EMI/online Turkish bank account

[sriracha]

I would like to open an online bank account in Turkey. What I need is just the account, I don't really care about cards. Ideally I could do it online, without physically going there. What do you recommend? I am an EU resident.

As your in Germany go into a KT bank branch there and see if they can open one for you in Turkey.

Geographic diversification.

It has historically been easy to go to Turkey, get a local TIN, and then go open a bank account. Whole process takes a couple of days.

Remote bank account opening is very rare unless you're well connected.

There are no EMIs in Turkey.

Has anyone here opened an account there in person? Do you need a local phone number, address, etc.?

And the TIN? In a couple of days?

If you don't want to go to Turkey and open a bank account remotely you'll need to pay at least 3,000usd, very expensive!

TIN takes 15 minutes at the tax office. You only need a passport and copy of it. For the banks, just walk in. You can normally do it in two days.
