    I think it is in HK, not here

I open the account at Hang Seng Bank. I heard HSBC is a bit harder. What I did was, first go to HK and subscribe a phone plan and have the invoice sent to my relative's address. Then after you received your first phone bill, bring that to the bank as proof of residency. Other bank such as HSBC is harder, because you either need electricity bill or pay stub as proof of residency.

No you cannot open a new account over the phone, you must be in person. Once it you have opened it, everything can be done online.

    Thanks for sharing...but that means we have to stay in HK for over a month to wait for the first invoice to come to the place first. Then go to the bank to open an account...

Try to open a bank account at Hang Seng Bank. When I went back to HK a year ago, they let me open a bank account with my HK ID along with my canadian driver license coz they said at least there are some sort of "proof of residency" on the driver license already. At that time I was only back in HK for a week. Once you open a bank account and get bank statement then everything else is much easier for you to apply in HK since you have proof of residency in HK already. Hope that helps.

If HSBC requires electricity bill or pay stub, then a student cannot open bank account!

HSBC doesn't require clients to have HK address to open oversea account. But you will have to bring your HKID plus passport (Canadian is fine) with $200 processing fee. (while Free for HSBC Premier clients, $100 for HSBC Advance clients) It takes around 1 month or so to have the a/c setup and they will mail a package to you (with bankcard if you choose to have one) Details you could go to http://www.hsbc.ca/1/2/en/person ... onal-banking-centre

or email them at [email protected] for more details.
