Where should I setup a bank account in Flores?

Answer this Question

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

"Before retiring in Flores, expats should know that the official language is Spanish, so learning the language would be beneficial. The cost of living is relatively low compared to many Western countries, but it's important to have a clear understanding of your budget and financial situation. Healthcare facilities are available but may not be up to the standard that expats from Western countries are used to. Expats should also be aware that the climate in Flores is tropical, with a wet and dry season. The city is safe with a low crime rate, but like any place, it's important to take precautions and stay aware of your surroundings. Flores is a small island city, so it may not offer the same level of amenities or entertainment options as larger cities. However, it is known for its natural beauty, including nearby lakes and national parks. Guatemalan cuisine is a blend of Mayan and Spanish influences, and while Flores has a range of restaurants, expats might need time to adjust to the local food. Finally, it's important to understand the visa and residency requirements for Guatemala. Expats can stay in Guatemala for up to 90 days on a tourist visa, but for longer stays, you'll need to apply for a residency visa. It's recommended to consult with a legal expert to understand the process and requirements," remarked another expat who made the move to Flores, Guatemala.
