One thing to keep in mind about off-shore banking for those who hold that nice US passport - FATCA law. It requires all off- shore banks to submit the names of American Citizens holding accounts to the IRS. And, you would never know about it, until you get Audit Notice from your friendly IRS office.

This was the perfect topic for a video! It has been weighing on my mind. I imagine, ideally, one would want the option of getting a self-directed brokerage account attached to the bank account so that one can get some kind of return above just savings account interest while avoiding wealth management fees. I don't know how prevalent that kind of thing is in a place like Switzerland. Unless you think the wealth management fees are worth it. Great video.

You can get swiss account starting from 250k if you know people. Also about 25% of swiss banks do take Americans. Its all about knowing people, same way like you need ridiculous requirements in usa to get amex black card (centurion)... usually takes few years, invitation, have to spend 500k a year on their lower tier card for few years, etc, etc... yet via swiss banks you can get it in one week if you open bank account worth 1 mil. I would say stick to swiss, singapore and uae. Their currency also appreciates against usd and euro. Well uae dirham pegged to usd, but yeah, anyways, you get the gist- take into consideration the inflation. Lastly, forgot to mention scandinavian countries, very stable, i would argue norway is the safest in the world, due to politics, and having 1.3 trillion fund, only few countries in the world that technically has no debt. p.s. In general, by far #1 is swiss, due to the strong franc, safety, privacy, history etc.

How do you feel about Japan as a banking jurisdiction? The large banks seem to be extremely well capitalized with large balance sheets. Opening accounts as a resident took a while. Got approved for Rakuten way before any of the other banks like SMBC, MUFG, Japan Post etc. I'm not sure how bureaucratic they are compared to other places. The yen has been beaten down but a lot of the banks have multi currency deposits with GBP, USD and EUR being options.

@OffshoreCitizen Год назад

We're not at that stage yet There's lots of people who have been calling for these things for decades and it doesn't happen. You'd think people would stop listening to them but apparently not because it's always just around the corner. I think it's really important to have accurate mental models about how things work otherwise you make suboptimal decisions. In this case its the investing expression "being too early is the same as being wrong". A bit of banking diversification and you'll be fine at this stage. In the future that could change but we're not there yet. We need to reach the point where there's insufficient productivity to bail out the losses & an escape hatch for people to choose instead. Neither of those exist yet. I'd guess it's a minimum 10 years until we get there it takes quite a while for an alternative to gain sufficient momentum.

The first most important question is "can you open accounts as a non resident?" For most the answer is no so they are automatically excluded. After that it's a question of the quality of the institutions available focusing here mostly on bank safety followed by available services. Generally South Korean banks are safer vs Japan & Macau.

Banks will give your information to OECD, and they will report it to your local tax authorities

@OffshoreCitizen Год назад

Well no they turn over the information to the local government, which shares the details with your country of residency in most cases. The treaty for this was created by the OECD but the OECD doesn't actually process the information.

I'm surprised to hear that Andorra still accepts russian citizens. Thai banks open accounts for russian citizens if you have Thai elite visa (need to provide address in Thailand). I think there is less risk of your account being shutdown in Asia than in places like Andorra.

wrong, just pay your taxes, it's easier

@OffshoreCitizen Год назад

Offshore banking generally has nothing to do with tax. But generally it's best to minimize your tax as much as legally possible

you think "truckers" blocking streets was legal?

@OffshoreCitizen Год назад

Huge supporter of the truckers, not at all a supporter of Trudeau or how he handled it

@qetoinfinity2086 Год назад

@@OffshoreCitizen blocking the streets was a very mild reaction to Trudeau's communism. In the country where I was born, when the people rose up the Trudeau of that time was put against a wall & bang bang, a fitting end for a communist tyrant.
