It
is much easier to open a personal bank account
abroad compared to company accounts but you should
always consider all the consequences carefully
(especially if you are EU resident). When you open
a personal bank account, your account name will
automatically be your personal name and it will
appear in all banking transactions. Many countries
forbids its citizens to open bank accounts abroad
or one has to notify local authorities that he/she
has a personal bank account abroad at least. For
many reasons, it is usually recommended to open
company rather than personal bank accounts abroad.
Instead of presenting
a list of available banks/countries we decided
to gather basic information about you prior to
offering you a suitable bank(s). Our recommendation
will be based on the information received from
you.
Kindly let us know the
following details:
- your nationality
- your current tax
residency
- preferred type of
account (current, deposit or investment account)
- preferred currency
(US$, EUR, GBP, CHF or other)
- preferred account
management (phone, fax or internet banking)
- acceptable maximum
opening deposit
Bank accounts can be
opened by mail or in person. Every bank will require
your passport copy (in most cases affixed with
an Apostille), recent utility bill and bank reference
from your current bank. Also, it is quite common
that banks ask about the source of your funds nowadays.
