Getting a Swedish bank account..

2007-05-14 Me · Sweden

So today I went to the Swedbank bank in Stockholm to see about getting a bank account, but this dream was rather short lived. It seems that there is a new law saying that I have to have a Swedish ID card to get the bank account.

To get the Swedish Identity card, I need to get a Swedish Personal number and to get this have to have registered with the Tax office. Well I did that 2 weeks ago and I am still waiting.

Looks like this process is going to take longer than I thought.
