virtual office address on offshore account

[offtalk]

Is it legal to change the account holders address ( not mailing address) of a personal offshore account to virtual office address on a different country?

 

[negon]

Yes that is legal as long as you inform the bank

 

[Okanda Fernando]

I don't think so. Since it is not truly his residing address, you cannot provide other address. Because you have to provide utility bills as a proof of your address

 

[maxmoney]

It's at least not a problem to do so, the banks never check such unless they get suspicious about something. I have virtual addresses on all my accounts!

I have VR address on all EMI accounts. works fine.

I have VR address on all EMI accounts. works fine.

does this mean
* you're using a fake address and fake proof of address (like altered utility bill)?
* you're using some "commercial" virtual address service providing you also with a proof of address for purpose like this?
* using maybe another solution?

correct - but with a little modification
