Correct Sequence Of Arrangements When Arriving

7 years ago
Suppose that I do a couple of house-hunting trips to Hungary and find a house to buy to live in permanently.
Presumably I need to set up a bank account? What document does the bank need, just proof of owning the house and maybe passport? How about getting the gas / electricity / water billing changed? Do I need to show proof of owning the house plus passport? What is the correct sequence in which to organise these basics?

Presumably in the first few months there will be numerous situations in which documentary proof of identity / address are needed?

But some of this is chicken / egg. Presumably it will take a few weeks in order to receive a utility bill, which can be used as partial proof of identity?
