This is just my opinion, but I feel there are significant political risks in Thailand. There is the constant threat of corruption, an unpredictable military junta, soon-to-come elections, in addition to the fact that Thailand has always been extremely nationalistic with policies that are often...

If going by the Numbeo cost of living index then the UAE ranks 35 globally, and it seems when looking at individual cities, Dubai is not very expensive. This contradicts my own impressions concerning Dubai. Personally, I think living in an Arab country is not the most desirable option...

Forget about Thailand, it is one of the world's most corrupt countries, and their Thai elite visa is a joke! The country is ruled by a military junta, and the military junta has repeatedly made populist remarks to confiscate property from foreigners. As most of you know already, foreigners...

Cyprus seems a not-so-straightforward option though, and perhaps it does not apply to Cyprus, but is it not necessary to have a registered office in Cyprus and a secretary? Furthermore, I believe there is no privacy, or is there? The company I will set up for the business can be owned by another...

Hello, What is a good solution for a holding company? I would like the privacy and ease that comes with an IBC, but the holding company will own a company in the EU that operates legit business, possibly owning real estate also; meaning, there should be no problem with the jurisdiction being...

It is good that one is informed later in the process what those fees are, but when I glanced at the information available and it mentioned annual fees for keeping a company in good standing and not elaborating further, then immediately I started to wonder what these fees are. That is when I came...

I understand there are legitimate fees when you buy the services of such an agent, but they do not specify what you pay for, instead they phrase it as "good standing". Always when I heard such phrasing before it was a reoccurring fee to keep a continuous income stream, like electric toothbrush...

But I was looking at Offshorecorpgroup, and they offer a Seychelles Trust package, which is not cheap by definitely not very, very costly. Am I missing something here? Additional costs? Of course in addition to the trust it would be necessary to form av offshore corp, but even so the cost would...

Okay, thank you very much for the information! I am wondering though, does it matter from a practical perspective if the trust, IBC and bank account are located in the same jurisdiction?

Okay, thank you for the information! It is certainly interesting and something for me to consider.

From what I read, having a trust provides like a second layer of protection, but it also has some other purposes like asset protection in case of divorces, succession planning, and so on. So that is to say: many of the advantages of having an offshore company with a second layer of protection...

Well, like I said, I was wondering how profitable it is? The ATMs I saw were also General Bytes: BATMTwo Bitcoin ATM. I saw them for sale here: Buy Bitcoin ATM It seems that prices vary a lot for ATMs. Here is another manufacturer with a similar simple model: Bitcoin ATM | Lamassu (I think...

Hi, I was reading some articles about how combining an offshore company such as an IBC with an offshore trust could be very beneficial for some purposes. It does seem to be a rather expensive arrangement however, and I am wondering if someone has any advice on how to minimize costs? And for...

Hi, Does anyone have any experience operating Bitcoin ATMs? I saw a few around, and I looked up a few companies which manufactures them. It seems quite cheap to buy one, and not very complex to get it up and running. I do not think it would be too much of a problem to find a location, and I...

From my visits, I got the impression that it is a rather boring place to stay long-term. The economy does not seem very diversified either (but for a country that size I would say it most definitely is). Supposedly it is not the easiest place to move to for non-EU citizens, but for well-off...

I bought stuff from darknet markets a few times, but nothing seriously illegal like contracting the services of hitmen or buying weapons. Long ago, such hitmen services were advertised, but I heard they were just scams. It was however possible to buy various kinds of firearms, but these days...

I am not a super expert on watches, but I do have a small collection, and I can say that national brands are rarely if ever really from that country. For example, the USA has a huge number of watch brands, but last I heard only one produce their own watches themselves with movements and all...

From what little time I have spent there, I can say that you better have a lot of money! If so, life is very good; however, if you do not have a lot of money, do not think for a moment to move there.

Long ago I used to trade Bitcoins in HK, but the regulations got increasingly demanding and complex, when finally it started to feel like too much of a headache. If you are a legitimate trader/investor and do not mind satisfying the paperwork, I guess it is a good place to trade.

Hi, I see many companies such as Offshorecorpgroup require a renewal fee for what they call "keeping the company in good standing", and I cannot help but keep wondering if this is a genuine fee, or if this is just a way for the company to continuously get money from the client? Similar to when...
