EMI or bank accounts for Russian with a Cyprus utility bill and Cyprus certificate of taxpayer

[Basilia]

Странно, так вы же резидент Кипра. Куча людей просто рисовало квитанцию‍ и им открывали счета. А у вас реальное резидентство. Хотя каждый день что-то меняется. Пробуйте⁠ Vivid, Gemba например. Но грохнуть то везде могут акк... В гонконге тоже, акки компаний currenxie⁤ например закрывает, neat не открывает. Кажется нужна диверсификация, и может даже счета в банках СНГ.⁣

Strange, you are a resident of Cyprus. Try vivid, gemba. But everything is dangerous now.⁢ Honkong too, currenxie is close RU accs. Diversification. Maybe real banks in ge/kz/uz.

If your bank statements show heavy use in Russia for day to day expenses then‌ forget it.

Russians unfortunately are being hit hard. Kazakhstan I know definitely works as there‍ are a few Russians in Dubai using that route. They are merely using it as⁠ a pass through and are buying up assets.

Gold Souk is busy with Russians buying⁤ up gold coins, dory and bars.

Your options are nominee
Any of the countries mentioned⁣ above and maybe Azerbaijan.

how does it work in terms‌ of personal bank account?
no, only non-Russia payments⁠

Thanks, yes I am aware about Kazakhstan, but I⁣ need a decent bank to store money

I am tax resident of Cyprus, most banks︀ will want European ID.
Do vivid, gemba work with Russian residents?

Under what permit are you staying⁠ in Cyprus?

 

[Basilia]

What do you mean by resident?⁠ They ask for receipts for electricity. That's all residency is. Only Revolut asks for a⁤ real documented residence permit (ВНЖ). (And Wise may have been closed to you because you⁣ still had a Russian address there.)

 

[CyprusLaw]

You need to separate the concepts, tax residence and residency may be connected⁠ to some extent but are two different concepts. At the moment Cyprus banks, and I⁤ believe other EU banks in general, are willing to accept people with Russian citizenship as⁣ long as they can show that they have a permanent residency elsewhere. By permanent residence⁢ this means a permanent residence permit or other similar permit allowing them to reside in︀ the specific country

 

[clemens]

would you be able to help him in this⁢ situation, no right?

 

[CyprusLaw]

Yes I would

 

[captain9]

What about US banks? Are they opening accounts now for Russians?

 

[Basilia]

I don't know, some people here write that it is.

 

[EliasIT]

I would be very carful with who you are engaging in the account opening‍ in the US - you want to find someone with reputation. As far as I⁠ remember @startfleetio is a guy heavily active around here for some time.

He may indeed⁤ be able to help you.

 

[captain9]

are there any EMIs in US?⁤ Can I just apply directly? Kinda weird in 2022 to have another person help you⁣ fill the forms

You can open a personal bank account in Georgia remotely. They accept Russian clients if‌ they confirm in writing that they consider the situation in Ukraine as a war.

 

[captain9]

thanks. Actually I have an account in Georgia in TBC. My⁠ concern is Georgians are also quite russophobic, so long term they can also suspend it.⁤ My issue is I don't have tax declarations, so I need banks that are a⁣ bit lax on DD side, that would accept my dividends docs for 2021. I will⁢ do a tax declaration in Cyprus in a couple of months, but who knows what︀ happens in these next couple of months

 

[cyprus123]

Check with a Russian bank... joke aside ;-)

Did you look into Serbia?

 

[captain9]

it is‌ impossible now

not yet, any‍ info you can share?

 

[cyprus123]

I believe it's best way to fly there and check the options in person. It‌ is a short flight from Cyprus.

 

[howyoudoin]

It must be permanent? Temporary residence permit isn't enough?⁢

 

[nobancsnoproblems]

Which? I recently called to bank of Georgia and they said⁠ in person only
