"One of the most challenging aspects of retiring in Czechia is the language barrier. Although English is widely spoken in the country, many of the official documents and services related to retirement are only available in Czech. Additionally, the cost of living in Czechia can be quite high, making it difficult to maintain a comfortable lifestyle on a fixed income. Furthermore, the healthcare system in Czechia can be complex and difficult to navigate, making it difficult for retirees to access the care they need. Finally, the cultural differences between Czechia and other countries can be difficult to adjust to, making it difficult for retirees to feel at home in their new environment," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Czech Rep.
