Hi there Kenjee,Thanks for the response. Not sure what formalities you mean however? Sorry!
Hello jonathan, Well by formalities, I meant the documentations needed and whatever else that might be needed and where to go to get a bank account Have a great day!
You need your passport or residency card, but bring both if you have them just in case.You also need your contract stating the amount of your salary or a letter from your employer to the same effect.
Thank you! Appreciated.
