What do I need to know about living in Bangalore?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Bangalore, they said:

"Before retiring in Bangalore, expats should research the cost of living and the availability of healthcare services. They should also familiarize themselves with the local culture and customs, as well as the language. Additionally, expats should consider the climate and the availability of recreational activities. It is also important to research the local job market and the availability of housing. Finally, expats should ensure that they have the necessary visas and permits to live and work in India," explained one expat living in Bangalore, India.

"Surround yourself with positive people, get your support from them should you need it. India is at times challenging, exciting and in its own way crazy but if you are willing to be open to the differences then you will be rewarded with experiences way beyond what you would expect. I love India which is why we have returned here for a second time," said one expat in Bangalore.
