Yup, didn't know that and I can easily do quarterly if that makes it look less concerning, even halfly / yearly if you think it is needed?

thanks - I've had a look at your very detailed post and it's very intriguing (actually, I fell down the non-resident UK company rabbit hole, but I don't trust HMRC one bit haha). Will pick through it properly this week but just wanted to say I appreciate it - makes the US very interesting.

just want to say, I'm new here (haven't been living on an island), but that was the best post thread title and wildest read I've stumbled on in a while

Wow very good point - when you start to look into moving abroad and optimising strategies, you often do an all or nothing approach, whereas both the US suggestion and Cyprus show that you can potentially pick what works. I guess i need to do a lot more research as I was only starting to get...

Ah the 2012 Bail In permanently crossed Cyprus off my list - sure it wouldn't happen again (and you'd want to not hold money in the country) but it sets precedent

Now you've gone and done it! My dad was actually raised in Guernsey and my wife fell in love with it when i took for her for our honeymoon - it seemed quite opaque a system to get your head around, but I was confusing this maybe with residency requirements. Checking now it's 0% tax on foreign...

Can't swing Thailand with the missus (I love it) because it's a little too far away from her family timezone-wise! Not even the latest season of White Lotus will do it! Interesting you mention HK over SG? Did you work with a company to get started and was it tough getting the bank accounts etc

That's a cool company! I'd never heard of it before. 5.9% fee is pricey, but I suppose you're paying for simplicity. Incidentally, I remember you from my post about Bermuda shutting down the digital nomad visa: Bahamas appeals to me - wife likes sound of Antigua because it's one of the safer...

Have you ever had problems with banks? I've heard they're a nightmare for crypto related transactions?

Yeah I actually heard someone mention this recently and it seems too good to be true! My wife has a green card, and I already have banking in US because of it so it would be lovely. Am i right in thinking that you'd be able to register in Delaware and then only pay federal tax, but get a...

wow this got so many responses! I'm shocked, don't know even where to start!! thank you to everyone! almost all of my work would be done for UK clients / companies and we'll most likely end up back there as I said (though I've heard the UHNW cycle 180 / 120 / 120 days a year without becoming...

I hope it does, but I'm not sure if IRS will let that much slide! I'd maybe take advantage of the case handler change to turn over a new leaf and see what you can wangle! Good luck!

I believe so, at least with passive income, but be ready with supporting paperwork if it's a large payment in case they stop it and run AML!

Hello! Quite new to this forum, but stumbled upon it when Bermuda pulled the rug on the digital nomad visa and everyone has been so welcoming that I thought I'd ask a harder question! British citizen, with active property interests (mainly in companies) Antigua CBI in the final stages Wife...

Thanks so much everyone! I'm so pleased I discovered this forum! I will take a look at both of those – we were also planning on looking at Bahamas too, for similar reasons, so all is not lost. Barbados I found to be really pleasant in the past, and didn't know about their tax position so...
