UPDATE : Guys thank you so much for your precious help ! Opened the bank account today and it (literally !) took 3 minutes to receive the funds from abroad (via WISE). Don’t know what kind of extension was given but got a 15 days stamp that needs to be restamped for a 45 day stay. Don’t think it is the covid extension as the consent form was missing and the immigration told us to request it from the embassy which was unsuccessful. Just realized afterwards you can find it on [members only] but the immigration office was not aware of that AT ALL 😂 thank you all again !
