We cover the collapse of Hong Kong and Singapore as go-to nomad jurisdictions, why a Wyoming LLC is the correct default structure for non-US founders doing business in Thailand (and why most Americans set it up in a way that destroys their own privacy), the HoldCo structure that saves a $300K earner roughly $25,000 a year in self-employment tax, the bonafide residency test that most Americans living abroad have never heard of, and why California has a specific tax trap that follows you across borders even if you haven't set foot in the state in five years. If you are building a business while living or traveling in Southeast Asia, this is the conversation I wish existed when I first arrived in Bangkok in 2012.\nThis video was NOT sponsored.\nAbout the Guest:\nBobby Casey is the founder of Business Anywhere, an online platform serving location-independent entrepreneurs who need company registration, registered agent services, virtual mailboxes, banking solutions, bookkeeping, and tax consulting all in one place.
