Opening an offshore bank account requires preparation. Begin by selecting a jurisdiction aligned with your goals—whether for asset protection, currency diversification, or investment access.
Prepare documentation: notarized passport copies, proof of address, source of funds, and business structure (if applicable). Some banks require in-person visits, while others offer remote onboarding.
Expect enhanced due diligence and waiting periods of 2–6 weeks. Working through a regulated intermediary can speed up the process and improve success rates.
