What do I need to know before retiring in Russia?

Answer this Question

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

"Before retiring in Russia, expats should familiarize themselves with the local language and culture. It is also important to research the cost of living in the area they plan to retire in, as well as the availability of healthcare and other services. Additionally, expats should make sure to obtain the necessary visas and permits to live and work in Russia. Finally, it is important to understand the local laws and regulations, as well as the tax system, to ensure a smooth transition into retirement," explained one expat living in Russia.
