I'm pretty sure you can submit your UAE address proof, they just care where the company is incorporated

I sent this in fact and they blocked me saying they couldn't work with me.
I have heard of other people who have this problem, I don't know how
From what I understand they want those who work with them to be resident in the same country as the company

Please share their full reason for account block.
They should have sent you an email explaining why they blocked you

They don't like UAE residents and ideally want the clients living in the same country as the company.

What business are you in

I do dropshipping and i know some people do this from UAE
But I don't know how they do.
Now shopify payments told me that they can accept only UK residency for director.
How can I send proof of my UK address? Utilities bills? etc
Thanks

change ownership to yourself personally so Stripe can verify owner and just say you live in any EU country

How can i do this?
In stripe settings?
I need to change to Italy for example?

Im thinking if your UK LLP is owned by yourself and not a freezone then surely they can verify you

and in terms of taxation there isnt any difference since you will be taxed in UAE anyhow

The FZ Company should sell the UK LLP shares to you and it Should Also reflect in companieshouse

Yes but llp doen't have shares, for this i'm director of llp and I have an llp agreement between me and my fz company that we have 50% profit.
For this, I not live in UK and stripe tell me it want my UK home address verification.
I hear that some people can verify with monzo statement
Can you help me?
Really thanks

So easy, to solve this. Go inside the mentor group and see whow they solve the problems there. I have found my way through all this s**t and has been working for the last 8 months no question asked.

You live in the UAE you can just set up a UAE PSP. Unfortunately if I had seen this earlier we could have met for a coffee as I'm here currently but leave tomorrow afternoon.

Google search local PSP's there are a few.

They Mercury Payment Services,UAE seem to fit what you are looking for. I don't understand that you considered stripe at all for your UAE company.

If you really want to use your LLP setup you have to open a UK LTD, give it 5% of the LLP so that you can have a local UK director. You'll have to pay 19% tax on the 5% of the LLP that's owned by the LTD.

Great idea @marzio , thanks. Can you explain further this setup, is 5% minimum for UK LTD to be local director?

Thanks in advance
