Hm thats not electronic music :D

hunterfogarty in #vietnam 1d

Thanks for the breakdown. For my first visit I think I'll probably appreciate being close to everything, so probably D1 makes the most sense.

I experienced increased scrutiny leaving KL for Hanoi yesterday, too. I went to the AirAsia counter for a document check but the agent didn't check anything or gave me a boarding pass, just said I could proceed to the gate because my documents would be checked there. At the gate I saw that everyone else had a physical boarding pass. When it was my turn the checkin agent triple checked all pieces of info on my eVisa with unusual scrutiny and after letting me through another very official looking person (looked like a federal agent, not an airline employee) did the same and checked my passport with a magnifying glass as if to make sure it's not fake. I was quite perplexed at the whole procedure. I must add that the people around me standing in line looked Malay. They seem to be scrutinizing foreigners for some reason.

intrepidtr in #vietnam 1d

The percentage doesn't seem to matter. I even got a warning but I submitted it anyway and got approved no problem.

slaster in #vietnam 1d

In Da Nang!? I feel like they’re way less pushy here than in other cities in Vietnam.
Pissing I have seen , but they usually do it tucked away against a wall or pole, so at least there’s some kind of consideration.
Some trash yes, but it’s not like it smells or your have to walk over it, mostly unobtrusive imho

slaster in #vietnam 1d

D1/3 is super walkable everything in one place. Can recommend

suitcasesavant in #germany 1d

all i can say is once you have the letter from your landlord that you live there it's easy as pie. just need that and your passport. but you need that letter

eliasluoto in #vietnam 1d

Great! Either works for me. How about rbijkstak

The HK phone number doesn't always work for all the Chinese apps but many will if you need to do 2FA to sign up for something...it's hit or miss but better than nothing

My Revolut eSIM for example

tomjamesdj in #china 1d

You don’t need visa. You stay in the airport during connection

I need to register for corporate tax I believe. How do I do this? Is there any tutorial on the matter?

paul040 in #germany 1d

It's called wohnungsgeberbestätigung

allgo in #vietnam 1d

Magnifying glass?! Didn't see that yesterday...

But the Air Asia gate people called out a number of countries (many from the EU), and looked at people's passports (briefly).

The most annoying part about Air Asia is that they weigh your carry-on. I paid 100 MYR for extra weight and they still pestered me to rebalance all my luggage so that my LAPTOP backpack and my carryon suitcase be under 14kg combined. As if anyone else but me would have to lift them. The check in lady gave some silly reason that the overhead compartment wouldn't support the weight.

Oh, and their electronic kiosks were super buggy.

allgo in #taxes 1d

Trust large sums into DAI, and wire into Coinbase as needed to convert to fiat

katharine in #general 1d

Is there no marketing chat anymore?

tonyd in #vietnam 1d

Remember that a lot of countries want 6+ months of validty for entry.. so if you are under 12 months left, get a new passport now.

majariusz in #china 1d

Revolut esims for China don't require VPNs?

promptflix in #thailand 1d

Do they still check for onward travel for Thailand - getting tired of paying the onward ticket tax

richaz in #thailand 1d

Yes, I’m talkin about Mae Hong Son Loop

overflow10 in #taxes 1d

It’s what I struggle with as well.

One approach, apart from Georgia, is opening an Estonian OÜ.

Then open a business bank account with LHV. Through LHV you can then open a personal account.

overflow10 in #taxes 1d

Other option would be UAE. Once you have the residency, you can open a personal bank account with Wio. The other local banks are stricter, so you‘d need a rental contract, for example. And renting is expensive AF in UAE.

