / banking / corruption / real estate / CRS in 2025?
