A non-Dominican friend of mine just tried to open a bank account at Scotia Bank in Sosua, and they told him he can't open a bank account just with his passport.
They are saying he needs a letter from his previous bank (in Europe) and a letter from a lawyer in the DR to open a bank account????
Have things changed that much in the past 3 years since I lived there?
I previously had a bank account with Progresso, Ban Reservas and Popular, and all I needed was my passport and my money to open an account and no problem!
Can anyone verify that this is correct? We got the email address of the bank manager, because that seems a bit strange to me, that someone would have to go to all that trouble to give them money...
