What do I need to know before retiring in Peru?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Peru, they said...
"Expats should research the cost of living in Peru before retiring there, as it can vary greatly depending on the city and lifestyle. It is also important to familiarize oneself with the local language, as English is not widely spoken in Peru. Additionally, expats should research the healthcare system in Peru and consider purchasing private health insurance. It is also important to research the local laws and regulations, as well as the visa requirements for expats. Finally, expats should consider the cultural differences between their home country and Peru, and be prepared to adjust to a new way of life," said another expat in Peru.
