Guys,

Is it possible to open dollar a/c in Kathmandu without being present in Kathmandu?

Does anyone have an experience? Appreciate your response.

You must have a bank account in Dollar denominations and ordinary citizens aren't allowed to have dollar accounts due to govt. regulations. Hope it helps.

i am not sure if one has to be physically present; but everest bank allows nepalese citizens to open $ account. i've heard some other newer banks do too. check their websites and contact them via email.

I have a dollar account with Sanima Bank. It was easy for me, but may be because I was physically present when I opened Nepali Rupees account (I have two accounts there).

So far, we need to be physically present to open an account but unexpected thing can be happen  every where, if the bank manager accepts it, I have done it for  regular saving account but not sure about Dollar account.

You also need USA employer letter that you work in USA and have $ income. I have one in Himalayan Bank. You should be present to sign.

You have account but wanted to convert into Dollars Checking account: If I were you, I would have send one of my family or friend to check with the bank. With you prove they may say fine.
