Most banks in Serbia still receive payments from Russia and Belarus, and of course they work with EU.

Yes, definitely. If you have a 1 year visa it classes as residence.

Russia and Belarus are your perfect solutions for doing business with Iran and Cuba. China might be good.

I have travelled plenty of times on my Caribbean passport and never had any problems. No need to feel nervous at all IMO. Of course if you feel nervous, customs officers are trained to detect that. Trust me, they don't care you bought your passport because it's not one of their business and it...

It is ineed a pretty obscure problem. Why on earth can't this Polish company pay you in EUR? It should not be difficult for them. I do remember hearing of pre-paid cards issued by Polish banks that have their own IBANs and would accept PLN. Maybe you could get one of these cards? Prepaid cards...

Yes it does... works both ways (or neither way in fact)

Be careful. Everyone is having problems withdrawing funds from Hamilton at the moment. This has been going on for weeks and they keep coming up with new excuses. However Hamilton bought a new bank in Puerto Rico that has direct access to the Federal Reserve system. Therefore, you would think...

What do Arival's wire instructions look like? Is it direct or via some EMI? Any reason why you did not open an account in Panama itself? Transerwise would likely close the account after you start acivity. This is probably true. But they will close the account which is a big hassle if you...

There are cheque cashing services that can cash a/c payee cheques. You can search them online. They charge a lot (5-10%) and might take a month or two to pay out, but it could be easier than the hassle of setting up a whole new bank account especially for 1 cheque.

It would be a very bad idea to close a Mercury account to use Wise. Wise have a long history of closing accounts seemingly randomly and no reason (for example maybe you accidentally receive money from somebody who is blacklisted by Wise). It's way better to have 2 accounts than zero accounts.

Boslil in St Lucia is a good option. Well established and reliable. But their onboarding compliance is very strict. Serbia via setting up a branch is also good. We do exactly that - branch of an offshore company in Serbia for internet marketing business.

Welcome Vilma to the forum !!! We hope you can find lots of useful info.

No, to do so would be impractical. They might start Googling if they have suspicions.

E2 is classified a non-immigrant visa. This means that whether you pay tax depends on the amount of time you actually spend in the USA, and also on where you earn the money (any money earned in the US is taxable there anyway, whether or not you have any kind of visa) So you could potentially...

Not sure, I never found Nevis had a reputation problem in US. Actually US is quite open to Nevis. We have lots of clients who use Nevis LLCs to own Florida property and it works well. Nevis in my view has a cleaner reputation than Belize.

Why on earth Mexico? I can understand Germany, due to the European base, but what advantage can Mexico offer?

Yes, well it you have a point for sure. Canada will track whether you are in Canada or not. Of course you can't just go to Panama as a tourist - you should for example buy an apartment there, have a company doing some billing, have utilities in your name, and most importantly file a tax return...

It basically works fine still, though as you say they got stricter and stricter on substance

Gold is a hedge against the banking system. If banking or crypto collapses, gold will have value. I would definitely suggest keeping your gold as far away as possible from banks, governments and ETFs. My recommendation would be Global Gold in Switzerland. Very professional, Swiss regulated, but...

It's kind of true about the forms, based on my experience. You might be "unlucky" enough to get a bureaucrat who thinks, but most of the time government employees just want to follow instructions and avoid work. If the form is properly completed they just accept it for filing and let you go on...
