No, HSBC asked me why I wanted to open the account, but they didn't need to see any documentation to prove it. I might have showed them my UK passport, but it didn't have a visa or work permit or anything.

There's normally a £100 fee for international account opening, but it's free for Premier or £50 for Advance customers.
