Where should I setup a bank account in Laos?
We asked expats in Laos what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...
"Before retiring in Laos, expats should be aware of the cost of living, which is generally lower than in many other countries. It is important to research the availability of healthcare and medical facilities, as well as the quality of these services. Expats should also be aware of the local culture and customs, and be prepared to adapt to the local way of life. Additionally, expats should research the visa requirements for long-term stays in Laos, as well as the process for obtaining a work permit. Finally, expats should be aware of the language barrier, as English is not widely spoken in Laos," explained one expat living in Laos.
