Under Global residence program in Malta, you can pay flat fee of 15.000 euro per year (give that no money are remitted to Malta), receive residence permit and Tax ID. You don't need to live there.

Simply put, these are various stocks of large companies (usually hundreds of different stocks), put together in one portfolio, aka fund. You buy a share of that porfolio, which negates the risk of individual stock failure. You can buy them in many ways. For example, most of lagre banks offer...

10% - BTC 60% - USA large cap index funds 30% - bonds 10% - cash If you want to look into real estate, my advise would be only buy the best thing you can afford. Not 10 shitty studios to rent to the students, but one large apartment in best possible location to rent to top manager expats long...

It might. It might not. It's jsut a good practice to get a new certificate every time you pay for renewal. Penny wise and pound foolish, you know.

I don't think it's possible with individual stocks (i never thought of it anyway), but mutual funds (aka unit trusts) of the same fundhouse (e.g. Blackrock or Fidelity) can be switched between each other directly. At least that's how it looks like at customer side, I wouldn't be surprised if...

Oh yes, they do actually, haven't checked in a while, have they started to accept fiat deposits this year? Then CRS questionnary was only logical of course. I only tried to withdraw usd from bitfinex once and it took 45 days.

That's a question with no clear answer, and we can only speak of current situation. Some countries made it clear that they consider crypto financial asset (Israel, for example), some say it's a property, but we've yet to see how exactly crypto report may look. As of today, CRS/FATCA report...

1. No 2. No

These days, every question like this one comes to establishing your tax residence. Is your residence in a CRS or Non-CRS country? Do you wish (or, rather, can you handle) your offshore account information being reported to your tax residence country?

I'm not sure i'm following. All you have to do is choose the area where you wish to set up the company (Tbilisi or Poti), then choose a type of license you need (Service company or Trading company), contact a lawyer and provide him with a power of Attorney. Thn after few days you pay the fees...

Pay attention if you're looking at regular Georgia companies or ones established in so called free economy areas (city of Tbilisi and city of Poti). Latter are de facto offshore and are very easy to set up, certainly no need (and no way) to open bank account prior to registration, but once...

Well, here is self-explanatory email all Bitfinex users received in May Dear Customer, Under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (which are applicable to entities organized in the British Virgin Islands, including us), we are required to report certain account information to the BVI...

In my practice, i'd rather skip certificate of Good Standing and present certificate of incumbeny instead, it's best of both worlds, because it confirms good standing but also confirms that ownership structure has not changed, which is crucial for the bank. You will also have additional piece of...

No problem. I would suppose direct debit is not an easy thing to arrange for multiple countries at once. I still expect EMI's to start developing it, it would give them the edge over traditional banks.

Btw, here one can check the number of bilateral agreements entered by each country - Exchange relationships - Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Some have surprising zero amount of agreements. Turkey for example. Some have interesting details - for example, the first...

I wouldn't disregard some of them at least: Armenia, Georgia, Montenegro, Serbia, Thailand are not bad at all (considering all present banking circumstances, of course), minimum paperwork is required, things can be done remotely and no TIN is being asked so far.

Thank you. Do you know in which countries they support direct debit? For example, will i be able to setup electricity/internet payments in Malta?

Are there any EMI's which support regular scheduled payments and, ideally, autopay in EU countries (by autopay i mean direct debit of utilities)? So far, i only know that Leupay for sure does not.

1. There are still countries with strong enough banking systems which have not joined CRS and don't plan to 2. Given enough effort and resources, you can establish residence in countries such as Malta or Cyprus which have territorial taxation and don't care about your foreign income even when...

Cointracking.info is absolutely amazing.
