Does Hong Kong banks require personal visit for opening offshore accounts? As someone from Asia, I don't think visiting HK is too safe. After some research, I could see tons of offshore agents located in that land. But how safe is Hong Kong for a business visit?

This situation with requirement of personal visit bothers me a lot. I will join the question above, aren't there any baks at Hong Kong at all that allow to open account without personal visit, just using Skype?
So far if you do a search using Google on this forum there are a lot of threads describing the situation in HK and banking procedures. There is second to none of them that will open an account.

Yeah Hong Kong is only valid if you travel there an open bank account and register company in person. I had no luck to find a valid agent that is able to setup a HK company with HK bank account for me.
How is the situation in HK? I'm going there this week to set up a company. Looking for a reasonably priced and trustable lawyer who can guide me with the process.
Setup the company very easy and no need to go there, even no need an lawyer to do it.
The most important according your business will be to get an bank account.
BTW the local situation there is no stable as you should know (Some MTR/subway line doesn't work today)
Is no real. No need 1M in cash to get an bank account there. Also as i know before bring 1M in cash there you should well know the banker if you dont want to get in trouble
Forget about urgent with HK bank this time. Or you need well know relation ship to faster the process
Just landed in HK. It's crazy out there. Stood 7 hours in a traffic 😳. Which bank would you suggest for quick opening of personal bank account?
make sure whoever you choose to open company with guarantee bank account referral , or else you will suffer, since if ever you find a bank referral company they would want to be your corp sec and handle entire process..
Most of bank for personal account opening asking s**t questions as: Do you work/live in HK... After it will depend how much you plan to deposit there
Try Bank of China, is the only one that opens bank accounts without HKID

Thank you all for advice. It went smooth with Bank of China. KYC was too much long thou, they asked one month bank statement from my US account. Is it common or since I'm first time client this is why they added this requirement?
