Where should I setup a bank account in Chisinau?

Answer this Question

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

"Expats considering retiring in Chisinau should be aware of several factors before making the move. Firstly, it is essential to research and understand the visa and residency requirements for retirees, as well as any potential tax implications. The cost of living in Chisinau is generally lower than in Western European countries, but it is crucial to have a realistic budget and consider factors such as housing, utilities, healthcare, and transportation. Healthcare facilities in Chisinau may not be up to the standards that expats are accustomed to in their home countries. It is essential to have comprehensive health insurance and be prepared to travel for specialized medical care if necessary. The official language in Moldova is Romanian, and while some locals may speak English or Russian, it is beneficial for expats to learn the local language to ease communication and integration into the community. Chisinau has a continental climate with hot summers and cold winters. Expats should be prepared for these weather conditions and ensure their housing has adequate heating and insulation. Public transportation in Chisinau is limited, and many expats choose to drive or hire a car. It is essential to familiarize oneself with local driving laws and obtain an international driving permit if necessary. The political situation in Moldova can be unstable, and expats should stay informed about any potential safety concerns or travel advisories. Finally, it is crucial for expats to be open-minded and adaptable to the local culture and customs. Building connections with locals and other expats can help ease the transition and create a fulfilling retirement experience in Chisinau," wrote a member who made the move to Chisinau, Moldova.
