Where should I setup a bank account in San Jose?
We asked expats in San Jose what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...
"Before retiring in San Jose, expats should know that the city offers a relaxed lifestyle with a warm, temperate climate. The cost of living is relatively low compared to many Western countries, but it's higher than in other Latin American countries. Healthcare is of a high standard, with both public and private options available. Expats should also be aware that the official language is Spanish, so it would be beneficial to learn the language or at least basic phrases. The city is safe with a low crime rate, but like anywhere, it's important to take standard precautions. San Jose has a rich culture and history, with many festivals and events throughout the year. The food is a mix of traditional Uruguayan cuisine and international dishes. The process of obtaining a residency visa can be lengthy and requires several documents, including proof of income. It's recommended to hire a local attorney to assist with this process. The city is well-connected with good infrastructure, but public transportation is not as developed as in some countries, so having a car can be beneficial. Lastly, Uruguay has a high tax rate, and while the country does not double tax, it's important to understand the tax obligations before moving," explained one expat living in San Jose, Uruguay.
