Can you please tell me how to order an online OV-card if you don't live in the Netherlands and don't have a local bank?

Welcome to the NS Community!

If you don’t want any subscription/season ticket, no ov-chipcard (they cost € 7,50) is needed.

You can simply use any credit/debit card (from Maestro, V pay, Mastercard or Visa) for all public transport. American Express doesn’t seem to work, and contactless payments need to be enabled.

Good afternoon Ilya777. Welcome to the NS Community.

You can't do this with us, but there are some extra options here.

Best to have someone in the Netherlands order it for you. If you are from Belgium, Germany or Luxembourg, you can order a personal ov-chipcard via https://www.ov-chipkaart.nl/en/apply-for-personal-ov-chipcard

It require a local address, can I choose the address of the hotel I will be staying at?

Any residential address will do (inform the hotel that mail will arrive for you).
