Dear members.
Could you kindly let me know how to open an internet account in us dollar  ,with American passport in a Turkish bank so that I can transfer funds from my account
in USA..What documents do they require for openning such an account and how long
would it take.
Thank you in advance for your help.

1st the paper you need :( ikamet ) Tc number -residence and passport ,they will ask your number and email and if your student they will copy it ,2 photos  and your home adders
2st you will sign and write you name in alot of paper they give based the date
3d they will open tl account but you should say to them to open both us and euro
4d your bank card will be ready mostly after 2 ,3 weeks
And if you want credit card ask them for it and it will be ready after 4 weeks
