3 BEST Bank Accounts for Foreigners in Czech Republic

[@jenniferskandera]

Raiffeisenbank didn’t let me open an account because I only have temporary residency. I went to two branches and was turned away.

If they give credit card for international student

[@jankalina-CzechVisaExpert]

I think they only offer credit cards to people who have a stable highe enough income.

Thanks Jan. If somebody is shifting to Prague for job and has to bring money from home country. Is there a bank which can open an account before reaching Prague so that the money can be transferred there. That way one can avoid traveling with cash.

[@jankalina-CzechVisaExpert]

I am not aware of a bank which would open a bank account for you without your physical presence. You can always teansfer later? Or open Wise or something similar :)

@@jankalina-CzechVisaExpert oh no....I tried with WISE for last 5 days. That is horrible experience. Million times of takin ga photo of a passport, then they are not able to compare it with my face, all the time they force me to use mobile phone - I DONT WANT TO USE A MOBILE PHONE for banking. I WANT TO USE A LAPTOP for banking. The WISE ask nonsense questions and make it impossible for me, for sure....I gave up with their bullshit account. Little screen like in mobile phone is maybe good for children and for games...no serious job could be done on so little screen. I am very pissed off....really

@@jankalina-CzechVisaExpert Visa???? What kind of visa??? We are in EU and we dont need any visa...so I have no idea what are you talking about... Also I was reading a few days ago that CITIZEN of EU can open a bank account in any country inside EU...but a Bank Clerks block it from people...that is crazy. My situation is different - I am changing my country of living, presently working in Germany from time to time and have a problem with an opening a bank account in general. That is unbelievable.... Even something like Virtual Banks, like WISE make so many difficuties that I totally gave up - that is a huge bullshit. They live on OUR MONEY and they are doing us a fuc...ing favor to open account....

As you told already our consultancy agents nothing know much about the actual process. Just now i received all my original documents work permit for 90 days ,employment contract for same 90 days accomodation letter for 10 months ,I want a small clarification please help. If i get D visa stamping in my passport. Is it like i am eligible to get TRC mam? My agent doesn't know nothing about czech rules as he is one of the person in the link, consultancy is a long network as you know as well, he is assuring only thing is my passport will have D visa stamping as a final stage. His ego is not allowing himself to agree that he doesn't know nothing about it. share your opinion sir.

[@jankalina-CzechVisaExpert]

Short-term visas are always just a sticker in the passport. Long-term visas as well. Only if you applied for a long-term residence permit (i.e. an employee card), you would be getting a reaidence card.
