A bit intricate, but you should be able to open a bank account in Estonia. They offer digital citizenship, so-called e-residency (https://www.e-resident.gov.ee/) and for 350€ you can open a company there. I reckon it should also be possible to open a bank account there over the internet once you got your citizenship e-card?

From a google search: „ Yes, Estonia has a system that enables you to open a bank account without residency and as an e-resident, and you can start the process online. Generally speaking, it is often possible to open an account with only your passport - depending on the country of your origin and the bank you chose.“ (Source: https://www.b2bpay.co/how-open-bank-account-estonia)

Ok, so it seems i was too optimistic: „ Upon registering a company in Estonia, you can apply for opening a bank account in Estonia, if you have partners in Estonia/employees living in Estonia/carry out activities in Estonia. If the intended activity of the company is not related to Estonia, you will not be able to open a bank account in Estonia. If you want to open an account with an Estonian bank, the company has to start its activities, in full or in part, on the territory of Estonia“ (source: https://www.estonia-company.ee/management-of-bank-accounts-v...)

You mean Estonia ? I had heard of that but never completed the process; I'll definitely give it a look. Thank you
