Where should I setup a bank account in Coron?

Answer this Question

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

"Expats considering retirement in Coron should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, the cost of living is generally lower than in many Western countries, but it's important to budget for unexpected expenses. Healthcare is affordable and of good quality, but it's recommended to have comprehensive health insurance. The official language is Filipino, but English is widely spoken, especially in tourist areas. The climate is tropical, with a dry season from November to April and a rainy season from May to October. Coron is known for its natural beauty, including pristine beaches, clear waters, and diverse marine life, making it a popular destination for diving and snorkelling. The local cuisine is a blend of Filipino, Spanish, and Asian influences, with seafood being a staple. The Philippines has a residency program for retirees, known as the Special Resident Retiree’s Visa (SRRV), which offers benefits such as duty-free importation of household goods and exemption from travel tax. Public transportation is available, but it may not be as reliable or extensive as in your home country. It's also important to note that while the Philippines is generally safe, there can be instances of petty crime, so it's important to take standard precautions. Lastly, it's crucial to respect local customs and traditions, as the Philippines is a predominantly Catholic country with a rich cultural heritage," remarked another expat who made the move to Coron, Philippines.
