Anni,
it's possible they have changed their policies, someone else with his friend this week tried to open account, were told they had to apply online but were given a customer no. and a code to open it. Anyway they did the online app upto the mobile no. which they input a UK no. and it kept stating error. Now Roland if I remember right said he opened his with a UK no but that was in branch like you and I did with an agent. So I,ve asked how he input no and waiting for his response. I already had Spanish sim and they used that no for both of us so I get msgs for Mr also. So, it seems they have changed their policy in that it has to be done online(but if you have been given a customer no it can be done online. Maybe I, ve sent them too many customers for free accounts. 😂. Lots of residents too angry their banks now charging fees or imposing conditions. I opened account with 2000+€ after closing Sabadell wasn't told there was any condition like Bill. I, ll keep an eye on how this plays out as I may have to change my guide.
Thanks to Steve for your comments but I hope it still is OK for non residents to open if now bit more arkward.
Regards
Pauline
