You are right, I have this tendency to be very (too) thorough before I make a move. My situation is a bit special and like you say there's no package that offers exactly what I want. The closest I found is Bulgarian company and I think this is where I'm going now. There's 80% chance that this is...

Yes, correct but I need a VAT number plus show that I'm registered (sole trader / LTD). These are businesses that want to work with businesses.

No they won't and again, I need a SEPA account :)

Hi thanks for your comment. Actually, I would LOVE to be a sole trader / proprietor but can't find any place where they accept non residents. In the UK, Ireland, you need to be a resident. You're absolutely right that a Limited is not needed here.

Which US LLC are you talking about ? I mean which state ? :)

Being a non-resident, living in Thailand, I guess social insurance and pension would not concern me ? :)

Thanks. Let's say I make a month with sales of 5000 euros, I can take 4000 and leave 1000 euros, so only 1000 euros would be taxed ? Do I understand well ?

Hi, DId you ask for a HK registered company ? For a HK company all wire transfers are directed to HK DBS except if it's a merchant account. At least that's what I have been told :)

Hi guys, Just want you all to know so I have narrowed it down my choice to UK and Bulgarian company. Both offer pretty much what I need. Bulgaria offers maybe more stability in these days of of uncertainlty (Brexit). Taxes are lower there but accounting + setup is more expensive than for a UK...

Yeah, I thought that as well. You seem to be well versed in UK companies :D.This might be the way for me if I can't find any other solution. In your experience is it difficult to maintain a UK company ? Paying myself a salary ? (I have no employees) Just to tell you a bit more about what I do...

For a UK company (like an Irish one) I read that your sort of need to have some "link "with UK business interests, like clients there etc.. However, I would not have any client there. In rapidformations it says: "You should have a customer in the UK or have the intention to procure customers...

Yeah could be, I just saw it wa sa low tax place. It's possible to open a bank account remotely as well. For a UK Ltd,it looks easy to set up but as I heard, it's not possible to open a bank account remotely.. unless with transferwise ?

Hi, Still a bit early to say. I checked and some of my business partners in Europe seem to be needing a Bank Account for SEPA transfers. I contacted Airwallex et they only provide a European IBAN for merchants accounts, if it's wire transfer then it's directed to DBS Singapore (no European...

o_O;):p nope not me, but I'm not surprised at what you say !

Thanks for that explanation ! So with Airwallex: Name of company IBAN >> then money is on the German account (paid by my customer in france for ex) ? From there I can send my salary to Thailand ? (that'd require swift I guess). Sorry if what I say may sound dumb, I really have no clue about...

All great answers here, I can't believe my question has gone that far :) I heard the best about Currenxie, didn't know about Airwallex. This means Airwallex offers a European Bank account (sort of) in Germany ?That'd be great. I wonder what the banking details look like when you need to issue...

Thanks, :) that's definitely something to be read indeed. So, all in all, a HK company still seems to be a quite flexible alternative, as It's quite clear from the beginning. I have seen that even neat.hk offered now incorporation incl.the "bank account" neat.hk/business/incorporation

Yes, it's cheap but not rare, many others offer about the same price I have seen. Not sure about Transferwise. I guess the name will be public, but I don't mind about that really. Singapore could be another option, I guess. Not sure if the foreign sourced income is also not taxable.

Hi, Thanks all for your input and by the congrats on this super nice forum. I've been learning lots since this morning :) A friend of mine has done it with getstarted.hk and he's happy. Straightforward process 5 days to incorporate. It's about 600 USD for everything, but this doesn't include...

Ah ok now I understand. I thought it was the other way round, HK company very easy to maintain (+ 0 tax since it's made offshore) and UK company is still western bureaucracy with taxes and all. A few friends of mine have setup a HK company a while back and had told me it was so easy. The...
