Thank you for the information! Quick question. If i am moving to Manchester and will be staying at a hotel until i find a place to live. What can i provide to open a UK banking account? My job offer letter?
Since you'll be staying in a hotel initially, you might face challenges providing traditional proof of address, like a utility bill or a rental agreement. However, there are a few options you can consider: 1. Letter from Your Employer: If you have secured employment in Manchester, a letter from your employer stating your temporary accommodation and confirming your employment might be acceptable. 2. Letter from the Hotel: Some banks may accept a letter from the hotel where you are staying, especially if it’s for an extended period. The letter should be on official hotel letterhead, stating the duration of your stay and your name. 3. UK SIM Card or Mobile Contract: Once you have a UK mobile number, a contract or bill from your mobile provider can sometimes serve as proof of address. 4. Tenancy Agreement: As soon as you secure a rental property, the tenancy agreement can be used as proof of address. 5. National Insurance Number (NIN) Allocation Letter: If you're employed and have applied for a National Insurance Number, the letter confirming your NIN can be used as proof of address. 6. Local Authorities or Government Correspondence: Any official correspondence from a government department or local authority sent to your hotel address might also be accepted. It's advisable to check directly with the bank you plan to open an account with, as requirements can vary slightly between banks. Some banks also offer "basic" accounts with fewer requirements, which might be easier to open while you are in temporary accommodation.
@@pathwayuk Thank you so much for the tips! I will make sure to have one of these options as I will like to open a UK banking account as soon as I arrive to Manchester. I appreciate the content I am officially a subscriber. Once again, thank you for the support! One last question, to get a UK Mobile Number, may I do this as soon as I get to Manchester without having a permanent address?
