yes, that's all very fine and dandy.Gau wrote:I have opened bank/brokerage accounts as a non resident in a lot of countries , from Uganda to Moldova to Sri Lanka. Actually if a country wants foreign investment - either direct or in real estate or in securities - it has to allow non residents investors to open bank accounts, otherwise how could the money flow in ? Also Cambodia has a withholding tax rate specifically for non residents , for what purpose if non residents accounts were not allowed ?
Regarding Vision Fund , if they don't want new depositors why are they advertising their deposit products on their website ? And if new depositors are attracted , how can they expect they have a referral if they are new and coming from abroad ? I mean , if you want only already known people, what's the point of advertising ?
meanwhile, back in the real world, please step straight off a plane in the UK, Australian, NZ or America with nothing more than a tourist visa and try to open a bank account. Please feel free to report back your experiences.
