My friend came home from the temple with a piece of ordinary white string which she tied on my wrist, what's it mean please?

Anyone subscribe to Mark Faber's, a Thailand resident, "Gloomboomdoom" service?

I am a U.S.A. citizen, is that a problem?

your problem is that banks don't like any additional work to please the IRS. since a few years bank accounts for U.S. citizens which are "private and confidential" are as rare as virgins in a brothel or chicken with canine teeth.

Was going to explain in a different way... but Khun Naam sum's it up nicely....

Some banks will not touch USA citizens who are trying to open offshore accounts and certainly in the case of Citi IPB in Singapore you have to sign a declaration that you are not a US citizen etc etc

The fact that you mention "private and confidential" suggests to me you might be trying to pull one over on your beloved IRS..... ....maybe not a smart move on your part trying to deal with the international banks...ie Citi/HSBC/Standard Chartered etc....big brother is watching

"local banks" in both Singapore and Hong Kong generally will not touch non-residents either

I am not trying to cheat the IRS as I have no income, if however they know about my offshore funds my wifes attorney will also find out.

I found this in my search, do you think it's a scam?

Hong Kong Corporation with Hong Bank Account

An anonymous Hong Kong Corporation is formed and a bank account is opened in the described Hong Kong Bank for the corporation with the client as the signatory on the bank account. What you get is as follows: Certificate of incorporation, Business registration certificate, Original formation documents and minutes, Minute booklet, Share certificate booklet, with chops and a seal (a chop is a corporate stamp, not a tool for eating with), One certified copy of formation documents, nominee director, nominee shareholder and nominee founder, a private trust agreement for nominee shareholder, director and founding member so the owner is not registered in the public registry yet still has all the control over the corporation while remaining anonymous, General Power of Attorney executed by the nominees, Appointment of corporate secretary for a year providing a registered office address for a year, and accountants will file your annual HK return. Courier fees from our law firm are included. The bank account is with a one trillion dollar bank in Hong Kong that offers online banking and accounts in ten different currencies. You have attorney client privilege all the way through the transaction. With the trust agreement your name is kept out of the public registry for corporations. Most competitors do not include this and the corporations will have you as the owner in the public registry.

The minimum Bank deposit is $1000 and can be included with the professional fees sent to expedite account opening and reduce wire fees.

I'm hiding from a wife, if the IRS knows, her lawyer knows.

Yeap...and similar as banks in Singapore.

question 1...Yes as far as the law allows

question 2..Yes depends which account for example Citibank gold accounts require US$ 150,000 with them, Think HSBC Premier is GBP 100,00

question 3 Yes....

You need to give more specifics...nationality/ what exactly are you trying do etc...and may be can more helpful, if you are a US citizen...my advice would be proceed with caution as regards offshore accounts.

Do they provide managed investment accounts?

when using google be sure to do englsh/thai and then reverse, often it is far from the meaning you wish to confer. Keep tweeking it until you do, often impossible. but you don't say something that can get you in trouble.
