    is it possible to open an account in bank in China with HK visa

    from the point of view of China, HK is its part. is it therefore possible to get Chinese tourist visa, go to let say Shenzhen and open account in Chinese bank there?

    Thank you

    HK and Mainland China have different currencies and are two seperate economies and banking systems.

    You should ask the banks in Mainland China for this question. Banks official documents and forms are in Chinese only, and english level is not the same as staff of HK banks.

    Mainland banks generally wont send a statement to Hong Kong address. How will you show immigration department your last 3 months statements in this case?

    i need account in China not for visa purposes.

    anyway, can I open one without service charge and without minimum balance required with HK ID in mainland?
