Opening an offshore bank account without being a resident ?

[nevadaJACK]

Are there any countries / banks that will let you open a bank account without being a resident of that country? I know this sounds like a rather shady question, but it's not for any tax evasion purposes -- i pay them every year in full FWIW -- ...I simply need to establish a bank account outside of North America.

You are right about the bahamas. You don't have to be a resident there nor own a business though. Good interest as well.

Yes.

hold on guy!
i got me a bangkok bank savings account thinking everything would be ez from there. boy was i wrong, getting the bank account was the ez part.

if problems arise, like security check ,you better be able to show utility bill.

crypto wont do ach with foreign bank accounts, they told me.

i have a wire going to crypto i hope they accept.
