me neither. It's not true that foreigners can't get bank account. They need a visa like Non O etc. which they can get before arriving.

@Chris ******
there's no rule stopping people with a non O visa from opening a bank account.

@Nongnuch *******
he's just called me dumb, an idiot and to F off for giving him correct info same as Brandon. Bizarre.

@Brandon ***********
well he's hurled abuse at me, telling me I'm dumb and to F off, because I posted same info as you. I'm not sure he can be helped. 🤷

@Neil *******
so rude. You've been given advice from people like Brandon, who are knowledgeable but hurl abuse at me because I've given same advice as Brandon Thurkettle and others. There's nothing "dumb" about me or my information.

@Graham *****
he just keeps repeating his agent says foreigners cannot open account. But looking at the screenshot his agent said "without visa". So the advice is get a visa before arriving.

@Neil *******
your agent says WITHOUT VISA cannot. The advice is quite clear and been repeated by several people. Get a visa before arriving and open bank account.

@Neil *******
you aren't listening. Your agent says "without visa" cannot. The advice you've been given is quite clear! They get visa in Aus, arrive, open account, then can apply for extension of stay based on retirement. 🤦

hopefully they will listen to the advice on how it can be done.
