    Buying a house in the Philippines as a foreigner

    Philippines real estate prices, especially for condos in big cities, are ridiculously inflated for several reasons. Just my 2 cents: never buy new projects or pre-construction. As a foreigner you don't have many choices. And having dealt with Filipinos/Filipinas for quite a few years already...

    Best (non) CRS country to bank in? (as of July 2024)

    A PSA to OP about the quality of some members here is already quite a good contribution...I feel I touched a nerve there right? Nothing will happen. If you are talking about getting a wire transfer of 500,000USD as a lump sum, there are probably a few (you can count them with one hand)...

    Best (non) CRS country to bank in? (as of July 2024)

    Not true Because they don't know what they are talking about. Please be aware that this forum, although can be a good source of information, is pestered by users who have done no research and talk about places they never set foot in. In short, kids who dreams about playing James Bond. Last...

    Don't know why but as soon as I started reading this thread, the only two words that came to my mind are "rug pull"

    Cayman Islands company

    I had a CY company like 10 years ago and it was quite price to run it (like 5,000USD) and back there there was basically no docs to file. Don't know how it is today.

    Singapore personal bank account introducer?

    I'm Married with a filipina. As such I get 1 year tourist visas called "balikbayan visa" . With that I went to apply for ACR I-Card (their local Id for foreigners). Banks are very anal there about the requirements and the common statement is that foreigners cannot open bank accounts. I...

    Singapore personal bank account introducer?

    Nope. I opened an account in the Philippines but I still would prefer to have one is Singapore for investment purposes. If you have 100K or 150k USD you can try your luck, mostly if you fly there. For a small dog like me with 50k/60k USD, I didn't find any luck, although I didn't visit...

    USPS moneysaver (has anyone used it? scam or not?)

    We have something similar in my country, in EU, and for sure this one works the same way. They do have special contracts with the shippers so they can pass that discount to you. In my country if you go to post office to let's say ship a box of 1kg you would pay 9 to 12 euro, while if you use a...

    UAE - 2024 - And now, what?

    Am I the only one thinking 9% is like nothing? Why the fuzz about it? Yes, 0% is better, I agree, but this is going to end, even in banana islands. In the next decade I'm quite sure no country will offer 0%, except for some complicated structures. Or if 0% they will make you pay in fees...

    Personal HK bank account

    Don't believe this BS. Been an HK HSBC Premier for over a decade. Had people, living in HK, who didn't believe how come I had an account with HSBC despite them being living there and with cash to deposit. And this was well before CRS. There's no chance they will open your account remotely...
