Where should I setup a bank account in Trois-Ilets?

Answer this Question

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

"Expats considering retirement in Trois-Ilets should be aware that the official language is French, so it would be beneficial to learn or have a basic understanding of the language. The cost of living can be high, especially when it comes to imported goods, due to its remote location. Healthcare in Martinique is of a high standard, but it's advisable to have comprehensive health insurance. The climate is tropical, with a rainy and a dry season, and it is susceptible to hurricanes between June and November. The local currency is the Euro as Martinique is an overseas department of France. It's important to understand the tax implications of retiring in Martinique, as France has a tax treaty with many countries, which could affect your tax situation. Public transportation is available but having a car can be more convenient for exploring the island. The island is known for its relaxed lifestyle, beautiful beaches, and vibrant culture, but it's advisable to visit first to see if it suits your retirement expectations. The local cuisine is a blend of French and Creole influences, with seafood being a staple. Safety is generally not a major concern in Martinique, but like anywhere, it's important to take standard precautions. Lastly, it's important to understand the immigration process, as you will need to apply for a long-stay visa if you plan to retire there," wrote a member who made the move to Trois-Ilets, Martinique.
