Do not‍ go so off-topic, or some force will be used 😉

Can the account be set‍ up completely online?

 

[SCHLOSSFINANZ]

my experience is from 2020, back then it was possible with my lawyer help

Kazakhstan is a country wirh strict currency⁤ control. Once you send your money there, it is in Kazakhstan forever without a special⁣ permit. Card official currency is Tenge. If you have USD and want to pay in⁢ USD with card, you loose up to 5 percent in exchange USD-Tenge-USD

Have you actually opened the link⁤ or even owned the card? It is a multi-currency card in KZT, EUR, USD. Why⁣ would it go to KZT and then back?

Also, what is the problem with capital⁢ controls if you use a debit card?

To bad: Transaction‌ Fees Foreign Transaction 2.7% of each transaction after conversion to US dollars.
I need only‍ EUR Card!

 

[nobel]

To bad: 5 visits with‍ PRIORITY PASS card.
Other Amex have access to the lounge without limit, I need only⁠ this.

Note from the homepage: Non-residents of the Republic of Kazakhstan, customers with⁤ a residence permit, and persons under the age of 18 years, are required to visit⁣ a Bank outlet to open the card.

 

[daniels27]

I am frequent visitor.

 

[SCHLOSSFINANZ]

nearly all AMEX cards‍ don't allow unlimited Priority Pass visits since last year, they changed the rules!

Get yourself⁠ Revolut Ultra (600 EUR py), Dragonpass included with unlimited visits

 

[SCHLOSSFINANZ]

maybe get yourself the Trading 212 Mastercard. It has 0,5% cashback and no fees and‌ 3,7% interest on your deposits.
From the cashback you can buy many lounge vouchers lol‍

No. Every other AMEX Platinium has unlimited lounge access.
Unfortunately I⁠ can't use Revolut Ultra, it's for EEA citizens, which I'm not.

 

[SCHLOSSFINANZ]

this is totally untrue. In Germany 50 per year are only allowed, Switzerland and Austria‌ will change it shortly according to AMEX SVP I spoke to recently.

Get yourself a‍ Bulgarian address (cheap) and apply for Revolut Ultra via that route

 

[daniels27]

Citizens or residents?‍

 

[nobel]

Not available in my country, probably only EEA countries.⁠ I should register on the waiting list. Lol. It's hopeless for me. damn_(

 

[nobel]

residents

 

[SCHLOSSFINANZ]

It's about residents certainly not citizens. Maybe‌ Nobel can enlight us about his citizenship and residency

Come on guys. Let's go to Kazakhstan and throw a Bunga Bunga with @JohnnyDoe while I apply @nobel some cards.
