Do you have a residence visa? That has the personal number on it. That with a letter from your employer stating that CPR is in process should be enough to open provisional account.

That's your luck. All of them should help but depends on the client. I opened in HSBC this way but then again, I was opening a premier account ie min balance of 30k BD for Premier status.
