Questions regarding Philippines DNV & Tax Residency (Germany/Upwork dilemma)

Relationship Advice/Questions

"Hi everyone,

I’m currently in the final planning stages of applying for the Philippines Digital Nomad Visa. I’m looking to connect with anyone who currently holds this visa.

I have a specific question regarding taxes and residency: My goal is to completely deregister from Germany (Abmeldung) to cease tax residency there. However, I’m a bit stuck on how to handle the requirements for banking and platforms like Upwork. Usually, they require a proof of residence and a Tax ID to keep the accounts open or to verify the profile.

For those of you who have deregistered from your home country: How did you solve this? Did you establish a new tax residency elsewhere immediately, or is there a way to manage this with the DNV?

Any insights would be greatly appreciated!"
