Hi,
I have been he two months. I wanted to open a local account of citbank, as they are my oversea bank, which would mean free money transfers form overseas to here and being able to get USD.
I already asked with them, but they said I need a Kitas, NWNP and maintain USD 5k in the account. They also explained I could widow the USD free of fees, up to 10K /month.
However in my overseas Citibank, any USD transaction carries a percentage fee as the host country is not USA...
My questions are:
1. I don't have a Kitas, (I am trying to work out what visa I can get presently) so I am presently on a 30 day visa which I renew as needed, or do a quick nearby country hop.
2. What is NWNP, my friend seems to think it is a national tax file number, I am not working here, so don't have income to declare, and definitely do t have a local tax file no.
Appreciate anyone whom uses Citibank could offer advice please,
Thank you in advance
Regards
