Where should I setup a bank account in San Juan La Laguna?

Answer this Question

We asked expats in San Juan La Laguna what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...

"San Juan La Laguna, is a beautiful and tranquil place to retire, but there are several things expats should know before making the move. Firstly, the cost of living is relatively low compared to many Western countries, but it's important to have a clear understanding of your budget and financial situation. The official language is Spanish, so learning the language or at least basic phrases will be beneficial. The healthcare system in Guatemala is not as advanced as in some Western countries, so it's important to have a good health insurance plan. The climate is generally warm and tropical, but it can get quite cool at night, so appropriate clothing is necessary. The local culture is rich and vibrant, with a strong influence from the indigenous Mayan population. Public transportation is widely available, but it's not always reliable or comfortable. Safety can be a concern in some areas, so it's important to research and choose your neighborhood carefully. The pace of life is slower than in many Western countries, which can be a big adjustment. Finally, it's important to understand the visa and residency requirements for living in Guatemala long-term," said a member in San Juan La Laguna, Guatemala.
