Hello,
I have posted in several places at the kind recommendations of members of this community. So I'll try to be specific and not bore everyone to pieces:
I will be arriving in Morocco - freighter - approximately 5 October. (See new member post if interested in details)
As I am desirous of making Essaouira my home, I seek the advice and suggestions of those who certainly know better than I as to the following:
- Bank recommendation
- Documents to be sure to have with me
Personal
From my US Bank - which is a credit union
- Specific requirements for US citizens
- Setting up communication between US and local bank to transfer funds
- Tips and advice in general - finance, culture, cost of living
My goal is to be prepared as possible and be cooperative with in country and international banking laws and to be a pleasant person with whom to conduct business.
I am not interested in "doing like it's done in the states". It is not my mind set.
Thank you very much in advance for your consideration and time.
