How to live and trade offshore (Singapore, etc)?

Why you don^t buy an elite visa? It cost just 10k for 5 years. It should be affordable for a successful trader...

 

Actually is 500k Baht. Too late anyway now.

 

Suggestions are most welcome.[/QUOTE]

To be successful in trading you need an edge. My suggestion is take advantage of your current situation which allows you to trade the domestic Indian market. Foreigners are not allowed to trade the local market there. The equity option market is extremely liquid and enough manual processes to create opportunities to take advantage of volatility. This has the highest liquidity in Asia so you're sitting on a gold mine. Become successful in your local market and then use that as a foundation to move to Singapore and then on to your ultimate goal of the United States.

Unfortunately, I am not an Indian.

 

500K Thai bath is a little more than 10k USD. I think it's worth it for 5 years.

 

If you re-enter the country just before the 5 year ends, you get another year. In total 6 years.

 

In case you consider Thailand, you could apply for Multiple entry tourist visa in your home country. With that you could stay almost 9 months.

 

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to trade free...

 

You could also get a 20 Year visa for Thailand for only 1M THB.

 

in Singapore you can create a company and hire yourself and pay a minimum salary approx. 3k~5K SGD per month and you get visa.
