Hello Alec. I’m in Japan, but with similar offshore goals to you, to diversify geographically for security. I am in touch with people at Blom Bank, Beirut, and hear about the sudden poor economy, banking disruptions there. You may wish to explore Labuan and banks there (particularly setting up a minimal corporate structure). All legitimate. Here is one link, but hunt for more: https://www.simplyoffshore.com/labuan-company-formation/ It is a few km from Brunei, with cheap regular quick flights from Kuala Lumpur or Singapore. BRED Bank of France is active in Cambodia.
https://www.bredcambodia.com/ ProCredit Bank of Germany is active in Albania https://www.procreditbank.com.al/ These are all ‘development’ banks investing in regular SME business functions, and so appear more reliable, conservative, well-managed. And please post here any insights you have, news on Lebanon. Take care.
