What do I need to know before moving to Liberia?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Liberia, they said:
"Expatriates should be aware that Liberia is a developing country and that the infrastructure is not as developed as in other countries. It is important to research the cost of living in Liberia before moving, as prices can vary significantly from city to city. Expats should also be aware that the healthcare system in Liberia is not as advanced as in other countries, and it is important to have adequate health insurance coverage. Additionally, expats should be aware that the political situation in Liberia is unstable and that there is a risk of civil unrest.
