Where should I setup a bank account in Rakiraki?

Answer this Question

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

"Expats considering retirement in Rakiraki, should be aware that the cost of living is relatively low compared to many Western countries, but imported goods can be expensive. The local language is Fijian, but English is widely spoken, so communication should not be a problem. The healthcare system in Fiji is not as advanced as in some Western countries, so it's important to have a good health insurance plan. Rakiraki is known for its warm, tropical climate, so expats should be prepared for hot and humid weather. The town is small and rural, offering a slower pace of life, which can be a significant change for those used to living in bustling cities. Fiji's immigration laws require that expats have a specific amount of money in their bank account to qualify for a retirement visa. It's also important to note that while Fiji is generally safe, petty crime can be an issue, so it's important to take standard precautions to protect your belongings. Fiji's culture is deeply rooted in community and respect for elders, which can be a positive aspect for retirees. However, it's essential to understand and respect local customs and traditions. Lastly, while Rakiraki is beautiful and offers a peaceful lifestyle, it's relatively isolated, and access to certain amenities and services may be limited. Therefore, it's crucial to consider your lifestyle needs and whether they can be met in this location," said another expat in Rakiraki, Fiji.
