How much does it really cost to live, work, or travel in ? Here's what to expect for daily expenses and expat living.
Travelers planning a mid-range stay in French Polynesia, an enchanting South Pacific paradise, should budget approximately $2,500 to $3,000 for a one-week visit. This estimation includes accommodation, meals, activities, and some leisure expenses. Here’s a breakdown of typical daily expenses you might encounter in the local currency, the CFP franc (XPF):
Overall, French Polynesia is considered expensive to visit compared to countries like the United States, where daily expenses might be lower due to greater availability of budget options. Compared to the UK, prices can be somewhat similar, but French Polynesia tends to offer fewer budget-friendly choices. In contrast, Australia may provide a balance, wherein daily spending can vary significantly based on location and lifestyle choices.
For expats settling in French Polynesia, monthly living costs can average around XPF 200,000 to 300,000 depending on lifestyle preferences and housing choices. Key expenses include rent, utilities, groceries, and leisure activities. Remember that while local markets and shops can be more expensive for imports, fresh produce is often affordable and high-quality.
When it comes to banking, using international credit or debit cards is widely accepted, although it's best to have some cash on hand for small vendors or markets. Transfer services like Wise and OFX often provide better exchange rates and lower fees compared to traditional banks, making them a more viable option for sending or receiving funds. However, currency exchange done locally may yield competitive rates, especially in larger towns. It’s prudent to compare options and choose the method that best suits your needs to ensure smooth and cost-effective transactions while living in this beautiful destination.
