What do I need to know before retiring in Bangladesh?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Bangladesh, they said...
"Before retiring in Bangladesh, expats should research the cost of living in the country and the availability of healthcare services. It is also important to familiarize oneself with the local culture and customs, as well as the language. Additionally, expats should consider the safety and security of the area they plan to retire in, and make sure to obtain the necessary visas and permits. Finally, expats should consider the climate of Bangladesh and the availability of recreational activities," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Bangladesh.
"Without basic Bengali language skills you will be lost, it's nothing like Dhaka. (it's better)," commented one expat who made the move to Sylhet, Bangladesh.
