What do I need to know before moving to Harrington Hundreds?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Harrington Hundreds, they said:
"Expats moving to Harrington Hundreds should be aware that the cost of living is quite high, with groceries, rent, and utilities often costing more than in other countries. The official language is English, but the local accent may take some getting used to. The currency used is the Bermudian dollar, which is pegged to the US dollar, and both currencies are accepted everywhere. Bermuda has a subtropical climate, so lightweight clothing is suitable year-round. However, it's important to note that Bermuda is quite conservative, so beachwear should be reserved for the beach. The island is also prone to hurricanes, particularly between June and November. Public transportation is reliable and includes buses and ferries, but owning a car can be expensive due to high import duties. Expats are not allowed to own more than one car, and there are restrictions on the size of the car as well. Healthcare in Bermuda is of a high standard but can be expensive. It's recommended to have comprehensive health insurance. The island is safe with a low crime rate, but it's still important to take standard precautions. Bermuda has a strong sense of community, and locals are generally friendly and welcoming. There are also plenty of activities to enjoy, from water sports to exploring the island's history and culture. Finally, it's important to understand Bermuda's immigration laws. Work permits are required for expats and these can be difficult to obtain unless you have a job offer from a Bermudian company," said one expat who made the move to Harrington Hundreds.
