This analysis of how to open international bank account online was very helpful to me in this regard. Of course, it is worth mentioning that the online option does exist, but the main obstacle here is not the application button, but the KYC verification. So if you don't have recent utility bills or tax receipts on hand, the likelihood of rejection increases. By the way, the comments there mention which banks actually work with non-residents and explain that sometimes it is easier to start the process online, but the final verification still has to be done via video call. The community gave me an understanding that this is possible, you just have to be prepared for the bureaucracy.
