It's quite simple.Once you start working, the executives of the banks will approach you. They will ask you the residence permit in this country. That means, your visa should be stamped on your passport. Then you will get your Emirates ID. Either the visa page on your passport or your emirates id is the mandatory document. You can open your account before stamping your visa, but the bank will give you a time line to submit the documents which you need to fulfill. Or else the account will be frozen. (It happened to one of my colleagues)
