Where should I setup a bank account in Sosua?

Answer this Question

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

"Before retiring in Sosua, Dominican Republic, expats should know that the cost of living is generally lower than in many Western countries, but it can vary depending on lifestyle choices. They should be aware that the official language is Spanish, so learning the language or having a basic understanding can be beneficial. Expats should also know that the healthcare system in the Dominican Republic is not as advanced as in some Western countries, although there are private hospitals and clinics that offer high-quality care. It's important to understand that the Dominican Republic has a tropical climate, with hot, humid weather throughout the year and a hurricane season from June to November. Expats should be aware that Sosua is a popular tourist destination, known for its beautiful beaches and vibrant nightlife, which can make it crowded during peak tourist season. They should also know that while the Dominican Republic is generally safe, crime can be an issue, particularly petty theft and scams targeting foreigners. Expats should understand that they will need a residency visa to stay in the Dominican Republic long-term, and the process can be complex and time-consuming. They should also be aware that the infrastructure in the Dominican Republic is not as developed as in many Western countries, with frequent power outages and unreliable internet service. Finally, expats should know that the culture in the Dominican Republic is very different from many Western countries, with a laid-back lifestyle and a strong emphasis on family and community," wrote a member who made the move to Sosua, the Dominican Republic.
