Typically, it is not possible to open a bank account without providing proof of address. During the Know Your Customer (KYC) process, the bank will require you to provide identification and proof of address.
If you are a foreigner, proof of address from overseas may be necessary. Providing a physical address enables the bank to send important mail, such as debit cards and bills.
It is not necessary for the address to be your permanent or primary residence. If you are staying with a friend or family member, their address can be used; however, you may be asked to provide supporting documentation such as a utility bill or cellphone bill that has been delivered to the address you provided.
