You can work in to any bank and tell them you want to open a domi acct there. You would be required to fill out some form and also you would need to have two ref.

After this you would make a deposit in your acct after it has been opened and whenever you need to to make a transfer you do it with you domi acct. Before a money wire can be made, it has to be form your domi acct or you would have to have a domi acct. Banks have different minimum open balance. You can try GTB Smiley

Conditions for domiciliary account are:
You must have:
1. A current account with the bank;
2. operated the account for 6 months
3.at least $50 or more as minimum deposit(it depends on the bank, GTB is $50-$150) please confirm from GTB
That is all. It is very simple.

Other banks have different rules, but I opened my domi account for £50 at GTB.
And make sure you tick all the major currency. ie £, $ etc when you open your account.
All the best.

A domicilliary account is very easy to open these days.

At GTB you can open one if you have a current account with them with just $100.

a domiciliiary account is simply a foreign currency denominated account. this means accounts in currencies other than our dear old naira.

GTB seems to still have the best and easiest to run dom account. and all you need are:

2 references
fill the form (ensure to tick all the major currencies on the form, (it negates you having to fill a form everytime you want to open other currencies, and you don't have to fund it all at once)
one passport picture
your id card
utility bill (phcn, nitel water etc)

i think thats all (at least thats what i can remember) and you no longer need to have a current account running with them, you can simply open the dom account only.

when you wire money in, in addition to the cots of wiring you will pay to the bank abroad, you will also pay a 1% fee to withdraw it in nigeria. and beware, your transactions are always logged with cbn and efcc, so ensure you do no fraudulent transactions!

and no, i do not work with gtb.

@poster,
am wondering what u mean by unsatisfactory response.have been using oceanic bank for sometime now and theres been no problem.u can wire money in or out without even a dom acct,thats if u have a naira current account with them.but for ease of transactions its better to have a dom account.opening one is just like opening a naira current account.
and yes every transaction goes to efcc and  cbn.so watch it.

Opening a dom account is the best thing that can ever happen to you. If you own This account, just contact me and i will show you only one way it will benefit you.
I am a forex trader, I make money from, Online Forex Trading. The money I make on a weekly bases is what my friends are earning in the banks at the end of every month.

What I have achieved today in less than a year, no oil company worker or banker can measure up with me. Not that I am boasting, but To God be the glory. Click here to check me out. www.nigeriadollars(dot)blogspot(dot)com . Earnestly speaking, as I am now, nobody, I meam not even Shell, nor any nigerian bank for that matter can employ me. Of course they can't even pay me, that's the truth.  I wish someone will be encouraged.

You must not have a current account to be able to operate a dom account.
Just walk into any bank,obtain a dom account opening package,fill it with two passport photos,you international passport/drivers licence,two references from people that run current accounts either in that bank or in any other bank.If it's a dollar account you make an initial deposit of $100,also if it's a pound account you make an initial deposit of #100.
Try Fidelity bank,they are good in it,especially with BTA and PTA.

I intend opening a dorm account with GTB very soon, but what I want to know now is this:

If I open the account in all 3 currencies (Dollar, Pound & Euro), do I need to deposit seperate amounts for each currencies, or is it just a one-time fee of $100? Huh
