Imagine that you got the work permit and you had a valid job.
Now It was your first day in Stockholm and you needed to open a banking account.
What steps Would you need to take?

Two ways.

1. Go to bank with a letter from your employer to open a temporary account until you receive personnumer. Once you get it update it with your bank and account becomes permanent with all normal services.
2. wait until you receive your number, usually 2-3weeks and then open account.

Either way you'll need to register with tax office.
