What are the most challenging aspects of retiring in Kazakhstan?

Answer this Question

We asked retirees what they find the most challenging about retiring in Kazakhstan. They wrote...

"One of the most challenging aspects of retiring in Kazakhstan is the language barrier. English is not widely spoken in Kazakhstan, so it can be difficult for expats to communicate with locals. Additionally, the cost of living in Kazakhstan is relatively high, making it difficult for retirees to live comfortably on a fixed income. Furthermore, the healthcare system in Kazakhstan is not as advanced as in other countries, so retirees may have difficulty accessing quality medical care. Finally, the cultural differences between Kazakhstan and other countries can be difficult to adjust to, making it difficult for expats to feel at home in their new environment," remarked another expat in Kazakhstan.
