Hello folks,
I wanted to know what is the situation with exchange rate in Argentina after deregulation? Has taking out money from ATM became reasonable?
I am considering Cordoba as one of the next locations to work from, but I do not want to deal with the shady black exchange markets.
Thanks 
Open an investment checking account with Charles Schwab. They refund ALL ATM fees and convert at the current exchange rate with no conversion feesโฆ Most ATMs recognize Schwab cards for at least 2 million VND here in Da Nang. My statement shows returned ATM fees and the withdrawal in USD (2 million VND = US$92.26. No minimum deposits required. Itโs the best banking deal on the planet.

Yep, Charles Schwab is a bank. Hereโs info about their no ATM-fee checking account: http://www.schwab.com/public/schwab/banking_lending/checking_account
Iโm in Buenos Aires. Getting money from the ATM is easy. That said, only some ATMs take my card and I can only withdraw up to 2400 pesos per transaction with a max of two transactions per day. I think the ATM fees are high at around 84 pesos (it varies) if I want to withdraw 2200 pesos, but I use Charles Schwab because they refund me all the fees.
@sfomadeze @yako Thanks guys, this is helpful. @sfomadeze Can you expand a little bit on โCharles Schwabโ what it is and how it works? Is that just a bank that has favourable terms? That can be helpful to have all ATM fees refunded
Sure, the spread is much smaller. The blue market is mostly for money launders now 
After being told it's unworkable in Puerto Escondido, looking for alternatives :)
I am planning to travel to Mexico City next weekend and stay for 7-10 days there. I wonder if cafes, stores and other places like these work? And if cafes work, do they work as usual or only for take away&delivery? Will be very thankful if someone can help here.
I have an commerce website. We get around 1000 orders per month and this is going to get quite a bit bigger in next few years.
I am British. I live in Thailand.
Im not allowed to majority own a Thai business and small foreign entrepreneurs are not really welcome. So i need an offshore company.
I need PayPal and an ecommerce internet merchant account. Also looking at alternatives like worldpay. 2checkout etc
Does PayPal need me to be a resident to the country i register my account to? Are there complications being a non resident to get other payment solutions?
Apparently in Hong Kong you need 2 years trading history to get an Internet Mechant Account and they generally turn their noses up at those with less than $1m(us) a year turn over. Singapore seems a bit easier.
I really want to avoid paperwork and book keeping. I hate it.
So i was looking at Seychelles, Panama, BVI, Belize.
Does anyone have experience with payment providers in these countries?
Most nomads i see donโt really have a high volume of small monthly transactions which i do. Im going around in circles and donโt know where to start.
Ill also need a bank account for business and a personal bank account to pay my salary into
Is there an affordable way to incorporate in Singapore?
I asked an agency and they charge around SG$11000 for the whole package.
Iโd like to find a cheaper option since Iโm just starting out.
Any recommendations?
Anyone want to share their strategy/tips for finding out what to do when you arrive at new location, and/or finding about ongoing events (for example when staying for longer term)?
Anyone have any suggestions for great incorporation companies who have full services?
Iโm looking for a company who can handle accounting, incorporating and book keeping (online) for Hong Kong.
Would appreciate any recommendations.
Whatโs the best way to find a designer or developer job for one year in Argentina or Brazil?
Iโm thinking about traveling super slow - 1 year per country.
What would be the best strategy to find full-time work in South America (Argentina, Brazil, Chile)?
Anyone did something similar?
Hey nomads,
Iโm looking for the best location to incorporate my online business (offshore programming and so on).
The main requirements:
Iโm only one owner of the company (not EU/US resident).
Iโve checked jurisdictions like BVI/Belize/Nevis and iโm interested in it. It would be appreciated if you could give me some kind of advice, if you have experience with one of these jurisdictions.
My budget for incorporation < $1500
Thanks!
Which is your favourite country in the world to incorporate and why?
I have a product that I plan to retail in the EU, Japan, the USA, Canada and New Zealand. Where should I incorporate?
I currently have a log of cheques form clients written to my name.
Iโm not yet setup as a corporation in Hong Kong, but am thinking about doing so. Will I be able to deposit these cheques from my name into my business bank account?
Also, I wish to continue to receive cheques to my name. Will I be able to deposit them into my business based in Hong Kong?
