clarification. maybe retail banks do. private - don't.

Switzerland is not asking for sure.

Are you sure they actually count days? Few people told they do not.

Not in private banks. Everyone is ok with it if they can figure out your initial passport and place of birth.

seems Bahrain is ok. just procedures are not streamlined.

Hello, Are you expecting any negative issues if one provides his St. Kitts passport as citizenship and tax residency? Person wants to spend there 2-3 month at winter, own proper real estate there. Bank's compliance already confirmed that such residency is FINE. However, do you think any...

Hello, Does anyone know when St. Kitts' passport holder gets tax residency? I can not find any official data. Does it happen automatically when you have passport (later amplified by place of abode, etc.)?

Maybe I do not understand, but seems like you are not following this direction - how "they" will know my bank account swiss bank account even exist?

I am also thinking this is unlikely. Even if I buy real estate. I can register all valuable stuff on relative who clearly lives in some other place.

But this is easy to avoid and 99% of swiss banks will not go for it. About me - I am worried because I may forget something and become something more than long term tourist, but that will be very vague in my case. Anyway - data direction is Switzeland-UAE, so I do not think that is relevant...

I am talking about bank account data. How in countries I visit they even know about existence of the account?

Guys, why does it matter at all? Get back to my question above. Switz is not in EU. Data shall not come to EU even if some country shall start claiming I am tax resident there (IMHO, very low chance).
