Talk to a bank.  You usually need a SS # to do so, which is not possible to get unless you are a US citizen.

Nope - you will be asked for a host of things in compliance with anti-money laundering regulations, like a social security number etc. And although there are certain instances where a power of attorney will let you open an account through an intermediary, I dont think you will be able to get away with that.

Some US banks have international departments that will do it for you. The easiest way is to stop at a Bureau de Change in the Barcelona airport. You give them American dollars, they give you Euros or whatever currency you want.

I think Credit Suisse can help you out, I know a couple of guys who have opened accounts there without having to go to switzerland. It depends on why you want the account, but there are other options apart from Switzerland, i.e. Cayman Islands, Lichtenstein, St. Lucia, etc etc...\nIf it's for tax then most offshore accounts can do what you need with regards to keeping the IRS at bay, I know a chap who is high up in credit agricole in switzerland, but their limit is about 250,000chf (a lot more than $20k). I'm not sure but I also heard that in switzerland they're soon going to change the law so your government can find out how much tax you should be paying and it won't be as private as it used to be. Good luck!

Open  a saving account and get an adult to sign on with you.  It can be set up so that you need two signatures to get your money.  Also don't get a debit card or checks for that account.  That way you have to go to the bank to get it.  Maybe on the trip to the bank, you will have a chance to rethink your purchase.  Another way is to set a rule not to make any purchase over say $20.00 until you have "slept on it" if you still really want it the next day, wait one more day.  Then decide if you really want it.  Hope this helps.  Have fun in Mexico.

You must have an official ID and proof of address to open a bank account. If you don't have them, no bank account for you. \n\nSorry, that's the way it is.

One exception that allows you to start a business while you are not a U.S. citizen nor a permanent resident, is by investing $1 million into a new business and hire at least 10 people.  Once you do that, you'll be on your way to permanent residency in the US.

in most states, you can open an account regardless of citizenship.  banks are responsible to recognize and stop laundering.  although it sucks that people can come to this county, make money off the books without paying taxes, then send it back to the country they came from, it's not illegal. money laundering is a much more complicated process where money that is attained through illegal activities such as drug dealing and gun running, is wired from acct to acct, in hopes to disguise the money as something else, usually some sort of "foundation" or something.

you need a KID number... which is the equivalent of a US social security number.  without it, you have to follow special instructions for foreigners, which is listed on the cyworld page.  if you're wanting a cyworld account, i'm assuming you speak korean...

I asked my stock broker, Fidelity, about this.  You have to have a tax id code before you can open an account.  This is obtained from the U S government.  Fidelity also said that they would only open an account for a foreigner, if that person was in the U S.  I do not know if that applies to all brokerages or not.