Hi guys 
I manage a French limited company. My business partner and I are digital nomads. The company pays all companyโs expenditures and we pay ourselves for our plane tickets, accommodations, and so on. We would save a lot of money if the company could pay for some of our expenditures but we need to justify that these expenditures are for-business only. Have you ever have this experience?
More broadly, how can we optimize our corporate taxation as digital nomad companies?
One of my thoughts is to consider ourselves as expatriates. Therefore, the company should pay some of our expenses such as travel, accommodation, or school for children. It will be great for the company because it will decrease its profits (i.e. its taxation). But, how to justify setting up a expat contract?
If you have any advice for us and other digital nomad companies, please share

Hi there nomads,
Iโm currently working on a project (or attempting to) but am struggling to find collaborators. I need someone with a specific talent/ability but donโt know where to look.
Specifically, I would like to build an app or a device using programmed hardware (Eg: raspberry Pi)
I could use Elance or post on Facebook, but I have a very fast turnaround time and would rather contribute to this community. I 've posted via Twitter.
I was wondering if there is any kind of talent or collaboration board on here that I could post to?
Iโm a digital nomad with a goal of visiting as many different cities as possible.
I travel each month to a different city (with good weather) in a different country and I never repeat the same country in the same year for diversity (except when visiting home).
I choose where to go next by pinpointing the top cities from the nomadlist.com (which is constantly updated according to the weather, if Iโm not mistaken) in a personal Google Map, I then see whatโs the nearest country according to my current location and I plan everything 1 or 2 months ahead.
In December I always go home (Portugal) to spend time with my family and then in January I start all again.
Sometimes in order to get to the โnearestโ pinpointed country I have to take 2/3 flights which can be expensive and time consuming. This is when I think I might not be making the best move.
Do you guys have any advice that might improve my strategy?
Hey guys. Starting to offer content creation services online.
What is the hourly rate I should expect?
Iโve seen developers talk about 5-6$ per hour. Should I expect less?
Any differences between US and Europe?
Any tip would really helpโฆ
Hello, Iโve been earning online for the past 2 years and had no need to incorporate. But now Iโm applying for a citizenship and one of the requirements is that I own a business that pays myself a dividend income. I make money in USD and get paid through a personal US bank account. Iโm NOT a US citizen or resident. Been living as a tourist in many places for 2 years. Iโm looking at Belize and Panama but not sure what it might entail? In terms of money logistics, Iโm not understanding how that would work? Anyone has experience in this?
Iโm getting sick of being a CA business because too many things need to be physically mailed in. My customers are all located in the Bay Area in California, but I want to incorporate in a state with low tax liability plus the ability to manage EVERYTHING online, such as business licensing, etc. Anyone got any tips?
Just thought I would give a tip for something thats been amazingly useful for me recently.
Itโs basically a pre-paid debit card, where itโs free to exchange into Euro GBP and Dollar.
There are no costs to use it. You upload money into it and then it exchanges it at โinter-bank ratesโ - the same rates as the banks get I believe.
No commisions, No costs, No discrepancies in FX rates.
I reckon I must have saved around ยฃ150 this month in various fees for things.
Another good one is transferwise - if you have to send money direct to someones bank account - there are charges but very small (like ยฃ2 to send ยฃ400)
Hope it can help a few people out there and give the banks a good duff up at the same time
How do I start the immigration process to Paraguay? Do I just need to fly there and apply?
I am a web developer and content writer. As of right now , I reside in Atlanta, Georgia . My plan is to move abroad soon. At this point , I am not sure where to set up my home base . Anyways , my real question is about rates. How do web developers decide the most suitable charging rate ? Letโs say a client is in need of a full website and e-commerce platform. That client resides in Paris , but another client in a low income country wants the same service. Does your charging rate depend on the clientโs location ? That was a hypothetical situation. I am a new to this stuff! I do not have any clients yet .
Coming here for business for 1st-30th June. Accommodation seems very expensive even a way out of the city, around $700 USD for anything remotely decent. Two bedroom (ideal, meeting someone) is around $1200 USDโฆ almost more than you can get on Air BnB in Australia for something thatโs way out in the burbs & low quality.
Any ideas or is this normal rate? Hardly the super cheap haven Iโve read about
