EMI for US company with Russian founders

[SWinja]

@Vilgelm I'm Russian with EU residence.
So I could only open an account for my‌ US LLC only at Wise. Just never show your passport during KYC process. I'm not‍ sure if there is an option to show Georigian residency card to them but they⁠ def have an option to upload EU card.
Let us know if you will be⁤ able to open an account somewhere else, since Wise is not reliable.

As for EU⁣ residence, it's quite easy to obtain one in Spain, it's called digital nomad visa.

But it's still just visa. Do they provide‍ some kind of local ID card?

Go to your home country's bank; they can open︀ a foreign entity bank account. I did this in Asia for my company in the︁ UK. You just need to complete some formalities with the bank manager, and they can︂ open the account.

A good idea in general. It really can work.
Unfortunately, in this case⁠ I am afraid that any of Georgian banks will not be able to offer an⁤ ACH payments capable account...

@Vilgelm, note this Wise and Currenxie asking for info. It might be important for you.

Your bank provide you virtul internationa⁠ account you need to talk with bank manager who handle this request

Of course, they will give your a temporal residence card.

This a nonsense if your home country is Russia 🙂 There is almost⁠ no SWIFT, most of banks are sanctioned.
However, I'd like to know if it's possible⁤ within Europe, Spain in my case. I tried to do this in one of the⁣ biggest banks, BBVA, but they said it's not possilbe. They open accounts only for big⁢ international companies / local companies

 

[Forester]

Generally, or in many times, it is possible; it always depends on⁤ how valuable customer of the bank you are.

But it is OT here; if you⁣ like to discuss this more deeply, start a new thread, please.
