Rules and regulations have changed.
You need to go to the bank in person and show I.D.
prove where you live etc. etc.
All to do with money laundering?

You can open a bank account here, as a NON resident.
You will have to go in person, with N.I.E, and passport.

hi  Smiley,i dont think you can open a spanish bank account unless you are here in spain to open it in person,if you are buying through an estate agent then thay will tell you what to do other than that things keep changing here in spain even the local spanish dont know how to do things anymore  Roll Eyes sorry

Not too difficult
Choose a bank
Take your passport with you and open a non-resident account
Apply for NIE. Can be done for you by solicitor, Abogados. You do not need to be present
You will need NIE for purchase

Hi Robo,

You could call the ABNAMRO in Holland. They have offices in both Holland and Catalunya so maybe it's possible to open a Spanish account in Holland. But even if they can, I think Ryanair and opening an account locally will be faster and cheaper.

Good luck,
Mark

Dear skibob,
A dark cloud of depression and a heavy heart settled on the shack on the hill after reading that you should ever think that you, were as quoted I'm Billy No'mates. So you can imagine the cheer that bounced off the walls of the shack when I saw on the forum you had discovered a kindred spirit who was using the same Fred Flinstone picture as yourself and I hope it becomes a long lasting friendship with David where even censorship cannot come between you!!!!!!!!!!
Yours a very emotional Bulldog.

My Dear Bulldog, thank you for those kind words.
We solitary souls have to search over mountain and dale to find a kindred spirit. But l draw the line at a double act. My dearly beloved, Wilma,  nearly fell off her chair when she found sensible comments allegedly made by me!! Shocked 
The very nerve of David to think he can come on here and try and impersonate me, is beyond  the pail! l will take this to the highest mountain in the land to get justice. I will not be his Goliath!! Angry
As for the reverberating sounds emanating from your abode, we thought it was a primal scream of the lost and misunderstood members of the forum!
Yours the one and only F Flintstone Esq Cool
