Where do I receive my bank cards if I’m moving too fast? (alien.top)

I don’t spend more than 5 days in a city.

Even if I’m not staying at a hotel, can I give their address to my bank so they can send the card there? I can plan my trip such that I make a stop in that country to pick it up. I’m not sure if I need to book my stay before doing this or not? I normally don’t even stay at hotels.

Some banks use DHL “overnight” but local rules make that unreliable so I gotta give banks a relatively stable address. Also most banks are slow.

I’m not familiar with how P.O. Boxes work in Europe.

I probably will be in or around Germany when I need this

I don't know how you do that as a DN and don't get burnt out.

Regardless, just contact the place you're staying at 15 days from now and ask them if they are willing to receive and hold a package under your name until you arrive.

I've done it before no problem.
