1 of the 3 accounts on this page explicitly accept non-residents (Revolut Ireland). "Accepts applications" does not mean guaranteed approval — banks still assess your ID, proof of address and source of funds. Without local residence or a tax number, prefer accounts marked as remotely openable.
Not necessarily. 1 of the 3 accounts can be opened fully online (Revolut Ireland), with no branch visit; the remaining 2 still require a branch visit or an appointment. Online opening depends on whether your documents pass automated checks.
Minimums vary widely — see the "Minimum deposit" column. 3 account(s) have no minimum deposit, so you need not fund on day one. Also watch the minimum balance and monthly fee; dormant accounts can incur charges.
It depends on the account: online accounts are usually approved within minutes to a few working days, while branch or manually reviewed accounts typically take 1 to 3 weeks. The "How to apply" column shows the channel for each account, and timings are on the individual pages.
