Most banks in Serbia still receive payments from Russia and Belarus, and of course they work with EU.

Yes, definitely. If you have a 1 year visa it classes as residence.

Russia and Belarus are your perfect solutions for doing business with Iran and Cuba. China might be good.

I have travelled plenty of times on my Caribbean passport and never had any problems. No need to feel nervous at all IMO. Of course if you feel nervous, customs officers are trained to detect that. Trust me, they don't care you bought your passport because it's not one of their business and it...

It is ineed a pretty obscure problem. Why on earth can't this Polish company pay you in EUR? It should not be difficult for them. I do remember hearing of pre-paid cards issued by Polish banks that have their own IBANs and would accept PLN. Maybe you could get one of these cards? Prepaid...

Yes it does... works both ways (or neither way in fact)

Be careful. Everyone is having problems withdrawing funds from Hamilton at the moment. This has been going on for weeks and they keep coming up with new excuses. However Hamilton bought a new bank in Puerto Rico that has direct access to the Federal Reserve system. Therefore, you would think...

There are cheque cashing services that can cash a/c payee cheques. You can search them online. They charge a lot (5-10%) and might take a month or two to pay out, but it could be easier than the hassle of setting up a whole new bank account especially for 1 cheque.

It would be a very bad idea to close a Mercury account to use Wise. Wise have a long history of closing accounts seemingly randomly and no reason (for example maybe you accidentally receive money from somebody who is blacklisted by Wise). It's way better to have 2 accounts than zero accounts.

Boslil in St Lucia is a good option. Well established and reliable. But their onboarding compliance is very strict. Serbia via setting up a branch is also good. We do exactly that - branch of an offshore company in Serbia for internet marketing business.

Welcome Vilma to the forum !!! We hope you can find lots of useful info.

No, to do so would be impractical. They might start Googling if they have suspicions.
