[Misson]

Hello,
I just discover this very usefull forum and first many thanks for all contributors.
Actully Im looking for the best solutions for me and I did send many emails to online specialist but answers are really differents depends on the brokers.
So, I'm totally lost. Here my situation :
Im european but I live in Asia.
I am creating website (webagency) for EU customer.
I need to invoice my customer, be paid by bank transfer and be able to withdrawal money with (very small) fees.
I do not have a big budget and I really need to know all costs before starting everything.
From what I see, there is many hidden fees and a lot of solutions look more like scams thant Real solutions.

Thank you for your help.

Welcome

You need to firstly read-up on selling of digital services into the EU or consider using a marketplace that does all this for you rather than your own website. Only then should you look for a solution that fits your needs.

Thank you very much Martin for your answer.
Actually, I dont see my activity in the list. There is "Website hosting and webpage hosting;" But there is nothing about 'Web devlopment, Web design,...)
Also, Marketplace (if you are referring to marketplace as 'upwork') is not a solution for me. I allready got my customer + fees are crazy.
I'm looking to register a company somewhere + be able to invoice my customer + get paid in a bank account and withdrawal money.
Thank you very much for your time.

Regards.

Cyprus, BVI, Malta and even the UK may be what countries you should look into in order to avoid troubles of not getting a payment gateway that supports your business activity.

If you are living in Asia I assume you are resident in an Asian country, therefore you taxes are in the Asian country not EU. If that is the case, than just set up a transferwise account, invoice your clients with those info and from there send the money to a pre-paid card. It seems to me you are running a freelancer model more than a business.

Where is the money going when you receive money on your Transferwise account? I mean will they just keep them there and you can do another transfer to your local bank account?

Yes they will keep funds there and you can send to your local account.
