Open a bank account in Europe as non resident

[Larin]

In Portugal it's quite easy to open a bank account as a non-resident. Grab a‌ local tax ID number walk into a bank and you should have a card in‍ a few weeks.

Poland also opens account for non-residents, although I'm not sure if they⁠ will for LATAM residents.

I will‌ check it out ty!

I know Dukascopy works and already have⁤ an account but It’s limited I don’t think I can move 10k a month to⁣ there

rof/% I've had those accounts for +30 years. Since the time of the⁠ Pesetas. I'm "technically" from Northern Europe and this has worked wonders for me, regardless of⁤ culture. People are people. I personalize it for each person. The OP is from LATAM,⁣ so the Spaniards would understand his amicability. But again, YMMV.

TBMK, it‌ is not. It's a non-AEOI/CRS country so some institution might take it as suspicious but‍ I think it will be rare; PY it's not so popular.
Exactly, it⁤ is so quite often. Especially European EMIs and neobanks tend to have not a “prohibited⁣ countries list” (as any brick-and-mortar bank has, too) but a “permitted countries list”, very often⁢ containing EEA or EU or even Eurozone countries only... (the last one was the case︀ of N26 for a long time, no clue how it is currently; Bunq had similar︁ restriction).

YMMV; but AFAIK︂ it is not so easy. It can vary also from one bank to another one︃ but some ties to Poland are usually demanded.
I guess that LatAm itself is not︅ so a big problem. (US passport is remarkably worse, BTW.) But see above.
True, the Dukascopy limitation︈ can be the barrier if you do not have the limit sufficiently high; raising the︉ limit is not easy-breezy. But I guess that if you do not accumulate the cash︊ there, 10k should not be a problem (more precisely – 10k used to be an︋ entry limit; but I admit that this info concerned Europeans).

does it‌ work for non EU citizens ?
