    Since 9/11 - You are required to have a perm US address, along with any
    other paperwork the bank may require. Unless you know someone in the
    US that is willing to do this for you, and if they did, they would be crazy,
    then you already know the answer. Which you really knew before you posted this.

    In etrade bank you cannot open because they suspended new openings for some countries(India,Kuwait....) temporarily. Anyway you can open in ever bank, but the minimum deposit you must pay for that is $1500. No need to maintain that balance. But for account opening you need $1500. After account opening succesfully you can withdraw that amount

    I hired their services. They offere complete Bank Account Opening kit for $17. The whole process was vry easy. I received my welcome kit and was able to access my account online, order checks and apply for my Platinum Visa debit card -- just 3 days after I mailed my application!"

    It is possible to open a bank account in the U.S. from overseas. Mercantil Commercebank lets you do that (www.commercebankfl.com)

    You'll only need:

    1. Application to open a Personal International Bank Account, duly completed with all information requested for each account holder.

    2. Original Signature Card, duly signed where indicated by each account holder.

    3. Original W-8BEN Form, duly signed where indicated.

    4. Customer Questionnaire completed by each new account holder.

    5. Photocopy of Passport (legible and currently effective) for each
    account holder.

    6. Reference letter(s) - per account holder are required.
    * Two (2) reference letters - per account holder from other banks

    7. An initial deposit of at least US$3000 is required to open the account. Please refer to the Personal Banking International Fees for further information. This amount may be remitted to the Bank via any of the following:
    * A check duly endorsed to the account holder, which must be remitted with the documents required to open the account
    * Funds transferred from another financial institution upon receiving the account
    opening notification

    Once you have all the above-mentioned documents ready to open the account, send them to the following address:

    Mercantil Commercebank, N.A.
    General Services (PBI)
    12496 NW 25th Street
    Doral, Florida 33182 - USA

    All the forms you need to fill out are downloadable from the bank's website. Your deposits at Mercantil Commercebank are insured, by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

    We've informed about it ourselves and if your bank also has a branch or branches in USA, chances are higher they can arrange it for you.
    I heard from my bank that holding a bank account in USA is quite expensive also, so keep that in mind :)

    you can use payoneer,it's very convenient to use,and they can also provide US payment service which will help you set up a US bank account,it can be used to get fund.
    if you want real US bank account which you can login online,should go to bank in US

    The pseudonym way is to find a person with a US address or set up a US maildrop, apply for a popular reloadable US debit card (using pseudonym ID info that gets past the online application). The card, which includes a US bank account no, is sent to the US address, then is activated and forwarded to you.

    Shouldn't be a problem if a good US VPN is used for accessing both the Paypal and the online bank/card account.

    VPN is not an option. As long as you are going to work seriously. At any time a bank can ask you for additional documents or something and you're fired.
