Where should I setup a bank account in Laborie?

Answer this Question

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

"Expats considering retirement in Laborie should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, the cost of living in Saint Lucia is relatively high compared to other Caribbean islands, so it's important to have a solid financial plan in place. The official language is English, but many locals also speak a French-based Creole, so learning some basic phrases could be beneficial. Healthcare facilities in Saint Lucia are adequate, but serious medical conditions may require evacuation to a country with more advanced medical facilities. Therefore, comprehensive health insurance is recommended. The climate in Laborie is tropical, with a wet season from June to November, and a dry season from December to May. It's important to be prepared for this, particularly if you're not used to living in a tropical climate. The crime rate in Saint Lucia is higher than in some other Caribbean countries, so it's important to take precautions to ensure your safety. This includes being aware of your surroundings, not displaying signs of wealth, and securing your home. The process of buying property in Saint Lucia as a foreigner can be complex, so it's advisable to hire a local attorney to help navigate the process. Finally, while Laborie is a beautiful and vibrant community, it's important to visit and spend time there before making the decision to retire, to ensure it's the right fit for your lifestyle and retirement goals," said another expat in Laborie, Saint Lucia.
