2020 SA Applying from Overseas

Hi, I am currently in the process of applying to SA positions in the UK and HK for 2020. I am currently in my home country before I start my masters in late August and was wondering if I should apply now with my contact details based on my home country or apply later on with my contact details changed to the one in the UK. I am contemplating between the two for the following reasons:

1) Apply now with current details - Would allow me to apply early but would have to update HR with updated CV and application with new contact details, which may be a hassle for banks and analysts in terms of communicating information

2) Apply later with updated contact details - Would have to make my application in late August (possibly too late)

Any tips?
