Where should I setup a bank account in Kilkenny?
We asked expats in Kilkenny what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...
"Expats considering retirement in Kilkenny should be aware that the cost of living can be high, particularly in terms of housing and healthcare. They should also know that Ireland has a public healthcare system, but private health insurance is recommended for more comprehensive coverage. Understanding the tax system is crucial as Ireland has a double taxation agreement with many countries, which means expats may not have to pay tax in two countries. Kilkenny is a city rich in culture and history, with a vibrant arts scene, so there are plenty of activities for retirees. However, the weather can be quite changeable, with a lot of rainfall throughout the year, which may not suit everyone. English is the main language spoken, but Irish (Gaelic) is also used, particularly in official contexts. Public transportation is available, but services can be limited, especially in more rural areas, so having a car may be beneficial. Finally, it's important to note that Ireland is part of the European Union, so EU citizens have the right to live and work there, but non-EU citizens may require a visa or residency permit," remarked another expat who made the move to Kilkenny, Ireland.
