Where should I setup a bank account in Gold Coast?

Answer this Question

We asked expats in Gold Coast what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...

"Expats considering retirement in Gold Coast should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, understanding the cost of living is crucial as it is relatively high compared to other parts of the world. This includes housing, healthcare, groceries, and transportation. Secondly, healthcare in Australia is of a high standard, but it's important to understand how it works. Australia has a public healthcare system called Medicare, but it may not cover all expats, so private health insurance might be necessary. Thirdly, the climate in Gold Coast is subtropical with warm, wet summers and mild, dry winters. It's important to consider how this climate will suit your health and lifestyle. Fourthly, Australia has strict immigration laws. To retire in Australia, you will need to apply for a visa, which can be a complex process. Fifthly, the primary language spoken in Australia is English, but the Australian accent and slang can be difficult to understand at first. Sixthly, Australia has a high standard of living and is known for its outdoor lifestyle, beautiful beaches, and wildlife. However, it's also home to a variety of dangerous animals, so it's important to be aware of this. Lastly, it's important to understand the tax implications of retiring in Australia. Australia has a tax treaty with many countries to avoid double taxation, but it's recommended to seek advice from a tax professional," remarked another expat who made the move to Gold Coast, Australia.
