I hope I am not off-topic, but I have question the other way around. Can we as resident of CH, open a bank acount abroad, specifically for example in HSBC in UAE (Dubai)? Their website says it is for UAE residents, but I have heard it might be possible for at least Saving account (Interest rate is 5-6% there, a lot better than here).
From the Swiss perspective, you can have any number of accounts anywhere in the world. But you must declare the assets and interest to the Swiss tax authorities. Swiss residents are liable to pay taxes on global income nad global income.
