It just occurred to me that while combing through many online wallet services and debit card providers, many of them are using a Lithuania EMI as their partner. What makes Lithuania in particular a good place for EMIs to incorporate in, as opposed to other EU countries?

Yeah, my point was just that I don't really like the things that Putin is up to these days, but I can understand why some people would want to use this residence scheme.

Actually I am American so I would obviously never defend whatever Russia is doing. I'm just stating my opinion. I also know that going to Russia is not ideal at all, especially since the Russian banking system has to work with sanctions now. Personally I would not advise anyone to do this...

I'm guessing people in third-world countries and in particular sanctioned nations like Cuba who otherwise have no chance of gaining entry into the financial system are jumping at this opportunity. Well, it's better than nothing.

It doesn't make sense for a company to be using a personal account if it is incorporated. If it's not actually incorporated then you could guess that it's a single guy trying to get B2B payments to his personal account. Would that not seem suspicious to his bank?

Nope, not in the US currently, but I'd imagine that the whole thing would go smoothly if I just visited a branch to apply there, right?

Some feedback on this. I just attempted to open a Capital One 360 online account. Gave them the last residential address that I had, as well as the SSN and other info, as well as a US VoIP number I had purchased. They didn't ask for ID or proof of address to be uploaded anywhere, but they did...

No, that was just a joke. You cannot put your real name on crypto transactions except for the ones done from an exchange.

Nice findings. But what happened to all those Pending application EMIs? They can't keep it like that forever.

Yes I live there. Those are actually some really good ideas, but I don't (currently) have any US partners yet. It might be something for me to look into though. I don't need it for anything else special, just to get the cards and stuff forwarded really like you mentioned. Where I live, I can...

By the way, some countries like Turkey will actually interrogate you at the airport if they find that you have multiple passports. I found out at Wikileaks. It is useful if you're from a country that has very limited financial service, like any sanctioned country. Or if you would like to more...

I'm continuing this discussion in a new thread because now it is related to a different topic. A couple days ago, I asked about setting up e-commerce payouts as a US expat. I was advised that it would be easier if I used US providers. For example: Now obviously, if you want to use US banks...

I'm wondering if these are one-time payments or recurring. If you're able to tell me that, I would appreciate it, otherwise disregard this. I can spend about $1000, maybe $2000 if the BTC bull run comes early. Of course, depending on the offers available, I can adjust this.

I'm back, this time with a different issue. These days I have been looking into setting up a store, like WooCommerce, Shopify, Etsy and those sort of things, but I have always ran into one problem - payouts. You see, I am living inside a third-world country, where payouts to said place are not...

Reminds be a lot about US tax law to be honest. I think more countries will start to adopt it too.
