What do I need to know before moving to Cape Town?

Answer this Question

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Cape Town, they said...

"Cape Town is a vibrant and diverse city with a lot to offer expats. It is important to research the cost of living in the city before moving, as it can be quite expensive. It is also important to familiarize yourself with the local laws and customs, as well as the language. It is also important to make sure you have the necessary visas and permits to live and work in the country. Additionally, it is important to make sure you have adequate health insurance coverage. Finally, it is important to take the time to explore the city and its many attractions, as there is much to see and do in Cape Town," wrote a member who made the move to Cape Town, South Africa.
