Joint Account with a non-resident ecc.

Good Evening,

I hope this is the correct section for my problem.
I'm an italian student currently enrolled in a main college of Ireland. I have already opened a third level student account with the Bank of Ireland, but I need a plus.

I want to know if there is the possibility to open another account with the name of my father, who is living in Italy. Or eventually a joint account with the second nominee of my father. (I can give proof of my residence here, but not his one)

Is that possible? Maybe through an Online Irish bank where they don't ask that him has to be a resident here, I don't know.

I'm waiting for news from someone who's very expert of Irish banking,

Thank you very much,

Regards

Lucair