Currently finding out the hard way that tax free in Dubai doesn’t mean you won’t have to pay anything..

bunnyflaneur in #estonia 1d

There are 3 to check out
I tried sending a message with links and the bot nuked it
Hessnery
Scandium Living
Larsen House

bunnyflaneur in #estonia 1d

I don’t know much about H. Larsen is fun, well regarded, but higher end priced for the space you’re getting. My friend lives in Scandium and it looks solid, but maybe feels less like a true Coliving and more like an apartment with communal amenities.

alexshepilo in #taxes 24h

Singapore will let you open bank account as a non register if you have and willing to put 250k there.

alexshepilo in #taxes 24h

There are ways to open a bank account in UAE as a non resident, but its a) subject for aproval and b) you need to invest with the bank (by bonds, etfs etc), usually at 150k usd and above.

wugge in #estonia 24h

Thank you soo much for this!

wugge in #estonia 24h

It was though comparing this, was the booking easy for you or did you have to do it a lot in advance?

bunnyflaneur in #estonia 24h

I haven’t used one. I know Larsen is easy as long as there’s the room and location you want available.

alexshepilo in #taxes 24h

Revolut is technically a bank. They have a bank license for several years now.

bunnyflaneur in #estonia 24h

They have a community manager who organizes events for the residents. I feel like this is the fun pick. But there’s a big first month payment to start renting a room monthly.

bunnyflaneur in #estonia 24h

I was also going to rec a coworking space I’m at now and got muted by the bot

wugge in #estonia 24h

The rooms still seem quiet cheap, I don't mind that they are small, so I'm fine with that

Do you think all locations offer a quiet similar experience?

bunnyflaneur in #estonia 24h

Booking most things in Estonia goes smooth like butter

wugge in #estonia 24h

I used to be at spaces coworking, it was quiet nice cause they had some billing issue so it was literally free 😄
but I was not in a coliving back than

wugge in #estonia 24h

happy for another recommendation though, but I'll probably pick whatever is close to my living place

bunnyflaneur in #estonia 24h

If you want to see the vibe a little better, there’s a YouTuber who did a walkthrough of Larsen House. Manan Anwar’s channel. H I only know exists. Scandium feels more residential but you’ll find a mix of people and some want to socialize. Larsen seems the most techy/nomady.

bunnyflaneur in #estonia 24h

Fraqmented. Right in the old town. Just started up and half the price of other ones. Friendly, cozy space and strong diverse network .

wugge in #estonia 24h

oh it's so good to hear back from someone who knows about this stuff

wugge in #estonia 24h

thanks a lot

wugge in #estonia 24h

sounds cool! they don't have office chairs and normal desks though looking at the pictures?

wugge in #estonia 24h

I'm a little traumatized from selina's coworking spaces having way too low tables and wooden chairs in south america 😄

gummywormeater in #japan 23h

Is anyone in Fukuoka currently?

gummywormeater in #japan 23h

Or Hiroshima

bunnyflaneur in #estonia 23h

It’s not that bad. Low back office chairs. You’re welcome to come poke your head in.

wugge in #estonia 22h

Thanks, I guess I'll be there in around a month 🙂

mvremmerden in #japan 21h

Osaka, but in Hiroshima from 27th

tobiasschuemann in #spain 21h

Someone in or around Denia?

slaster in #vietnam 21h

Really dislike this about Vietjet as well. Anytime I fly with them I just spring right for their premium package that includes the carryon allowance. Such a pain to address that in the airport, especially since they only take cash sometimes

maciejcupial in #peru 21h

Hey, just arrived to Lima, any place where nomads are gathering? Like a coffee shop, co working etc?

maciejcupial in #peru 21h

amusedalex in #general 21h

Great idea, how can we make one?

amusedalex in #general 21h

Maybe a LinkedIn pod too, no? Lol

elpol in #thailand 19h

Depends on the officer

intrepidtr in #vietnam 19h

I fly with a 5 kg carry-on and no checked baggage. Never needed more, never had an issue with any airline.

And they put you in the embarrassing situation of having to open your luggage in the middle of the airport and shuffling things around

Hi Everyone… Am working on an AI chatbot for nomads. Could you pretend to be a nomad asking your queries.. Would love all your help to sharpen this out. mgdtcfkmmjdbmqf

bobbyk0312 in #introduce-yourself 6h

I sent a few queries and the responses were good, but what's different than using native AI like ChatGPT?

bhargavaman in #vietnam 6h

If the offer still stands, I'm in!

suhail in #vietnam 6h

Is there a nomad/indiehacker community in Ho Chi Minh? Would love to meet others over the next week if anyone's around 👋 I'm a new nomad building video editing tools :)

jesseclark in #vietnam 4h

The things you cite as "refined" just seem like party culture to me. I guess everyone has a different definition.

jesseclark in #vietnam 4h

Could anyone who has flown in to Hanoi International give me a ballpark expectation of the time required to get through immigration?

cmin764 in #general 2h

As Nomad capitalist was quoting, find a place for yourself where you're treated best, then work it from there.

