What are the new requirements to open Seychelles company + CYP Bak Account?

[clemens]

A friend of mine that I told to get a package similar to mine came back to me yesterday and told me he had to provide a lot more information and documents thant just a copy of passport and a utility bill in English! I was wondering if some was possible able to post the requirements to open a Seychelles company and Cyprus bank account, I would like all the requirements listed here if possible.

To accomplish both easely you simply need to provide the following:

1. copy of valid passport‌
   
   
2. copy of utility bill not older than 3 months if not in English a translation‍ from a certified translater is required.
   
   
3. bankers reference letter from your current bank for your⁠ person, only for some of the banks it is required.
   
   
4. brief business description about the⁤ activity of the company 3 - 5 lines not just 3 words!
   
   
5. aLL incorporation documents⁣ with Apostille (we will provide if the company is registered with our help) and Certificate⁢ of Good standing (only if the company is more than 1 year old)
   
   
6. the physical︀ place of managing the operations of the company. Registered office address is not acceptable by︁ the bank any longer.
   
   
7. the tax identification number and country of tax residency
   
   
8. the initial︂ application that will be send to you by us
   
   

Note in some cases the bank︃ or the registry will have more questions that need to be answered in order to︄ complete the process.

Why do they need to know the tax identification number for the client / customer‌ and country of tax residency? this is new!! :smiley_257:

I think because they have to report your incoming transfers of the account you open‌ with this bank to your local tax auth. it seems to be standard for most‍ banks around. I don't know if they really report it or just ask for it⁠ because they must!!

Can we open offshore account without all this info and question? in other country or‌ all country already ask?

That would be cool.. do you know Admin‍ any possibility anywhere?

Are these all mandatory for all banks around? and︅ only banks or also for offshore company formation? Just wondering since some new requirements are︆ in your list which wasn't applicable last year when I got my SC company!

I don't think that's going to happen, these requirements seems to be minimum requirements for now,‌ more will come anytime soon 🙁

 

[JohnLocke]

I agree with you, will have‍ to wait and see what the next will be 🙂

 

[clemens]

All these will soon be minimum requirements to open a Cyprus bank account or any‌ other offshore account. Just wait and see, all banks will be required to collect such‍ information and much more in the future.
