Kabul

If a friend of yours was thinking of moving to this city or town from far away, what other advice would you give them.

Before retiring in Kabul, expats should be aware that the security situation in the country is unstable, with both crime and insurgent activity still a threat. It is important to be aware of local laws, customs and cultural etiquette to ensure a safe and respectful stay. Expats should also research the availability of amenities and services such as healthcare, banking, communications, internet and electricity to ensure they can access what they need. Eating and drinking should be done in moderation, and it is important to also be aware of the cost of living and potential employment opportunities. Additionally, expats will need to be aware of how to obtain visas and residence permits if needed.
