Where should I setup a bank account in Kabul?

"Kabul is a bustling, yet turbulent city, so it is important to keep safety considerations in mind when considering retiring there. Even with increased security, it is still important to stay aware of your surroundings, vary your routines, and avoid large gatherings or any demonstrations. Additionally, there are limited availability of hospital and medical care; it is recommended to obtain supplemental medical insurance and to bring all necessary medicines with you. Furthermore, it may be difficult to obtain items such as specialty food and other everyday items, so it is important to be prepared before deciding to retire in Kabul. Additionally, the legal and paperwork requirements for expats are extensive, so it is recommended to get informed about the necessary requirements. Finally, make sure to get informed about the cost of living in Kabul, and ensure that you will be able to support yourself financially while living there," wrote a member who made the move to Kabul, Afghanistan.
