Help with turkish bank account opening

[dor]

Got any tips on how to open a bank account.

EU citizen. Non resident. Tourist.
Perhaps somebody could sell me a bank account without any hassle

Unless things have changed drastically very recently, you can still show up at most banks (at least in major cities) in person and they will help you through the process, as long as you seem like a reasonable applicant. I think you still need to get a Turkish tax ID which is a fairly easy process.

Ziraat, Isbank, Akbank, Garanti, Seker, Aktif, and Denizbank are (or at least were) the more popular choices.

You don't need proof of address as i said on your another post but still you need address to receive card.

You might be able to open an account at Ziraat or Kuveyt but it depends on bank to bank (I was declined on a ziraat but got approved on another ziraat without Ikamet.)
You must have reasons why you need an account in Turkey such as You wanna use Yemeksepeti but they don't accept foreign card.

It's like you can order foods at home from restaurants.
Like zomato in UAE.

Your info is a bit outdated. Went to alanya teb akbank and ziraat all banks ask for proof of address notarized

How to buy a proof of address from notary?
I dont want to rent an apartment pay double deposit and realtors fee for this.


What reasons are loved and accepted by them?

Does it need to be a local address in Turkey?

Can you get in touch with a notary back home, email them a bank statement or utility bill you get online, and courier over a certified proof of address?

By law no need for local address... But they are dumb and don't care and barely speak any english.

How long does it take for them to issue the card and send to the address in Antalya alanya

You should try Kuveyt bank it is the easiest bank to register as non resident.

I said reasons like Turkish online shops like Yemeksepti, Hepsiburada, Trendyol, even telecom don't accept foreign card
So i need bank account with card.

If you talk about more than 10K-50K, You might find another reasons.

For card delivery
No more than a week usually.
