Where should I setup a bank account in Olomouc?
We asked expats in Olomouc what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...
"Before retiring in Olomoucublic, expats should know that the city is known for its relaxed pace of life, beautiful architecture, and rich history. It's a smaller city, so it may not offer the same level of amenities or entertainment options as larger cities like Prague. The cost of living in Olomouc is generally lower than in other European cities, but expats should still plan their finances carefully. The local currency is the Czech koruna, not the Euro, and it's important to understand the exchange rate. Expats should also be aware that while many younger Czechs speak English, older generations may not. Learning some basic Czech phrases can be very helpful in day-to-day life. Healthcare in the Czech Republic is of a high standard, but expats should ensure they have adequate health insurance. EU citizens can use their European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) for necessary treatments, but non-EU citizens will need private health insurance. The Czech Republic has a continental climate, with cold winters and warm summers. Expats from warmer climates may need time to adjust to the colder weather, particularly in winter. Public transportation in Olomouc is reliable and affordable, with a network of trams and buses. However, many places in the city are easily walkable. The Czech Republic is part of the Schengen Area, so visa requirements will depend on the retiree's country of origin. It's important to research this before making any plans. Finally, the Czech people are known for their love of beer, so expats should be prepared to enjoy some of the best beers in the world," remarked another expat in Olomouc, Czechia.
