Where should I setup a bank account in Porec?

Answer this Question

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

"Before retiring in Porec, expats should know that the official language is Croatian, so learning the basics of the language would be beneficial. However, English is widely spoken, especially in tourist areas. The cost of living in Porec is generally lower than in many Western European countries, but it's still important to have a clear understanding of your budget and financial situation. Healthcare in Croatia is of a high standard, but it's recommended to have comprehensive health insurance. Croatia is part of the European Union, so if you're an EU citizen, you have the right to reside in Croatia. Non-EU citizens will need to apply for a residence permit. Porec has a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters, which can be a significant change if you're from a colder climate. Croatian culture places a high value on family and social connections, so be prepared to invest time in building relationships with locals. Porec is a popular tourist destination, especially in the summer, so it can get crowded. However, it also means there are plenty of amenities and activities available. Croatia's tax system can be complex, so it's advisable to seek professional advice to understand your tax obligations. Finally, it's important to note that while Croatia is generally safe, it's still necessary to take standard precautions to protect your personal safety and belongings," remarked another expat who made the move to Porec, Croatia.
