The unglamorous part of a nomad money stack: getting an account open and keeping it open. These guides cover what a compliance team will accept as proof of address when you have no fixed one, how self-employed income is evidenced for a visa, a landlord or a bank, what changes when you apply as a non-resident, what an exchange wants finished before it will take a first deposit, and the calm order of steps when a balance is frozen.
