Local accounts are not required, but some branches will be more strict in checking the accounts of non-local people who work and live, and may need to provide supporting documents. It is suggested to contact the handling bank in advance to confirm whether other supporting documents are required. In addition, the same person can only open one first-class account (except credit card) in the same bank.
