I intend to go to live in Indonesia, how could I have an online bank account in Indonesia without going through KYC and avoiding control if I am European, specifically from Spain
any suggestion or way to open it online?One option would be to open the account before you move, then just use it.
Can I open a bank account from abroad?
Yes, you can open a bank account from abroad, as long as you work with a lawyer who you have granted power of attorney. At the moment you can not open an account online as a foreigner.
Can I open a bank account as a non-resident of Indonesia?
Yes, it is possible but many banks still do require some type of stay permit (i.e. Temporary Residence Permit Card) before they allow you to open a bank account. If you can find a bank which has adopted the new reform allowing non-residents to easily open accounts, you’ll find three different account options to choose from. The options are the Limited Balance Tourist Account (USD $2,000 - USD $50,000), Unlimited Balance Expat Account (From $50,000 and up) and the Special Balance Expat Account (Balance must exceed 1 million USD). To open these accounts you would just need some combination of a passport and one additional document (e.g reference document from a bank in your country of origin, domicile letter of the expat, identity papers of the spouse, copies of residence contracts, or a credit/debit card.) Also, these are (non-rupiah) bank accounts and must be denominated in USD.
