Where should I setup a bank account in San Pedro?

"Before retiring in San Pedro, expats should know that the official language is English, which makes communication easier. The cost of living is relatively low compared to many Western countries, but it's higher than in other parts of Belize. The currency is the Belize dollar, which is pegged to the US dollar at a rate of 2:1. Expats should be aware that the healthcare system in Belize is not as advanced as in some other countries, and serious medical conditions may require evacuation to a country with more advanced medical facilities. Private health insurance is recommended. San Pedro is located on Ambergris Caye, the largest island in Belize, and it's known for its beautiful beaches, clear waters, and barrier reef. The climate is tropical, with a wet and dry season, and hurricanes can occur. The immigration process for retirees involves applying for the Qualified Retired Persons (QRP) program, which offers several benefits, including tax breaks. However, to qualify, you must spend at least one month per year in Belize and show a steady income from outside Belize. The crime rate in San Pedro is relatively low, but petty crime can be a problem, so it's important to take precautions. The pace of life is slower than in many Western countries, which some people find relaxing, but others may find frustrating. Public transportation is limited, so many residents use golf carts or bicycles to get around. There are also water taxis that can take you to other parts of the island or to the mainland. The food in San Pedro is a mix of Belizean, Mexican, and Caribbean cuisines, with a lot of seafood. There are also several grocery stores where you can buy familiar products from the US. Finally, it's important to remember that moving to a new country is a big adjustment, and it can take time to get used to the new culture and way of life. It's a good idea to visit San Pedro several times before deciding to retire there, to make sure it's the right fit for you," said another expat in San Pedro, Belize.
