    Hello everyone I just caught up on the thread. I replied to everyone who had something for me specifically. I'm doing fine although the country is in a pretty rough stage. The protestors nearly took over parliament last night before things de-escalated. There's a curfew in place in Colombo...

    Hey, @Marzook nice to meet you too. Just catching up on all the messages here. Yes, it's a true shitshow here but I'm personally fine so far. Digital nomad visas are something I'm looking up. Super sorry to hear about your friends/family in Jaffna. They've suffered way too long and too much.

    It's not terrible. You can get US and UK clients to pay as if it was a local bank transfer for them. Other countries you can invoice in USD, GBP, and Euro but they need to pay via credit card.

    Stripe, Atlas, Firstbase, and such services. Can anyone share their experiences?

    IDEA EXECUTION 
    Thank you so much Val. I've had some clients from overseas and haven't had a lot of trouble getting payments through yet. It's just the companies that insist on paying via PayPal etc. I agree that it's more important to focus on business development at this stage, but it's something that was...

    IDEA EXECUTION 
    Is there anyone living outside the US here who started an LLC with these services? Can you share your experiences? I am just a self-employed freelancer at the moment but I plan to have subcontractors and form a partnership with a dev and a designer for a virtual agency. I cannot access...

    I've only started using it recently. But they've been in business since 2005 and it's one of the only options I have. Paypal and Stripe don't work here.

    I'm looking into moving to UAE (United Arab Emirates) as they have a freelancer visa program. I am looking into other Asian countries as well (Thailand, Malaysia). I have a Sri Lankan passport, so Asia is easier to access than Europe, USA, etc. Thank you for commenting.

    T Thank you so much for sharing your story. Yes true, we need to keep our eyes open. I've always wanted to live in another country so perhaps this is the chance :D

    Thank you. This was my plan for the most part as well (other than moving to the countryside). Internet and utilities are terrible outside cities here. I am planning to hold some USD in my Payoneer wallet (it's similar to TransferWise), though it's always a risk to keep money in a wallet that you...

    Thank you so much for your advice. I live in Colombo, the capital. I don't have any relatives in the countryside, but I will look into moving to a rural area. I already have a couple of international clients paying me in USD for my freelance work. My plan is to ditch all local clients by the...

    Ok, this is probably a strange post to add to the forum, but I need some words of advice from more experienced entrepreneurs here. My country, Sri Lanka, is about to go bankrupt in a few months. Our foreign reserves are drying out and there are fuel and food shortages predicted. The government...
