I have opened bank accounts in NL and they never asked me for my residency. But they need a proof of address where you 'live' in NL. And opining is in person in a branch office

ok, hope it is true. A friend of mine accountant there is 100% sure it is per August 1

Hi I got information that the changes come into effect as of August 1st.

Stichting. Not sure if they dont pay any taxes.

seems like it will be effective qs of 2023 if approved

where did you read this?

correct, mexico doesnt enforce taxes very much, even with citizens its easy to circumvent. 70% of the economy is informal so there you go. As a foreigner in Mexico get your residency but never go for a MX passport since you are considered a mexican for the law then. No consular help from your...

i went with ICO Services. Opened several bank accounts with them in the past and very good service. I mentioned them several times on the forum but I dont have any other relationship with them then being a client.

i would go with the ease of an introducer and not try to save a few hundred euro or so. Saves you time and frustration. I did ABC with an introducer and all fine.

If Caye is a bad choice depends on what other options you have. Check out what correspondent banks they have for EUR and USD. Belize doesnt have any appeal left as an offshore jurisdiction I think. I was in the process opening a corporate account a few years ago but backed out since I had better...

you can open bank account in romania remotely with PoA to your lawyer. After that have him send by courier the bank card and activated sim card to you. But its better to go in person anyways.

not much chance for a BZ IBC and Wise. It used to work 4 years ago but not anymore. Try a bank in the Caribbean instead. if you use a service provide like ICO then they go to a BZ agent to open the company. I would go directly to the BZ agent to open the company (faster and cheaper, shorter...

try bosl for company opening. Havent failed me in 14 years. Yearly costs around 800 usd for renewa, cogs+ apostille. Check their pricelist for current prices.Bank accounts are more tricky. I wouldnt go for a belize bank if there are any left.

just pay off the cartel and you are perfectly safe

if you hold stocks in an IBC, how do you want to ever sell them if you dont have a bank account for the IBC? I once considered an BZ or SC foundation that owns my other EU company. But long term thinking I decided to thrash that idea. If you are a EU passport holder in LATAM then consider...

Using an IBC as a holding may work just fine, as long as you do not want to have a bank account linked to it. Anyways, the use of IBC's nowadays is not the way to go I think. The net is closing in on this kind of offshore structures. But it also depends where you are resident, do business etc...

You may be able to open an account for a SC IBC with one of the banks in the caribbean like Boslil or some Dominican bank like GBR or UIB in Curacao. I am getting rid of my BZ IBC with Wise account. These IBC simply dont work any more in 2021. Also note that Wise cant be used in connection with...

A Belize IBC is one of the worst choices if you look for a bank account in 2021. Even if you manage to get a bank account, dont be surprised it to be closed in the near future. Some banks in the Caribbean (Dominica, St Lucia) may want to open an account but expect high transaction costs and very...

you can try banks in Mauritius like ABC. Needless to say that in 2021 first figure out banking options before forming an offshore company.

OK, as I suspected, better not send high USD amounts for intra comp. transfers. Question on the side: would a major US bank raise red flags if they receive a 5 figure USD amount from an offshore bank in a personal account?
