If you don't have a salary to receive on the account, you can offer the bank the be part of their premium clients. It usually comes with the requirement to hold a min. balance on the account. Like around 100k USD.

I don't really appreciate that tone, especially while I have not asked for an explanation nor previously stated such thing.

I think it's possible to be a little more creative than putting your home country's address :)

Many of these are from the OECD DTA template agreement used by most countries, they are not non sense (sadly). Depending on the country challenging your residency, they may ask for a TRC of the country where you claim residency and then can compare, as per the DTA between the 2 countries, in...

I have mixed feelings about spain. I don't know if I should laugh at its population for being that pathetic to get that controlled, or to be frighten by the fact that these obedient sheeps are so many on earth that free minded people like us don't weight much in the equation. Well, except...

Ohh... I see, then I missed what changed in the taxation rules. Anyway, as much as I enjoy life in Thailand, I cannot push it to 6 months so it won't apply to me.

If you use your FZCO to issue to yourself a residence visa, then you will need a license with 1 visa slot. I think as an owner of the FZCO, you don't need a work permit to be the general manager (as a work permit would be another visa slot). Depending on your intention / personal setup, if you...

For the principle, we prefer to go direct than with a csp. But be prepared to not be impressed with IFZA, the ambient level is not high and within an email chain, different staff will reply to you having no idea what was discussed in the previous email. If you ask 3 questions, you will get one...

Does the DTV visa not allow the same type of taxation as it used the be in Thailand? It says that with that visa, you don't pay tax on the foreign income as long as non remitted in Thailand.

I would go up to say that Graphene OS changed my life, from being constantly annoyed that my phone was listening to finally feeling relatively safe to not be listened on. I would love that they implement an independent hidden volume on startup, depending on which password you input. Veracrypt...

New VPN provider came to life it seems: Obscura VPN: https://obscura.net/ They also claim to have an efficient stealth mode, bypassing anti vpn securities in hotels, etc. Any thoughts?

FYI, for a second hand transaction, I was told that the only payment way between buyer/seller is through manager cheques. And yet I insisted to find a way for a bank transfer but, according to the agent, it had to be manager cheque only. I did not push it further, maybe there is a workaround...

Have in mind that for a Cyprus company, the audit is now mandatory anyway. Personally, I don't think Europe is the solution, this where all our problems are coming from so without surprise it gets worse and worse over there. What might still be acceptable today, has a high chance of not be there...

I suspect JohnnyDoe to have a few different passports in his pockets. Russia feels like a buy and hold after a long market crash. Eventually, things will change. However I don't figure out yet what to gain from it

By the way, if you tell IFZA that you are about to close your FZCO, they will rat you out straight away and this wonderful audit email will be in your mail box within the next hour. They do not even try to play it subtle. One time thing so far for us. Would be curious too to know if someone got...

Thank you both for your answers.

I wish it would be that simple :D.

Hi, Would anyone have some review / experience feedback with proven bank in the Cayman islands? We have a non risky business and are considering opening with them but we are wondering if they are safe, especially for 6 or even 7 digits wire transfers (let's say incoming wire from the...

I think they may have started the health insurance requirement as a business now, as they have a "specialized department" (email address) for it and reselling these at twice the price.

Thank you. It seems they also want a proof of health insurance, in everything they write online, they say it is needed a local one. But I wrote to them per emails and they told me that a foreign one that covers UAE is good enough too. Jack, do you refer to fingerprints?
