    Opening a U.S. Personal Bank Account from Abroad

    I opened Revolut US on December 20th last year. I've passed through only a few thousand. Its main purpose (for me) is verifying other accounts/cards where Wise or my Schwab brokerage fail to be accepted for this purpose.

    Opening a U.S. Personal Bank Account from Abroad

    I used a US address for which I have no proof. All I have is an ITIN and an eSIM. Not many people talk about using an US eSIM, but it was a game changer for me. I have an eSIM from Mint and when I update my address in the Mint app, the roaming IP changes to one in the area of that address. A...

    Owner's draw - Best description for the payment reference?

    How did this work out for you? Was specifying Owner Draw sufficient or did you still get a request to provide proof?

    Revolut Proof of Funds?

    Apologies for reviving this old topic, but I'm about to do the same: pay a 4 or 5 figure distribution from my US LLC to my EU Revolut account, either directly or through Wise. What kind of proof did you provide? They offer a number of options on their website, but nothing seems to be an...

    Apologies for mentioning - I have an ITIN, which they accepted.

    Opening a U.S. Personal Bank Account from Abroad

    I opened Revolut US and Go2Bank remotely. Wouldn't use them for anything serious, but they can be helpful for services that accept US cards only or require a US bank statement for address proof.

    Wise in US - how verify trading address?

    Curious to know this too. After using my home address and personal utility bill for a decade+ with multiple businesses, Wise has now decided this is no longer acceptable for my type of business. I'm now to present a lease or bill in the company name - for each business! doh948""

    Has anyone had experience changing their country of residence with IBKR

    Yes. It told me that changing the address to Panama was not possible. Support told me to open new account for aforementioned reason. After that they transferred all my stocks.

    Has anyone had experience changing their country of residence with IBKR

    I moved from EU to Panama. This required opening a new account as Panama is handled by a different IBKR entity than my home country in EU. (The system will tell you if this is the case).

    Do you actually need a website to open a business EMI account?

    Make the life of the application reviewer as easy as possible by having your business simply 'tick all the boxes'. Is it strictly required? Probably not. But why invite the additional scrutiny?

    Panama vs. UAE Residency: Is Panama Still Worth It?

    I think most people arrive at this conclusion due to Codigo Fiscal, article 694. Beyond the examples included in the law itself, I don't find it very straight-forward to be honest. Best consult a lawyer about your specific situation.

    German resident: moving away but family stays

    Depending on how exactly you're self-employed, I would expect an exit tax on that too. They won't just let you move a business abroad without getting some.

    Panama vs. UAE Residency: Is Panama Still Worth It?

    Ah. I overlooked the investors visa. That's not the path I'm following though. Mine is an employment visa (which may be restricted to friendly nations?) and the company merely serves to employ me.

    Panama vs. UAE Residency: Is Panama Still Worth It?

    I'm in this now. If you add up lawyer, CPA, immigration, company, taxes on your "salary", etc. you quickly get to 10-12K. It's definitely one of the more expensive routes, but the company+work-permit allow you to get into business locally if you like and your 200/300K won't be stuck if at any...

    Alternatives to Mercury for Non-Resident LLC?

    Could you elaborate on this? I could not find anything that suggests this is the case.

    Alternatives to Mercury for Non-Resident LLC?

    Although I did not get the W9 request (yet), I did end up doing what that YouTube CPA recommended: add another member (for 1%) to my LLC so I can legally use the W9. I have a feeling that Mercury won't be the last with this issue.

    Provider already paid taxes for an unpaid invoice?

    If you have no intention of paying they can issue a credit invoice and have the VAT returned. Imho they should avoid this issue by sending pro forma invoices prior to payment, final ones after.
