It certainly used to be. I mut have had about 10 bank acounts in this country and still use one no problems. Do I need a work permit now? If not, where to go. There are foriegn banks that exists here (like citybank) Can I open a USD account with them). Ideally a savings account which can't be touched for 5 years. What's my best option?

I have never had a work permit, I recently opened a new account. I probably have about 7 in current use in 4 different banks, and have had a few more. 
 

TLDR you can certainly open an account with no work permit.

 

I’m not going to go into the other requirements as they will vary depending on the amount you’re going to deposit who accompanies you, if anyone, and where you are trying. You may get refused but just keep trying, personally I have never been refused but there are numerous accounts of people who have, some gave up others kept trying and were eventually successful. 
 

I have never had a foreign currency account, all my accounts in all the countries I’ve had accounts in were in the local currency.
