What do I need to know before moving to Tucker's Town?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Tucker's Town, they said:

"Tucker's Town is a small, affluent community located on the eastern end of the island, known for its luxury resorts, golf courses, and private beaches. Before moving to Tucker's Town, expats should be aware that the cost of living in Bermuda is one of the highest in the world. This includes housing, groceries, utilities, and transportation. Expats should also know that Bermuda has strict immigration laws. It is not easy to obtain permanent residency, and work permits are typically granted to those with specialized skills that are in demand. The official language of Bermuda is English, but the local accent can sometimes be difficult to understand. The currency used is the Bermudian dollar, which is pegged to the US dollar. Bermuda has a subtropical climate, with mild winters and hot, humid summers. Hurricanes can occur between June and November, so it's important to be prepared for potential severe weather. Healthcare in Bermuda is of a high standard, but it can be expensive. Expats should ensure they have comprehensive health insurance. Bermuda's education system is based on the British model, and there are both public and private schools available. However, spaces in schools can be limited, so it's recommended to apply well in advance. Driving in Bermuda is on the left-hand side of the road, and the speed limit is generally low. Cars are limited to one per household, and many residents use scooters as a primary mode of transportation. Bermuda has a strong sense of community, and local customs and traditions are highly valued. Expats are encouraged to participate in local events and festivals to integrate into the community. Finally, Bermuda is a beautiful island with a rich history and culture. Expats moving to Tucker's Town can look forward to enjoying the stunning beaches, outdoor activities, and friendly local community," remarked one expat who made the move to Tucker's Town.
