What do I need to know before moving to Somalia?

Answer this Question

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

"Somalia is a dangerous country with a high risk of terrorism, crime, and civil unrest. It is important to research the security situation before travelling to Somalia. Expats should also be aware of the country's strict laws and regulations, including the need to obtain a visa before entering the country. Additionally, expats should be aware of the limited infrastructure and services available in Somalia, including limited access to healthcare, electricity, and water. Finally, expats should be aware of the cultural differences between Somalia and their home country, and be prepared to adjust to a new way of life," remarked another expat in Somalia.
