Can I open an Indian bank account from the USA?
Yes, you can open an Irish bank account from the US as a non-resident, but the process is not fully automated online and requires significant documentation. You must contact the bank directly—such as Allied Irish Banks (AIB)—to start the process. You will be required to submit a certified copy of your photographic ID, such as a passport or driver's license, and two original pieces of evidence of your home address (e.g., utility bills or bank correspondence from the last six months). "Certified" means the documents must be branded and signed as true copies by an acceptable certifier, such as a public notary, lawyer, or embassy staff member. Because of anti-money laundering regulations, the bank may request further information at any time, and you must ensure that your name and details match exactly across all submitted documents.
