1. A nominee Director does not need to live in the Seychelles, right?

Correct.

piratechain said:

I can appoint someone that i can trust?

Yes.

2. I have a tax residency in Cyprus and get dividens from my Seychelles company. (Thats the sole purpose)

What is the updated criteria that i should meet to have a set-up that is longlasting and follows the rules that i should meet regarding Seychelles law and Cyprus law for getting the dividends?

Long-lasting is hard to say. Cyprus currently doesn't do much to enforce tax residence of foreign companies owned/controlled by residents. So you can probably get dividends from your Seychelles company without anyone bothering you. If Cyprus' attitude changes (which seems very unlikely), it could be argued your Seychelles company should be paying Cypriot corporate income tax and that your director is just a sham director. Those kind of rulings are quite common elsewhere but AFAIK practically never happens in Cyprus.

-Nominee Director (Which Salary should the person get on a monthly basis and should it happen from the Seychelles bak account?)

I wouldn't worry too much about this. If it gets to the point where the remuneration of the director is put into question, your adversary is probably also asking you to prove that the director is a bonafide director (taking decisions, controlling bank account, signing agreements, and day to day steering the company).

Nominee directors usually cost one or a few thousand USD/EUR per year. If you want to pay more, that's up to you.

-Do i need a real office adress or is a virtual office sufficient?

Same as above. If a tax authority is questioning you about substance, there are probably bigger things to worry about. That said, a real office carries more weight than a virtual office.

For now i want to review my Seychelles Set-up do everything according to the current templates.

Speak with a Cypriot lawyer for more precise guidance. Someone like @CyprusLaw or @CyprusLawyer101 for example.

Your actual operation is a major factor to determine the level and type of substance which you pursue.

What type of service does the Seychelles company provide and who is actually providing that service ?

I found out today by looking again through the documents that i received through forming the company that my ICSP is A.C. Management Limited.

The German guy who was forming the company and who is not replying to me since January was my only contact until now.

Does anyone has good experience with A.C. Management Limited, as i would now try to communicate with them directly.

You may encounter problems contacting the agent directly as they may only accept instructions from your service provider.

piratechain said:

Ok i see thank you.

And if i would have problems i better change the agent?

Will that be easily possible?

First you should establish a corrext basis for communication. Only then can you do transfer outs to a new agent etc.

FYI Appleby replied to my request:
"We only service our institutional clients in Seychelles and our fees are USD10,000 per annum. We don't provide bank account services." :D

That's a lot more than I remembered. Appleby is great if you need complex solutions and services (multinational company). They used to be quite a bit cheaper than that, though.

Plenty of good options left, fortunately.
