Hello everyone, this is my first post here I hope this discussion will help some people finding answers.

I’m from France I’m 26 and I grind MTT online for 2 years now. I decided to move to a cheaper country so I can allow grow my bankroll even faster with less expenses for the living.

After few months of searching information online, there are few questions remaining, if any of you got an idea it will help a lot.

As a poker player living in a foreign country I should avoid the french taxes on poker (which are terrible) -> but I guess the administration will still see the withdrawal from the poker platforms to my french bank account.
- Do poker players abroad always create foreign bank account and withdraw their earnings on it?
- do they use E-Wallet such as Revolut/Skrills/N26 etc and in this case does the E-Bank send records to the government ?

I heard Thailand has become one of the best destination for online poker grinders (I know gambling is illegal in thailand but online poker is in a grey zone and no law forbid it)

If anyone can share their experience of leaving in thailand to play online poker :) ✌🏽

Thanks in advance

Hi Thebigdog,
Welcome to PokerStrategy.com :welcome:

I've no idea about your plan, however before I would do something like that, I would find out if France's taxation system would tax your worldwide income.

Secondly, I would find out if there are any other people from France in Thailand to play poker, and see if you can meet up with them.

Try a post in the International Meeting Place

Cheers,
VS

Hello Thebigdog!

I have same kind of plans and have also searched information. Best option I have found could be GGpoker skin Natural8 that can be also connected to Pokestrategy to get PS points. I had chat with Natural8 support with Line and they proposed to apply for membership through a country-specific registration link but they didn't answer if I can do it with Pokerstrategy link https://www.pokerstrategy.com/natural8/welcome/

About France taxation system I know nothing.

Beacuse this is not actual for me yet I didn't take any actions, will return to this in September. If you want more details please send to me a friend request so we can chat with private messages.
