You can go to Bk of america and try. take your passport with you, then you can open a savings + checking a/c both with a debit card with visa logo, (that's what i have a few years ago) that acts like a visa check card that you can use it as debit card (with password input) and credit card (directly debit from your a/c without a password input), but remind that they have a maintanence fee if your balances below certain amount.\n\nYou dont need an US passport, you just use your own passport issued from your country.

I would try the majot international banks such as Standard Chartered or HSBC. They are most likely to do something like what you want as they probably operate in your country of origin/citizenship and therefore they can verify your details much better.

I'd say Lloyds TSB. They have been having a big push lately to recruit immigrant workers, and have made their lending criteria much more flexible to accommodate this. They have a free phone number 0800 015 0157. Hope this helps

Not sure who is going to offer credit to those who live outside the country, but when I was checking for ones that didn't charge extra foreign transaction fees, I only found a few, including HSBC (which you mentioned), State Farm Visa, Target Visa, and Capital One.  I've also heard USAA and Washington Mutual don't tack on extras.  You might contact those and see if they have a policy for foreign residents.  Best of luck to you.

To get a debit card, you have to have a checking account.  The debit card is given to you though your bank you have the account with.  \n\nTo open a checking account, all you need is some cash to start the account.  Most checking accounts have a minimum deposit to start or charge you monthly fees.  \n\nJust to be clear, you do understand what a debit card is, right?  It directly withdraws money from your checking account.  It's like a checkbook in that sense.  So, if you don't have any money, a debit card isn't going to do you any good.

It should say what bank "services" the account on the front of the card. It won't just say VISA. It will have the banks logo. Contact that bank and ask them what is up. When did you use it last? Is it still open? Requesting a check might take 60 days to mail back to you.

Why not stick with a well known entity like ETrade Bank, or Paypal?  (paypal has a sweet deal...high interest rates on a no fee account and they kick back a percent and a half everytime you use your debit/mastercard as a charge card).
