Where should I setup a bank account in Lautoka?

Answer this Question

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

"Before retiring in Lautoka, expats should know that the official language is English, but Fijian and Hindi are also widely spoken. The cost of living is relatively low compared to many Western countries, but imported goods can be expensive. Healthcare facilities in Lautoka are adequate for routine issues, but serious medical conditions may require evacuation to Australia or New Zealand. Expats should be aware that Fiji has a tropical climate, with a warm, rainy season from November to April and a cooler, dry season from May to October. Lautoka is known as the "Sugar City" due to its sugar cane production, and it offers a relaxed lifestyle with beautiful beaches and a rich local culture. Expats should also know that Fiji's immigration laws require foreigners to have a specific type of visa to retire in the country. It's important to research and understand the visa requirements before making any plans. Property ownership can be complex in Fiji, with different rules for native land, freehold land, and leasehold land. It's recommended to seek legal advice before purchasing property. Lastly, while Fiji is generally a safe country, expats should be aware of occasional tropical cyclones and should take standard precautions against petty crime," remarked another expat who made the move to Lautoka, Fiji.
