"Expats considering retirement in Willikies should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, the cost of living can be high, particularly for imported goods, due to the island's remote location. The official language is English, which can make the transition easier for English-speaking expats. The climate is tropical maritime, with little seasonal temperature variation, which can be a draw for those seeking a warm, beach-side retirement. However, the area is prone to hurricanes, which can cause significant damage. Healthcare facilities in Antigua and Barbuda are adequate for routine health problems, but serious conditions may require evacuation to a country with more advanced medical facilities. Therefore, comprehensive health insurance that covers medical evacuation is recommended. The crime rate is relatively low, but petty crime like burglary and theft do occur, so it's important to take standard safety precautions. The process of buying property as a foreigner can be complex and requires government approval, so it's advisable to hire a local attorney to navigate the process. Finally, while there is no income tax in Antigua and Barbuda, there are other taxes, such as property tax and a 15% sales tax, that expats should be aware of," remarked another expat who made the move to Willikies, Antigua & Barbuda.
