Guest Stu Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 It's the same as the UK, it all depends on your proveable earnings. If you have a letter from your employer staying your salary it should be fairly straight forward. We had a meeting with our bank to finalise our account creations about 3 days after we arrived, filled in an application form then, and had the cards within the week. Credit for other things can be a bit iffy, however if you commit to the loan being repaid 4 or 5 months prior to your visa expiring you can get it. FYI you can pre-arrange bank accounts with most banks before you arrive, and pay money into them if you want, you just need to pitch up once you here and get the money laundering checks out of the way and you get access to your funds.
