Where should I setup a bank account in Dangriga?

Answer this Question

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

"Before retiring in Dangriga, expats should know that the official language is English, but many locals also speak Garifuna, Spanish, and Creole. The cost of living is relatively low compared to many Western countries, but it's higher than in other parts of Belize. Healthcare facilities in Dangriga are basic, so those with serious medical conditions may need to travel to larger cities for treatment. Expats should be aware that Dangriga has a tropical climate with high humidity and rainfall, especially during the rainy season from June to November. The town is culturally rich, known for its music, art, and festivals, particularly the Garifuna Settlement Day in November. Dangriga is not as developed as other parts of Belize, so amenities and infrastructure may not be up to Western standards. Expats should also know that while Dangriga is generally safe, like any other place, it has some crime, and it's advisable to take standard precautions. It's important to understand the visa and residency requirements in Belize, which typically involve proving a steady income from pensions or investments. Lastly, expats should be prepared for a slower pace of life, as the local culture values relaxation and family time over work and productivity," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Dangriga, Belize.
