Dear Sir or Madam.
My friend from Shanghai wants to emigrate to Albania and is therefore looking for a bank account (IBAN/Euro) to do business with companies from Germany, Netherlands and France.
My friend's company is currently registered in Shanghai.
Is it possible to open an EI account online at your institute?
Thanks for your response in advance.
Kind regards
Fritz Fahrner
