9月24日（火)New Zealand Job Challenge Diary Day 1/0

(You can read it for free until the end!)

I hope everyone is well! This is SAI. With less than a month until my trip, I've been steadily preparing. I started preparing things like opening an account about three months in advance.so I wasn't able to get serious about it, I felt frustrating a bit.

I am currently in the process of opening a local bank account. This blog was probably the easiest to understand.（but Japanese article！)

I applied for an ANZ account online on September 4th and got a reply on September 16th, so there's a gap of about two weeks. I guess it can't be helped because they're closed on weekends. I feel like "Oh~ super late~ overseas system" haha

After you apply online, I will need the following information:

★★

・A copy of your Visa from Immigration New Zealand
・Your arrival date into New Zealand (DD/MM/YYYY):
・Previous country of residence before moving to New Zealand:
・Your preferred ANZ branch:
・You can locate an ANZ branch: anz.co.nz/locations

It said to reply within 5 business days, and the email came 8 days ago (a day has passed if you exclude bank holidays), so I replied super fast, so it feels a bit rushed.

So, "You made me wait for 2 weeks and then you wanted a reply within 5 business days!!!"

I felt that way too (seriously haha), but I want them to approve it even if it takes a little time to reply. I'm also looking forward to this reply, as it will give me some insight into the country's character.

I'll probably be so busy that I won't even be able to write about what happened with the account on Note, so please check out my Instagram stories!

I was searching and wondering if I could download the Working Holiday Visa in HTML format from the official website, but if I wanted to convert it to JPEG or something, I'd have to pay a fee on Adobe! So I just mentioned this to my husband and he said, "If it's JPEG, just take a screenshot."

Wow!!!

I sent it in HTML for now, so I'll try it when I get a reply!
