Consider Singapore. You can set up company and banking accounts entirely remotely, and 0% tax on annual dividends.
I thought SG corporate tax was 8.5% up to 300k then 17% ? And there is fee for a nominee director ?
Can someone give enlighten me ?
It is like you said. It is about 4.000usd at least plus taxes at the end of the year
You are trying to optimise this with just average of 50k a year?
Doesn't Thailand have CFC rules? If it does what you're suggesting is illegal regardless of where you set it up.
It doesn't look like Thailand has CFC rules, but my understanding of their recent personal tax changes are that OP would have to pay local tax on all money he remits to Thailand (ie, his annual spending as a tax resident there).

No corporate tax works if OP is living frugally, and therefore retaining earnings or cash in their corporate structure.
I agree with the broader point that someone earning €35,000 should focus more on making that consistently €100,000+, before worrying about tax optimisation. I'd rather pay 40% on €100,000 than 0% on €35,000.
Rather USA LLC or UK LTD are good for what you are looking for.
UK LTD has better banking options.
The UK LTD has 19-25% corporate tax though no? Thanks

An offshore company can cost $1k-$2k a year in admin fees and a offshore bank account will usually require a balance of $25k-$100k and have monthly fees if $50-$100. Which is why it’s usualy only worth it once you are in the six figure profit stage
Estonian e-citizenship will give you a company based there. Profits are only taxed if distributed, if they stay in the company they are 0%.

Banking is a little trickier - it's very hard to get a bank account in Estonia - but you can use something like Wise with them easily instead.
