However, I am less certain whether I&#39;m eligible to get a credit card upon arrival without securing a job yet.<br /><br />Can anyone share what are the various pitfalls that I should look out for when opening a bank account and also, whether it is possible/ways to obtain a credit card there?<br /><br />If I&#39;m posting at the wrong forum, kindly point me to the right one.<br /><br /><br />Thanks a bunch in advance. <!--emo&:respect:--><img src='http://static.lowyat.net/style_emoticons/default/notworthy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='notworthy.gif' /><!--endemo--> roosie Finance, Business and Investment House Wed, 10 Oct 2018 17:01:50 +0800
