Hi Tony, online opening only for residents with green residencias. In branch we took, passports, white paper Nie,s, our deeds(but I dont think he looked at them), our last Sabadell statement, all our direct debit info with their reference no,s, and a load of google translated questions ready to ask or answer any questions, and some cash to put in it. We opened a joint account and btw you must have a spanish sim. They wont accept UK numbers especially now that all banks want to send you security codes on certain transactions.
I have a hits mobile payg sim in a dual sim mobile along with my Tesco sim which we use all the time and I get 2 lots of codes or info txts, so guess bank cashier put same number down for both of us.Make sure you ask for the weferrent account because the cashier opened us a 360 account for savings, but we changed that. After opening we discovered we didnt have access to transfers(which appears to be an extra) but we returned and it was added later, so do that too at same time. It appears to be a signed for extra "contract". No fee but not automatically as standard. Our spanish is moy poco but we managed with a lot of a phone changing hands in google translate and I,m glad I wrote out the questions before we went into google translate, that was a terrific help. We returned 2 wks later for our debit cards.
I cant think of anything else, pretty much it. Hope it helps you to do it, we are satisfied with them
Regards
Pauline.
