Hello,
My friend who lives and works abroad wants to open an account in an Irish bank. It would be a deposit account where she would keep some of her savings. It always is a good idea never to put all your eggs in one basket, so in case something happens in her own country (war, economy crash, banks go bankrupt) - she would still have some money secured abroad.
Does anybody know if that's possible?
I talked to a few people in the same branch of one of the banks and I got completely different answers, ranging from "we don't do it", to "all you need is prove of address and copy of passport sent out to us". So if you know somebody has done that before - I'd really appreciate if you could let me know.
But if you knew how to do it (what's required) - it would be totally fantastic.
Thanks,
Andrew.
