Well, thing with banks is not really will they open you account through email or must be in person, but will they guarantee you that you have insurance if they go down. Which most of offshore banks don't, but if you use that account for business which will have couple thousands $ max on account, maybe you can take a risk, at least by my opinion. But for bigger money and real business, I would choose some bank with good backup.

Btw. if you are in Europe, you can open offshore accounts in Latvia, but need to go personally there in 1-3 months from account opening.
