Ehm...what is this "FBAR" thing anyway?

FBAR is a form that tells the U.S. treasury about your bank accounts in other countries. If you had more than $10,000 abroad, you need to file.

Which foreign accounts do I need to report?

Bank accounts and investments but also retirement accounts and life insurance policies. You also need to report accounts that you can manage even if you do not own them (e.g. if you have signatory rights for company accounts)

How serious is missing the FBAR reporting really?

The majority of people not reporting will never be prosecuted. However, those that do get caught face significant penalties. If you are in the US on a visa, consider that violations of FBAR can affect your status in the US.
