Where should I setup a bank account in Yeosu?
We asked expats in Yeosu what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...
"Expats considering retirement in Yeosu should be aware of several factors. Firstly, they should have a basic understanding of the Korean language as English is not widely spoken in Yeosu. They should also be prepared for the high cost of living, especially in terms of housing and healthcare. The healthcare system in Korea is excellent but can be expensive for non-residents. Therefore, it is advisable to have a comprehensive health insurance plan. The climate in Yeosu is relatively mild, with four distinct seasons, but the winters can be quite cold. Korean cuisine is a major part of the culture and is typically spicy, so it may take some time for expats to adjust to the local food. Public transportation in Yeosu is reliable and efficient, but understanding the system can be challenging without knowledge of the Korean language. Korea has a unique culture and customs that may be very different from what expats are used to, so it's important to learn and respect these cultural norms. Lastly, while Yeosu is a beautiful city with a lot to offer, it is also relatively small and less cosmopolitan than cities like Seoul or Busan, so expats should be prepared for a quieter, slower pace of life," commented one expat who made the move to Yeosu, Korea.
