Where should I setup a bank account in Mokpo?

Answer this Question

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

"Expats considering retirement in Mokpo should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, it's important to understand that the cost of living in Mokpo is relatively low compared to other Korean cities, but it's still higher than in many Western countries. Healthcare in Korea is of a high standard, with many doctors speaking English, but it's advisable to secure comprehensive health insurance. Mokpo is a smaller city, so while it offers a more relaxed pace of life, it may not have all the amenities and entertainment options of larger cities. The language barrier can be a challenge, as not everyone speaks English, so learning some basic Korean phrases would be beneficial. Korean cuisine is diverse and delicious, but it can be spicy and different from Western food, so it might take some time to adjust. Public transportation in Mokpo is reliable and affordable, but understanding the system can be difficult without knowledge of the Korean language. Korea has a distinct culture and customs that should be respected, such as removing shoes before entering homes and certain etiquette at dining tables. The weather in Mokpo is relatively mild, with four distinct seasons, but winters can be cold and summers can be hot and humid. Finally, it's important to understand the visa requirements for living in Korea, as you will need a specific visa to retire there," remarked another expat in Mokpo, Korea.
