Where should I setup a bank account in Ba?

Answer this Question

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

"Before retiring in Ba, expats should know that the cost of living is relatively low compared to many Western countries, but imported goods can be expensive. They should be aware that Fiji has a tropical climate, with a wet season from November to April and a dry season from May to October. Expats should also understand that while English is one of the official languages, the local language is Fijian and it would be beneficial to learn some basic phrases. Healthcare facilities in Fiji are adequate for routine problems, but serious conditions may require evacuation to a country with more advanced medical facilities. Expats should also be aware that Fiji has a slower pace of life compared to many Western countries, which can be a significant adjustment. They should also know that while Fiji is generally safe, petty crime can be an issue and it's important to take standard precautions to protect personal belongings. Before moving, expats should research and understand the visa requirements for Fiji. They should also be aware that while Fiji has a lot to offer in terms of natural beauty, it is a developing country and infrastructure can be lacking in some areas. Lastly, expats should know that Fiji has a communal culture with a strong emphasis on family and community involvement. Understanding and respecting local customs and traditions is important for integrating into the local community," said a member in Fiji.
