Where should I setup a bank account in Praslin?

Answer this Question

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

"Expats considering retirement in Praslin should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, the cost of living can be high, especially for imported goods, due to the island's remote location. Healthcare facilities are limited and may not offer the same standard of care as in more developed countries, so it's advisable to have a comprehensive health insurance plan. The official language is English, but many locals also speak a French-based Creole, so learning some basic phrases could be beneficial. The local currency is the Eastern Caribbean Dollar, but US dollars are widely accepted. The climate is tropical, with a rainy season from June to November, which can bring hurricanes. The island is generally safe, but like any location, it has some crime, so it's important to take standard precautions. Property ownership laws are straightforward, but hiring a local attorney to help navigate the process is recommended. It's also important to understand that while the island offers a relaxed lifestyle, it may lack some amenities and conveniences that you may be used to. Finally, while Saint Lucia has a lot to offer in terms of natural beauty, it's advisable to visit first to ensure that the lifestyle suits you before making a permanent move," wrote a member who made the move to Praslin, Saint Lucia.
