What do I need to know before retiring in Perth?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Perth, they said...
"I would say..... bring a pair of bathers a T shirt and shorts and lets get a suntan. I would also say to live within a 5 km radius of the city, North Perth, Victoria park Leederville, Subiaco, Como or live down at the Fremantle area to name a few suburbs. If you prefer the hills and trees type environment then Kalamunda, Roleystone, Parkerville (more for the family oriented). Bring a bike because the bike paths here are scenic and second to none. Weekends hold lots to do especially in the winery districts both in Perth and down south (3 - 4 hours drive)," remarked another expat in Perth, Australia.
"Retiring to Perth can be a great option for expats! Before retiring, it is important to consider the cost of living in Perth, as well as the availability of health care and transportation options. Be sure to become familiar with local taxes and urban planning regulations that may affect the expat's retirement plans. If an expat is looking to apply for permanent residence or citizenship, they should research the various visa options available to them. Additionally, expats should look into the best neighborhoods for retirement and learn about the various cultural and recreational activities that Perth has to offer. Lastly, it is always advisable to have a comprehensive understanding of local laws and regulations. Taking the time to thoroughly research these topics will help ensure that retiring in Perth is an enjoyable and successful experience," said a member in Perth, Australia, Australia.