What you're mostly interested in is a place where you can get your fiscal residency without staying too much in that country (as you're traveling often), so you have a few options like: Cyprus, Dubai, Malaysia, Paraguay, but there are also ways to mimic that, like electricity bill in Malta or arriving in Cyprus greek side, driving to the turkish north side, then taking a boat to Turkey and traveling from there, while returning back the same route 2 months later to simulate you've stayed two months in Cy.

cmin764 in #taxes 2h

- Wise: pretty safe, I've been keeping there six figure numbers, even paid my house through it, they're an ex-Stanford bank, working with real banks, way better than most traditional banks on compliance, trust, support and privacy. (they don't ask too many questions, nor informing third parties about your activity) — very good for US/GB local accounts and cheap/free transfers
- Revolut: better for EU side of things and as a buffer bank, to which you top-up funds from Wise, convert at a slightly better FX, then tunnel funds further to your personal banks if not spending straight from there
Both guaranteed for up to 100k insurance, but that goes with most of the banks anyway.

There's also fintech for businesses as well: Airwallex, Currenxie, Statrys, which don't charge maintenance fees, just a small deposit fee when you get money, charging no fees on domestic transfers.

——

I actually opened a business in Hong Kong in just a few days (might be an alternative for you Stefan) with an Airwallex account and minimal papers/proofs required. It's good for asset protection and tax optimization due to the offshore corp tax exemption (0% if you don't do business within HK), then you get out of the company profit as dividends after settling purchase invoices to your own onshore business if going through such dual structure to ensure a fiscal residency in your jurisdiction of choice.

chrisnatterer in #taxes 2h

Wise is safe until it isn’t. There are an unlimited number of posts on Reddit on a daily basis of people who, at least for them, totally out of the blue had their Wise account restricted/blocked/deactivated. If seen more of these posts for Wise than for any other bank/fintech.

sergeykhanukaev in #thailand 2h

And as well depends on your stamp history, overstay and so on. If your history is clean, you always exit on time, never collect anything for your criminal record - nobody will bother (not a 100% guarantee though). You probably sense the direction. 🙂

tomjamesdj in #china 1h

Nope. It’s routed through HK. When I land in China with this SIM, I have WhatsApp, Facebook etc. access. Love it

majariusz in #china 1h

This is gold. Thanks Tom. I've been a Revolutionary for years 😎✌️

tomjamesdj in #china 1h

Haha yes! Love it. The only problem is that you can’t use ChatGPT because that is blocked in Hong Kong.

majariusz in #china 1h

You can't use their website, but you could probably get an automation working integrated with telegram where you ping openAI or other ai providers API endpoints. Or via hugging face API's

There are examples with make.com or n8n on yt

tomjamesdj in #china 1h

Yeah or just turn on my VPN haha

tomjamesdj in #china 1h

LetsVPN is amazing for my needs in China. So cheap as well

smoothiebowls in #vietnam 56min

Usually it’s about 30-50 minutes if you are entering at about 9pm-11pm

Oh arrival? Yeah 30 minutes is a good estimate. Peak times can be a little more.

oskars in #vietnam 53min

It's fast, no questions asked from officer so it only depends on a queue. I believe it was less than 20 minutes for me in the morning.

majariusz in #vietnam 53min

About to be 47 in a few weeks lol actually coming with a +1 so 48 😜

majariusz in #china 52min

Or that 🤣

smoothiebowls in #vietnam 51min

Morning flights are a good bet, when I’ve flown in at about 6am usually there’s no line yet.

smoothiebowls in #vietnam 49min

You should pick the line next to handicapped line as they will occasionally let people in when there’s no line there. Also line up next to ones without staff in it, as if the officer comes to work it then you can rush to the new line and save time

tomjamesdj in #china 46min

Slightly off topic, but I’m using Perplexity now and you can choose from different models for it to use, such as ChatGPT. Not sure if that is blocked but I’ll find out soon.
