 Posted: Mon Apr 12, 2004 9:27 pm Post subject: Opening A Bank Account Without A Work Permit |
 |
|
Would like anyone in a country that allows people to open bank accounts with only a tourist visa to give me a shout.
If I remember correctly back in 2000 it was possible to do such a thing in S.Korea, but every other nation I've passed through has restrictions on foreigners getting bank accounts without work papers.
If you post from a country that has such relaxed banking rules, please also gave information as to the minimum amount required to open an account and also if it's possible to get an ATM card that can be used globally (PLUS,CIRRUS and so on on the back)-Since in SK the ATM cards were useless outside the hermit kingdom.
Regards
Buddhabelly |

| I've heard that you can do it in the UK, the RBS and the BAnk of Scotland do, but you have to be there in person to open the account. |

I am looking at this same problem as we speak. You do have the usual spots: Switzerland and the Cayman Islands but an EFL salary would hardly be enough to open an account there.
I remember reading that anybody should be able to open a bank account in HK but I am not sure. Maybe one of the HK folks or good ol' Roger can confirm... |

| @Buddhabelly, Why? Have you committed some horrendous crime that stops you from obtaining a work permit in every country in the world? |

Sensible people keep their money in gold coins in a box buried in their back garden.
We live in troubled times. If you doubt that just look around.
Armageddon here we come ! |
