    Saxo Bank Withdrawals

    Yes, Saxo is major and serious institution and they don't pull out bulls**t like some EMIs. I withdrawn 100k+ usd transfers multiple times without problems. However, to answer the initial question: They don't allow to make payments to external parties, you can only withdraw money to yourself.

    Payrnet, has just had its Electronic Money licence revoked

    Thanks for the list, fortunately I'm safe, as no of my EMIs is there. I had account in Wamo (since the time when I applied to multiple EMIs when forming some company), but kept it nearly empty, as they seemed shady (nearly zero KYC, lacking features [e.g. did not provide dedicated details to...

    Active Funds: Why the Wealthy Still Invest In Them

    Most active funds underperform indexes in the long term, however there might be still some merit to allocate money into them: 1. Some might be using strategies that are uncorrelated with general market. Thus, they might give positive performance even if general market is crashing. 2. Some might...

    Searching for a nice jurisdiction. I'm ready to pay for serious advice.

    So your "Three profitable forex strategies I want to offer" are not that profitable if you have "No money to pay the hundreds of thousands of EUR/USD/GBP required to deposit". Maybe use your profitable strategies to get money for the deposit?

    Anonymous SIM Cards

    Your main carrier sees that your sim card connected in foreign country using another operator. And they have all information about details of this connection (enough to locate it, and some operator APIs for IoT SIMs even have easy way of locating connections of your own sim cards as a feature...

    Anonymous SIM Cards

    @OffshoreMonero: No need to talk about NSA / 0days. They openly admit that operator (so this means "they" when you are using their sim card) can successfully attack your device. So no magic tricks or NSA required, this is already solved issue. VPN / Wireguard works on different layer (already...

    Anonymous SIM Cards

    Wireguard / vpn helps in nothing if your device is already compromised through this SIM channel. Attacker will force it to make a connection without Wireguard / vpn. Same: it helps in nothing when your device is already compromised through this SIM channel (or other malware, e.g. famous...

    Anonymous SIM Cards

    Interesting, but they list that disadvantage of classic sim from operator is that operator can run attacks at your device: So now, when using their SIM, probably they can run those attacks. And they seem 1000x times more shady than normal operator. So perhaps caution needs to be exercised (e.g...

    Have Liabilities, Received Check, Protection?

    You want to have this debt hanging over your life until the end? IMO just do like this: 1. Try to realize this check - if money goes towards paying debt, than that's fine, it's first step towards debt-free life. 2. If you get the money then you achieved what you wanted (although IMO it would be...

    New Visa to Let Tourists With $130,000 Live in Bali for 10 Years

    Note that the requirement is not to hold 130k USD in their bank, but "2 billion rupiah" (which with current rate is 130k USD). And something tells me that probably their currency devalues quicker than USD... Not to mention liquidity risk of banks etc. Also case of Cyprus comes to mind. This...

    Luxembourg Company Formation Explained & Step by Step Instructions

    When I was researching place for incorporation, following things discouraged me from Lux (if I'm incorrect, please feel free to correct me, but this is what I remember from talking with accountants from Lux): 1. If you personally will be resident of Lux, then you will have crazy high personal...

    How your banks/brokers (personal accounts) reacted after you changed residence to Cyprus

    Neither, and I never was Swiss resident. I just hold there a bit of cash.

    How your banks/brokers (personal accounts) reacted after you changed residence to Cyprus

    I'm planning to change my personal residence to Cyprus soon - don't know yet if I will just use their 60-day residence, and travel between couple countries during rest of the year, or if I will just live in Cyprus (and spend there over half of the year). However, by threads here, I see that...

    Thailand Property Investment and Tax issue as foreigner

    Just please be careful, as in many countries such "investments" are almost in the category of scams. E.g. the developer or whoever is offering this investment is promising guaranteed income, then does not deliver on these terms (or delivers only for short time, but not enough for you to make...

    Low/mid tax for legitimate digital business without using nominee director?

    Thanks. Yes, I wrote reply to the other person why I'd rather avoid incorporating in the US, but this message is waiting for moderator approval, as it contains a link :( So, I won't be repeating it here, but hopefully it gets approved soon.

    Low/mid tax for legitimate digital business without using nominee director?

    Interesting. And I assume this second partner is company controlled by someone else, who is resident in the UK, right? If that's the case, can it be arranged that this second partner is not able to do any harm to my company if they go rogue? In other words, does it not cause the same need to...

    Low/mid tax for legitimate digital business without using nominee director?

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, I looked briefly at UK or Scottish LLPs, but the main problem for me is like you said: probably you will get banking only in EMIs, not real banks (when not having any real resident physically in the UK). And for me this company will be important business if it...
