I would like to hear your experience as a tourist with passport  to try and open a bank account.  Even as a resident it was difficult with the amount of paper work they wanted and questions like how do you make your money and they wanted proof.  I moved from one part of the island to another part of the island of Madagascar 12 years ago and I still can not close out an account  there for many different reasons one being they do not know how to do that, to if they do that they will get in trouble and they cannot ask their boss, the excuses go on and on for 11 years now. I had to open a new account with all those headaches and still the old account is not closed and they charge that account a debt even when there is no longer money in that account now for two years.  Even when I contact the home bank in Tana in e mail about 10 times now they will not answer my e mail. 
If you manage to open a bank account with your passport, Please document your experience and process so others can do the same.  I wish you luck Alex
