Hi, founding a company in Gibraltar isn't a big deal, but what about getting a seat of residence there (to cash out the profits from my company in a tax-friendly way)? Guess it's almost impossible to get a real estate there for reasonable prices? Any alternatives? What else can I do? Maybe...

@orcada Yes, Charles Schwab wants min. 25k from foreigners ( US-citizens don't have to meet this requirement ).

daniels27 Please don't insinuate tax evasion intention, with your fevered exclaims ("It is not very hard to guess what you are doing" / "you are going to jail"). I'm curious in what kind of reports take place behind my back, and I gonna ask the brokers. It isn't a crime wanting to know that.

Sorry, don't know which subforum to put my question to ... I'm a German citizen and looking for a broker that isn't participating in CRS. A friend recommended me Charles Schwab, which looks really good. However I don't have the minimum deposit Charles Schwab requires, so my question is, are...
