OP if you are still around I would like to hear what your outcome was for the bank account opening?
@daxbr I'm not quite sure if it was because you had tried to move around and failed to disclose your addresses to the bank or if it was just in theory, but if you have tried it, then the bank has not discovered that you have moved yet?

Here is a tricky situation:
- So let's say you are a tax resident in EU country, for example, Germany.
- You fly over to Portugal and get tax residency there.
- Register everywhere as resident of Portugal.
- Claim non-resident status in Portugal.
- Now Portugal IRS receives the information from CRS, yet since they see you are a non-resident of Portugal and resident of EU country, Germany, they send the info straight to Germany.
Or this is too paranoid?

This is exactly how it works.. For this reason, before applying for portugeese tax ID, you have to use︀ address from some country with territorial taxation, when filling a form.
It works. When filling Portugeese Tax ID application, you have to file your residency address. You can use a foreign one. For example - from Panama. And they will report you to Panama. Whereas Panama has a territorial taxation, all informations they receive from Portugal are deleted immediately. Panama taxes just local sourced income and they do not care about foreign income. And as they do not need received data and there is no legal reason to store it, it is deleted. The only problem is, you have to have an tax agent in Portugal when using non EEA address. It costs something︀ around 200-300 Eur per year.
Yes. But in real - you do not need to have a residence permit in Panama. Porgugeese tax authority will not chech if you have a residence permit there or not. They will just ask for any proof of address. And they accept almost everything..
No. You can order a mail forwarding service there. And you can go to some store in the EU to buy a prepaid card. And register it the same day by using this panamian address ver the internet or phone. Registration of prepaid card does not require proof of address. And ask to have sent original card statement just few days after by the post. Mail forwarding service will forward it to you wherever you live and portugeese tax authority will be happy. They accept statements from any︀ financial company..
Exactly. Panama has a special regime when talking about post delivery. There are a few locations where no one will know that it is a mail forwarding facility.
