Yes
No IBAN in Armenia, just account number and swift
Evoca was one of the banks most intolerant to non residents. They were one of the banks that stopped accepting non resident applications for bank accounts during corona times. Other ones were okay, you probably just got unluckyminotari said:
the thing is, my evocabank bans its internet banking from outside of armenia. First it didn't, then it began, then it stopped, and now again. A VPN helped initially, a half a year ago (my own vpn, not a public one), but it no longer does. They told me "only from within Armenia, not from any other country. It's so for now. How long - no idea".
Does anyone have a workaround for this?

what other ones?
How did you approach Ameria? Were you trying to arrange residence permit there?minotari said:
what other ones?
ameria -- no;
hsbs -- won't open and too much kyc anyway;
ACBA-Credit Agricole -- no, won't open, but it looks very modern and good;
ardshin -- their internet banking is an archaic Disaster, unusable; once you leave Armenia you can't access internet banking because they *require* an armenian phone number to be able to login *each* time to be able to receive OTP and there's no way around that;
id bank -- won't open

For what "that"?
You are not resident and neither you are planning to build residency. Its different from my case so I cant advise you on this. I would suggest Inecobank, they so far are the most comfortable to deal with, plus they have separate physical offices for legal entities (no standing in lines needed)minotari said:
For what "that"?
You haven't not understood my point -- I don't ask "where can I open a bank account in Armenia?" It's that guy who mentioned "try other banks", to which I said "what other banks?"

You would need a local computer somewhere in Armenia. Connect to that one and then off you go accessing your account.minotari said:

But if a bank goes to such extremes to shut down does it make sense to keep it?

It doesn't matter whether or not you've heard about it.dirtyharry said:
no it does not, never heard of a bank blocking customers accounts because they access them from a different country😕
