What do I need to know before retiring in Somalia?

Answer this Question

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

"Somalia is a country with a complex political and security situation, so it is important for expats to research the current situation before deciding to retire there. Expats should also be aware that the infrastructure in Somalia is limited, and that access to healthcare and other services may be difficult to find. Additionally, expats should be aware that the local currency, the Somali shilling, is not widely accepted outside of Somalia, so it is important to have access to other forms of currency. Finally, expats should be aware that the climate in Somalia is hot and dry, and that the country is prone to droughts and floods," said another expat in Somalia.
