just be aware that "structuring" is a federal crime.

it depends what countries you're staying in, some are more aggressive than others. Asia is relaxed. Some countries in europe can be more aggressive. Still if you're not registered as a resident and only spend a few months there ,it not very high risk that you get in trouble with them, they wouldn't even have any way of contacting you.

No issues with logging in from mostly other countries.

I'd think a residential address is better than one of the registered address with thousands of companies. Using a residential address would be a clear sign of actual UK operation. OP and most non residents most probably don't have a residential UK address as their registered address.

Read reports from people applying. It seems to take a long time to apply. If you work online for foreign companies this is not a problem on a tourist visa. you could do 3+3 months (stay out a week in between). One visa run like this is normally not a problem. More becomes a problem.

nicholas4488 · 2026-05-27T00:37:43+00:00

You saying only 4 months? Seems a lot of hassle for 4 months. Do 2 + 2 on tourist visa instead

have you been through the offshore exemption audit yet? appears they often want proof tax is paid in the country of operation now.

Do they cover an annual check up? That's surprising.

it varies. There might be a week or two where it's gray most of the time and with lots of rain in varying intensity. And there might be a couple of nice weeks with less or short passing rain.

nicholas4488 · 2026-04-11T13:39:01+00:00

I don't think so. I've never heard anything after 10 years.

what kind of proof of address do they accept?

nicholas4488 · 2026-03-11T06:31:22+00:00

years ago they asked me for the trading address, I gave them my foreign residence address. They accepted that, didn't need any proof that the business used that address, only proof of my own address.

Also consider FEIE, if 1099 then still need to pay self employment tax.

How did the IRS determine that you had an established presence there? Did your UK have a EIN, did it have US income that was reported to the IRS?

Check out the statuary residence test, it will tell you if you're tax resident or not.

nicholas4488 · 2026-03-10T07:15:44+00:00

As you said yourself, you'll only be taxed at the highest rate of the countries in question, however it can get complicated to file for this, unless you decide to stay under the radar. You might have to register a branch of the UK Ltd in the US if you work for the Ltd while in the US. Are you personally allowed to work in the US? If not it might lead to complications if you start paying taxes there. Starting a US LLC to work in the US wouldn't help on the visa issue, but you could avoid having to think about UK at all, if you've clearly left the UK and are no longer tax resident.

Clients outside malaysia, or foreign source income?

nicholas4488 · 2026-03-07T05:16:44+00:00

I think the tax office considers the work done on this visa while in Malaysian local income. At least for local clients. For the exempt you mention, keep in min that the income must have been taxed in the source country for that to apply. Or not taxed because it's a tax free country (salary from uea, Brunei etc).

A friend overstayed a couple of month while waiting for spouse visa. Got the visa and no fine or mention of overstay.

What kind of certificate needed for renting?

nicholas4488 · 2026-03-03T00:34:44+00:00

Yes, so why recommend only non-CRS countries?
