vivachocobo Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 (edited) How soon can a foreigner with a settlement visa open a bank account? Is it possible to open as soon as arriving in the UK? And if I already got a job offer, what do I need to open an account? Thank you in advance. Srisuda Edited October 19, 2007 by vivachocobo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't many companies in the Uk who dont pay salaries by Bank transfer so it would be a requirement for you to have an account to be paid. You should be able to check this out by contacting any British Bank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the scouser Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 You will need your passport and evidence of your address. As soon as you arrive, get your name put on one of the utility bills and use this as such evidence. Scouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
