Personal accounts: Taiwan

An honest assessment before work starts, the quote is fixed in writing.

We assess your chances against your profile, prepare the compliance file, help you present your source of funds properly and handle communication with the bank until it decides. The final decision always rests with the bank, so no one can guarantee an opening - careful preparation simply improves the odds.

We quote the exact cost for this country after a short consultation: it depends on the bank and your residency. The quote is fixed in writing before work starts.

FAQ

Can a non-resident open a bank account in Taiwan?
Yes, but you need an identification number - an ARC if you live there, or a separate number for non-residents issued through the immigration or tax authorities. Not every branch handles foreign clients, and you have to appear in person.
Do I need an ARC to open a Taiwanese bank account?
With an ARC the process is much smoother and almost all products, including cards and online banking, are available. Without one some banks still open a restricted non-resident account, but your choice of branches and services narrows.
Can I open an account in Taiwan on a tourist visa?
Sometimes, through the non-resident procedure, but it is the individual branch that decides. The bank will ask what the account is for, and an answer along the lines of just in case rarely works.
Does Taiwan exchange bank account information?
Taiwan is outside the OECD CRS network but runs its own automatic exchange regime with a set of partners under bilateral agreements. Do not treat an account there as opaque - banks still collect and record your tax residence.
