HI Everyone,
I have done a lot of moves in my time but never to SEA. I wonder if you could advise on what financial means I should bring with me to Manila?
Not knowing how long it could take for funds to be transferred from Netherlands to Manila, is it worth bringing travellers checks to open an account with? or is it enough to deposit say $1000 (or should I use PHP?) in cash? assuming I can still access my Dutch bank account via ATM for cash I can easily let the depposit sit while the account opening is processed....Does ti take long to open an account?
My employer is processing my work visa so I will arriveon a tourist visa...can I still open a bank account?
I have read many threads here and TBH I am no nearer understanding how it works over there...
Many thanks
