To my knowledge you do not have to be a permanent resident. I've been told however that you do need a letter of reference from your own bank to establish an off shore account.

My experience is that Bonaire banks don't answer e-mail messages from non account holders. Best to get someone on island to get you the details in person and send you what you need to bring with you when you open the account in person. Peter

When e mail doesn't work, I say pick up the phone

You can open an account on the spot if you bring a letter from your bank stating what a good customer you are and how long you have been with them etc etc..... Might need to be certified genuine by a Notary if you hand carry it rather than have it posted/faxed or it could be considered fake and they are hot on Money Laundering and audit trails....
