Hi,

It is very easy to open a bank account in Kuwait for expats.

The only document you require is a Civil Id Number. (Know on how to apply for the Civil id Number at Kuwait Visa)

I can suggest National Bank of Kuwait to open you account, has a lot of facilities for expats as well (Have a look on how to open a bank account at National Bank of Kuwait).

I have known that Boubyan Bank is more expat-friendly, Few restrictions, good presence in the territory, more flexibility. I shall try to pass there my account.
For work reason I have dealed a lot with NBK and they are complicated and bourocratic...I do not know the internet banking of both, maybe someone else can share it...
