Where should I setup a bank account in Sha Tin?

Answer this Question

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

"Expats considering retirement in Sha Tin should be aware that the cost of living can be quite high, especially when it comes to housing. They should also know that the healthcare system in Hong Kong is excellent, with a mix of public and private hospitals. However, private healthcare can be expensive, so it's advisable to have comprehensive health insurance. Language can be a barrier as Cantonese is the primary language spoken in Sha Tin, although English is also widely spoken. The climate in Hong Kong is subtropical, with hot, humid summers and mild, dry winters. Expats should be prepared for typhoon season, which typically runs from May to November. Public transportation in Sha Tin is efficient and affordable, with a network of buses, trams, and the Mass Transit Railway (MTR). However, driving can be challenging due to the heavy traffic and complex road system. Hong Kong, including Sha Tin, is generally safe with a low crime rate, but it's always important to stay vigilant and aware of your surroundings. The food in Sha Tin is diverse and delicious, with a mix of local Cantonese cuisine and international options. Expats should also be aware of the political situation in Hong Kong, which has been marked by protests and unrest in recent years. Finally, it's important to understand the visa requirements for living in Hong Kong, as you will need a visa to stay in the country long-term," explained one expat living in Sha Tin, Hong Kong.
