Wise Card

[wellington]

Use the wise card for paying automated bills (hosting etc) - don't even hold the physical card.

Just realised i can't order a new one come later part this year as I don't reside in the EU/UK etc.

Anyone found a way around that?

Change your address to an EU country where someone you know can forward you the envelope.

Does that put the Wise account under CRS in EU/UK? I'm also looking to do the same thing: I live in Thailand full time and Wise can't post cards to Thailand as far as I understand. If I use my UK passport and UK address with personal Wise account for personal and some business costs (web hosting FB ads etc) as well as receiving money from brokers/ crypto exchange to sent to Thailand in THB, is there any UK tax consquences for doing that?

You may use some forwarding services like cleever mail etc. to receive the card. There are dozens of such services.

Issue isn't the physical card, issue is you need to be a resident in specific countries to renew the card issuance.

Don't even hold the physical card to-day just simply use for billing payments monthly.

Well, do you recall so-called @JohnnyDoe 's solution?
(I would personally use LazPaint or perhaps Gimp... )

Seems to be cutting offerings for Thai based Brit expats...

No they won't post to Thailand, and if anything even paying monthly bill transfers get a "We are unable to give you an update at the moment."

As for CRS, you live in Thailand, it's a territorial tax based country, so as long as funds sent to Thailand are in the next tax year after earning - there is legally no tax.

As for Tax in the UK, as a non-resident there is no tax regardless inc Cap gains for Crypto... as you don't live there (or was the case the last time i checked).

This will lead to close wise account

They will know now from where you open your accounts and where the activity of your card is

Ive been using the wise card in 3 continents since '21, with an address in the EU.
