49 pages is a lot - yes you can.

Mmm, not quite as straight forward as that (taken from the MSE website):

There's no set limit, though Virgin Money told us you'd need to have a good reason to open further accounts. When pressed, it suggested that opening another account to get more interest wouldn't be considered a good reason, but opening a joint account with your partner as you liked your individual account so much would be seen much more kindly.

Anyone got a photo of the debit card (with sensitive information blurred out obviously)?

I'm greedy and opened a second account last week.  The application process was completely automate and I was given my new account number immediately.  I could also view my new account in online banking.

Card and PIN arrived quickly.  Applied for new account on the 4th in the evening.  Card and PIN arrived on the 8th.

I've also got two of these, plus an old B (3 years old) which has just been rebranded (new card arrived last week. Confused me a bit as it wasn't clear it was a B replacement card). 

I opened the first VM in May and second in June. All 3 accounts have a £1k OD facility (offered at application page) but I just paid £1k into each and leave it. 

When I opened the first (and second) I was logged in so it pre-filled in most the form anyway. I just updated a few bits to bring it up to date. Went through the application and was offered account and OD; clicked accept to the offer and account was visible instantly on mobile app. Very easy & smooth process in my view.

No need to blur any information as all the info is on the back, the front looks exactly like the one in the picture posted earlier apart from the "chip" next to the Mastercard logo.
When you say "in person" you mean a picture of someone holding the card? (Do they need to smile too?)
