IT ISN’T CRIMINAL TO HAVE AN OFFSHORE BANK ACCOUNT

Contrary to popular belief, you won’t get in trouble with the law for opening your own offshore bank account to transfer some or most off your assets there.

The process can get very complex however and if you don’t follow the set rules and regulations you may face some serious consequences. Misconceptions surrounding offshore banking are further fuel by criminal activity in the form of high stake tax evasions and money laundering lawsuits. So in truth, the only way for offshore banking to be considered criminal is if you intend it to be. Other than that, it gives you loads of benefits.

WHY DO MOST PEOPLE OPT TO MANAGE THEIR FINANCES OFFSHORE?
Offshore banking is actually a very lucrative industry which contributes greatly to the progress of international economy. Apart from this, it offers a lots of benefits for you as an individual.

Here are some of the advantages of opening your own offshore bank account:
1. Secure funds during political turmoil
This is perhaps the main reason why most individuals prefer to open offshore bank accounts. Since your assets have been secured outside the country, it limits the risk of having them diluted by a government that is going through a recession. It affords you financial security in times of crisis.

2. Reliable banking systems
Offshore banks are governed by a strict international justice system which facilitates a more conservative system. Trust that your assets will not be gambled away.

3. Protection of valuable assets
Having your assets transferred to a foreign account makes you a less attractive target for ill-repute organizations or an overzealous government to seize or freeze your assets.

4. Diversification of currency
When you have foreign currency, makes you a more powerful foreign buyer, expand your portfolio threat and at the same time have your savings internationalized.

5. High interest rates
This speaks for itself. You benefit from higher returns for your foreign deposits.

6. Allows you access to foreign medical care
In the event you cannot procure medical care in your country, having foreign accounts affords you access to medical assistance abroad.

7. Gives you more privacy
This is both a benefit and a slippery slope for some. Certain provisos give you the option of not reporting you assets for taxation. Remember to always consult your tax advisor regarding the extent and limitations of asset declarations.

8. More Freedom
Offshore banking gives you a host of banking options. It puts more control in your hands.

A friend of mine told me that when I'm going and setup an offshore company with bank account it is illegal and I will risk prison or at least high penalty. But you say no it's not the case. What shall I believe?

Like I said before in some threads, offshore banking has its place in legal structure. There are legitimate purposes associated with it.
 
The only thing one really need to be aware of is to let your tax office know about the account or make sure that they never find out what you are doing.
 
It has never been illegal to own a offshore bank account, only to withdraw Money without to inform your tax office about it!
This is something new to me. I didn't know that withdrawing money from the offshore bank account was illegal if you don't inform the tax office first. Thank you for the information
 
No it is not illegal as many already have said and as this initial post already explain. You can have as many offshore companies and offshore bank accounts as you like just make sure you inform your local tax office about it if you want to stay legal ;)

If you don't do, make sure you don't have your own name on any of the documents. Use an dead south american from Mexico or Brazil!
 
If you setup some e-wallet to protect your offshore account to be recognized by local banks you get a pretty good anonymous banking setup which isn't illegal I believe ;)
 
Despite the fact it is not illegal I would use some anonymous setup where I at least use VPN / VPS to setup my offshore account. I would also not open a personal account but only open a business account.
 
Nice share OP, thanks for the information also to the other posting here it helps.
