What do I need to know before moving to Pakistan?

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

"I've written over 100 articles about expat life and travel in Pakistan. You can access the index on my blog: http://www.expatheather.com/Expat_Heather/Pakistan.html It includes moving guides, shopping tips, restaurant reviews, packing lists, cultural observations, travel tips and destination guides.

Expats should also be aware of the security situation in the country and take necessary precautions. Additionally, expats should research the cost of living in the area they are moving to and make sure they have enough funds to cover their expenses. Finally, expats should make sure they have the necessary visas and permits to live and work in Pakistan," explained one expat living in Pakistan.
