Where should I setup a bank account in Mamanuca Islands?

"Expats considering retirement in the Mamanuca Islands, should be aware that the cost of living can be high, especially for imported goods and luxury items. The official language is English, but the local dialect, Fijian, is also widely spoken, so learning some basic phrases could be beneficial. Healthcare facilities in Fiji are limited and may not be up to the standards expats are used to, so comprehensive health insurance is recommended. The climate is tropical with a warm, rainy season from November to April and a cooler, dry season from May to October. Expats should be prepared for the possibility of cyclones during the rainy season. The islands are renowned for their natural beauty, with opportunities for snorkeling, diving, and other water sports, but there are also risks associated with the local wildlife, such as poisonous snakes and spiders. Fiji has a relaxed, laid-back lifestyle that can be a big adjustment for those used to a fast-paced city life. The local culture is friendly and welcoming, with a strong emphasis on community and family. Expats should respect local customs and traditions, which often involve communal ceremonies and gift-giving. Property ownership can be complex in Fiji, with land divided into three categories: native, freehold, and state. Foreigners can only buy freehold land, which makes up a small percentage of the total land in Fiji. It's also important to note that while Fiji is politically stable, it has experienced coups in the past, so expats should stay informed about the political situation. Finally, while Fiji is generally safe, petty crime can be an issue, particularly in urban areas. Expats should take basic precautions to protect their belongings," commented one expat who made the move to Mamanuca Islands, Fiji.
