Where should I setup a bank account in Cordoba?

Answer this Question

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

"Before retiring in Cordoba, expats should know that they will need a visa if they are not EU citizens. They should also be aware that the cost of living is relatively low compared to other European countries, but it's still important to have a solid financial plan in place. Expats should know that the healthcare system in Spain is one of the best in the world, and they will have access to it either through private insurance or the public healthcare system. However, it's recommended to have a good level of Spanish as not all medical professionals speak English. Understanding the Spanish tax system is crucial as Spain has a double taxation agreement with many countries, which means expats may have to pay taxes in both countries. It's advisable to hire a tax consultant to navigate this complex system. Cordoba has a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters, which can be a significant change for those from colder climates. The city is also known for its rich history and culture, with many festivals and events throughout the year. Expats should also be aware that while many people in Cordoba speak English, particularly in the tourism industry, it's beneficial to learn Spanish to fully integrate into the local community and culture. Lastly, it's important to know that Spain has a slower pace of life compared to many other countries. This is particularly true in Cordoba, where siestas are common and shops may close in the afternoon. This slower pace can be a significant adjustment for some people," said another expat in Cordoba, Spain.
