bunq works well for me so far, it has some nice features such as creating tens of vccs, multiple euro ibans, ideal payments. the drawback is terrible customer service, you can wait weeks for a reply

Rent a cheap place somewhere in the EU, get utility bills, register this place with a bank account you have. Set up mail forwarding. Cancel the rental.

Now you can open a bank / EMI account in the EU for the foreseeable future, without living in the EU.
Which place in the EU would you consider ?

This works in most EU countries, but Id pick one where the tax authorities arent so aggressive, and you dont risk becoming a tax resident easily. So Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ireland and maybe Slovenia, Czechia, Slovakia, Croatia, Cyprus, Malta.

And while not an EU country, the UK works great for this as one gets access to many good EMIs with a UK address and the UK has very clear rules for tax residency and generally uses utility bills to prove one's address and not like a personal number linked to a central register. International european EMIs typically require utility bills even in countries where personal numbers/codes are used though, so it is not a huge hurdle.
A while back I actually rented a cheap room in Northern Ireland for a while just to have a UK address - worked flawlessly.
