The Best Way To Open An Offshore Bank Account - Offshore Legal

There are two methods to opening an offshore account.

By Doug Swiferin

There are two methods to opening an offshore account.

The most obvious way is to book and flight and hotel, or make a side trip while on vacation.  What most people don’t realize is that most offshore banking instituations will not open an account unless you are introduced to them by a reliable source.  They will be polite and let you fill out an application, but the account will never actually open until someone vouches for you.

The proper way to open an offshore bank account is through an experienced law firm offering offshore legal services.  The cost will be roughly equivalent to the cost of a flight and hotel.

Be careful because many law firms will charge $50,000 for the same thing you can get done at more reasonable prices.

Some people are encouraged when they are offered a way to buy a company and bank account without providing proper ID.  The trouble is that this often is the perfect setup to be ripped off.  Never deal with a lawyer who doesn’t need to know who you are.
