Thanks to all for the replies, I am responding to all of you in order.
@Aslam bhai Yes, most of my income is from Google. Can you please tell me name of that bank or branch? Maybe that works for me too.
@Mughal sir Well, there is the issue self employed. These banks are bluntly telling me that we are not accepting freelancers. Proof of income or proof of business needed.
@User All of my income is from the biggest tech company in the world, Google. And talk about taxes, this is infact my tax refund check. CMY sir would know more about the form w8 ben. I kept working as a freelancer for years and kept paying taxes to the IRS. Now this is my tax refund from IRS, I am sure CMY sir knows about this stuff.
@CMY Sir: I wish I could gift, but the check is under my full registered name. Is it still possible to gift.
And yes, legal income, proofs available, this check has been mailed to me by IRS itself, after a lot of hard work you know. It took me 1 year just to obtain my ITIN. I am sure you are getting the idea what it is, and how it has been done so far. I even have all the records and documents sent to me by IRS.
@0030... Thanks brother, seems like I am not alone and there must be some way.
@Aslam bro: Seems a great idea if it works. Probably the best. Thanks for the suggestion.
Lastly, CMY sir if I do get it deposited here in Pakistan, ye FBR waalon ko koi khaas takleef to nai ho gi. As you know even telling these people what online earning is, can be a mighty might task.
Also CMY sir, while sitting here, can I have an account opened in US. Even any small bank would do. I have asked banks in UK and US, they tell me that if you hold an account here, you can mail the check to someone in US or UK. I can post to you if thats the case, and then that person has to deposit the check to that bank in person. So, is there any way I can open an account in my name sitting here.
Thanks all.

Bilkul kuch illegal nahin hai - it enabled income sourced from abroad is actually tax exempt in pakistan. Just get a joint account with a relative who has an income source to open a bank account and deposit it there. Opening account in usa very difficult. If this still doesnt work ask the payer to work out a different way to pay you, perhaps through one of the services like payoneer and western union. |
