Most major US banks allow non-residents to open accounts remotely, typically requiring you to provide personal identification documents, proof of address, and sometimes an initial deposit transferred from your existing bank account. However, the process is easier if you have an existing relationship with the bank or if you plan to visit a US branch in person to complete the account opening process. Some banks may require a physical presence or have specific requirements for non-resident accounts. Overall, while possible, opening a US bank account from abroad often involves additional documentation and verification steps compared to opening one locally within the US.
