Most banks open accounts in US$ and NRs. The reason I wanted to open a US$ account is that $ price fluctuates by over Rs10 per year. You can deposit dollars, and withdraw when the US$ price is high enough. Below is the conversation with one of the banks. It didn't work for me but... Dear Sir,               I have already informed you before that if an a/c is opened through mail (e-mail or via courier) there will be restriction for debit (withdraw) transaction. You have to be present yourself for first time withdrawal for activation of a/c then the a/c will be treated as normal a/c. If you want to give power of attorney to your spouse then you have to be present yourself in the bank.             You can get full information from our web site www.bok.com.np.  Further I would like to inform you that the income source of dollar a/c has to be certified from notary public of U.S.A. not notary public of Nepal.

I will prepare the required documents with Nepalese Notary Public certification as per your suggestions.   However, my personal presence for withdrawl does not seem practical because I visit Nepal only every one or two year. Is it possible to add my dad or mom (in Nepal) as a joint account holder so that she can make withdrawls whenever needed? Or, please suggest me what I can do to draw amount from my USD account when my family needs money in Nepal.   Can you please send me the details / brochure about opening foreign currency accounts. I tried but could not find anything in the website.   The link to a/c opening form in your website is broken. I got a link from other sources. Please confirm that it is the correct form (http://www.bok.com.np/pdfs/Acc....   I think you also need a proof of my income in US dollars. Is an official letter form my employer (Google.com) stating the amount I receive as my salary enough?   What other documents do you need?   Please provide me the required information so that we can finish this task as soon as possible.   Thank you, _ Phone +1-800-562-9588 (you may call us at 7-9am Nepal time)   ----- Original Message ----- From: Somana Mahat To: _ Cc: Girija Malla Sent: Thursday, August 13, 2009 11:54 PM Subject: RE: USD account     Dear Sir, Good Morning! To open an account from abroad please download the a/c opening form from our web site, fill it up properly & send it through courier. After receiving the form we will provide you the a/c number & it will be activated once you send money on it .Only deposit allowed in this a/c but for withdrawal your self presence must. Please be informed that we need an official certificate from Notary Public clearly mentioned your details & even in the a/c opening form certification from Notary Public is required.

I had been transferring funds with swift code, just wanted if there was any other cheaper/easier way with you. That should be fine anyway.   Please inform me what further steps should I take to open the account as soon as possible. Because I will not be in Nepal until December, please inform me how we can open an account while I am outside Nepal. If needed, we can have one of my family members in Kathmandu to be a joint-account-holder but I would prefer my personal account. You may attach the required documents in email, and I will get somebody from my family to hand them back to the bank after I fill up and sign everything. Or, please suggest me further what we can do in this regard.   Thank you, _ Phone +1-800-562-9588 (you may call us at 7-9am Nepal time) ----- Original Message ----- From: Somana Mahat To: ...

Now in US with US$ income, I want to open an account with BOK (in US$). Can you send us some necessary details about it? I would also like to know what will be the easiest way to remit/wire few thousand dollars every month to our account in BOK.   Thank you, _ Phone +1-800-562-9588 (you may call us at 7-9am Nepal time)
