    US LLC banking, address and reporting

    I started a US LLC last month and I opened a Mercury account a week ago. I am officially living in Europe. There is no US based owner. They did ask for the registered address (agent) and my home address. Had to prove that with a utility bill. I noticed that all banks and even payment gateways...

    [WISE] Do they close business accounts based on owner info?

    They do, it's no problem. I have several PayPal accounts for different businesses. And never tried to hide my identity or something else.

    How is BUNQ? Anyone had a frozen account?

    Best to stay away from Bunq as far as possible. Had a problem with them and it is impossible to get any kind of human and logical thinking support. Talking to their customer service is worse than talking with a chatbot. I can guarantee you that if you get a problem you will keep that problem...

    UK LTD vs Estonia OU

    This is all complicated. A grey area. I live in Thailand. It's not allowed to work at all, not for a LTD, not for a LLP. You can get a visa if you find a local company wanting to hire you, or you can start a company in Thailand. But in all other cases work is not allowed. Leaving the funds...

    UK LTD vs Estonia OU

    Can you also explain why? I have a UK LTD. Started that without even thinking about a LLP. I also live in Asia. After reading the above I googled a lot, but for my situation I see no difference between a LTD and LLP.

    Singapore or HK company but can’t open an account

    I've read a lot, they say that as a director you can pay yourself a salary, what is left is profit for the company and you can get that as a dividend. The company will pay Corporation Tax in that case. But there is no rule about how much salary you can give yourself. In most cases paying...

    Singapore or HK company but can’t open an account

    My strategy: I live most of my time in Thailand. So I am a tax resident there. Money (salary) from foreign sources is not taxed in Thailand. I have a UK LTD and all money made there is paid to me as a normal salary, so the UK LTD is not making a profit and not paying tax. This is a setup which...

    KYC / AML Questionaire. What's the least complete info I can give them?

    Some simple advice: Always use a proxy/VPN. I have my banking apps on a phone with an "always on VPN" connected with my home country. And you should also block access from these apps to the location of your phone. It's a small effort that can save you a lot of hassle. And if you do not want...

    Incorporating a cryptocurrency hedge fund in Singapore as a Thailand resident

    I live in Thailand. With most visa you are not allowed to work. But it's a grey area. "Thailand does not tax foreign income of any kind as long as you don't bring it into the country in the same year you earned it, even if you earned it while in Thailand. " This is wrong. The "even if you...

    Maybe you can describe what you want to do and what you need? You need to verify a service with a real US sim card and you are looking for a provider to do that for you? Do you really need US? The problem with US sim cards is that they are expensive. I am doing social media automation and...

    EMIs for relocating to Thailand

    I live in BKK and I use the N26 and Transferwise credit cards without problems. I use these cards if I can pay by credit card. If I want cash money from an ATM I use Transferwise to transfer money to a local bank account. Revolut has a less favorable exchange rate in Thailand so I only took it...

    Non-app EMI with scans verification for UK LTD

    Bilderlings looked nice. Till I saw Pricing Almost everybody is an "INTERNATIONAL CLIENT". And the prices are really ridiculous. EUR 750 setup, EUR 200 monthly maintenance fee. And on top of that very high transfer fees. I think even CIM is cheaper?
