Can I open a bank account in Japan if I don't live there?
Opening a Kenyan bank account while you are still abroad can be challenging because most banks require proof of residency and a physical address in Kenya to comply with local "Know Your Customer" (KYC) regulations. Consequently, many people find they must wait until they arrive in the country to provide the necessary documentation in person. However, some banks may allow you to start an application process or submit an initial inquiry online from overseas. If you have already secured a work or residence permit, your case may be stronger, and some institutions might be willing to work with you on a specialized application. It is highly recommended that you contact your preferred Kenyan bank directly to discuss your specific situation and see if they can accommodate an application from your current location.
