None of the 5 accounts on this page is open to non-residents without conditions, but 5 accept foreigners who meet extra requirements (DNB, Nordea Norway, Sbanken) — typically a valid visa or residence permit, and usually an in-branch visit. See each account page for details.
Not necessarily. 3 of the 5 accounts can be opened fully online (Sbanken, Bulder Bank, Bank Norwegian), 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. 5 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.
