this is good straightforward information but be aware opening a bank account on this Non O (3 month..Initial) Visa is not easy unless you want to use an Agent.
Same issue. Waiting for the sale of my house to go through and want to depart shortly after that so don't want to wait 3 month re bank statement etc. Might just have to arrive on visa except and sort out once there. Nuisance
