We asked people living in Bahamas to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"Only needed electronics (PC or Mac etc) and especially cables; what you can pack in checked luggage; most homes for rent/lease are furnished; would recommend purchasing just low cost housewares here (cheap plastic knockoffs) but any appliance (Air Fryer; etc) you should bring as it will cost double here to purchase plus VAT tax," commented one expat who made the move to Bahamas.

"When packing for a move to the Bahamas, consider packing items such as sunscreen, sunglasses, tropical-weather appropriate clothing, beachwear and a hat to protect against the strong sun, flip-flops or other comfortable shoes for beach days, insect repellent and mosquito netting to protect against the tropical bugs, and water bottles. Additionally, depending on what activities you plan on doing, consider packing accordingly; for instance, if planning to scuba dive, be sure to bring your diving gear. Finally, it is also a good idea to pack a few medicine items such as antihistamines and Tylenol in case of emergency," remarked another expat in Bahamas.
