"Before retiring in Barbados, expats should be aware of the cost of living, which is higher than in many other Caribbean countries. They should also research the local healthcare system and the availability of medical services. Additionally, expats should familiarize themselves with the local laws and regulations, as well as the tax system. It is also important to consider the climate and the type of housing available. Finally, expats should research the local culture and customs to ensure a smooth transition into their new home," explained one expat living in Barbados.
