but you have to open the bank account before you get the visa. Immigration will tell you that you need a bank account to get a long-term visa and when you go to the bank they will say you can only have a bank account if you have a long-term visa. Lol!
that would never work because the nature of any economy is that it expands and along with it the banks have to keep printing more money. And those banknotes in your pocket that you keep circulating would start to get extremely grubby 😀
