You need to visit Barclays together with a good and prepared tax or legal advisor that may know the monekeys in there. Have you this in your bagage you will get your account, if you don't, forget it, they will decline your application.
Besides their inefficiency at all levels and being totally unfit for EU Business & individuals (i can't state for other jurisdictions) i caught them the hand in the honey pot; spoiling my account while this one was frozen. See in the documents attached. BTW my deep investigation show very little doubts on who hand over my account to the justice department...Anyway, the list of griefs is long, you can contact me in PM - Stay away from this bank !
Thank you for sharing your experience with this bank
Seems all swiss banks are︀ not good specially in this era

Unless you are a CH resident and can walk INTO the bank and RAISE H3LL!
The Swiss aren't stupid... they KNOW what time it is. 😉
PS. On a public forum, I can't and shouldn't explain how to OPEN their eyes, but there is ONE thing the Swiss value MORE than money! 😎

yes indeed, non resident banking comes to an end. Id say being non resident but being citizen is still ok to some extent since you can easily walk in and talk as well and can equally raise h3ll (but its one step down from also resident).
All other combos︀ towards a bank are quite bad but today there way better alternatives around for transactions︁ (stablecoins) and wealth storage (bitcoin) and banking is only needed if one can get into︂ their private banking insiderish investment circle, but then again for me this has to significantly︃ outperform bitcoin to offset the mental wellbeing involved with being schmoozed up by them.

I had a CIM account, was create pre-covid, completely forgot about and never used lol.
I'd seeded it with i think 5,000CHF.
I logged in one day last year and see it was 'negative' but 'positive' - couldn't work out which, because they have some weird set up with CHF/EUR balances.
Anyway i contacted them, and asked what was going on with it, they said i owed 2,000CHF or something in fees.
Thought ok, time to close this, so asked them if i could settle the amount and close the account.
I sent over more funds than necessary, and they said ah you can't send︀ from 'wise' i said, ah ok, well send back and i'll send from HK, it︁ will be a few days.
They said it's fine this time (ok, compliance?) - so︂ they dropped their compliance requirement because they were actually owed the funds.
Then the account︃ was closed, for two months almost no information, no refund of the account balance (1,000EUR︄ or something) - still confused, then all of a sudden after contacting the funds arrived︅ the next day.
Honestly, CIM (Swiss) i understand the compliance requirements, but their UX is︆ horrendous, their account balance system is horrendous, there's no communication outreach (i.e mine was overdrawn︇ from fees for 1+yr), and their fees...
Would give them a wide berth.
Ref this︈ person - they are going really back in time.

I love their arrogance and rakishness; One day i did formulate a complain about a fee︇ (around 650€) for a IBAN Domestic transfer, GVA to GVA.
The Relationship manager went on,︈ and end up his list with " and we did it in "EXPRESS" especially for︉ you sir".
I said: but i never asked to be express, nevertheless, the order was︊ send to you 8 days ago ?
Relationship manager : Certainly, but we did︋ i that day in Express
They are very well trained, if only i did listen︌ my friends at the time. They are the jokers in town...
