I agree with Boris.
I is no use getting angry on the system.
I tried to open a bank account Corrente, but was tild that I had to have a
Permanent visa. Well ok, then I asked if I could open a Poupanza.
It was no problem.
When I was finished, the bank asked to see my Visa.
I have a 2 years working Visa.
He told me that there was no problem to open any account with a working visa.
This was Citi Bank.
I have been in all the banks and they all have differant rules.
