What do I need to know before retiring in Salmiya?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Salmiya, they said...
"Before retiring in Salmiya, expats should be aware of the local laws and regulations. It is important to research the cost of living in the area, as well as the availability of healthcare and other services. Additionally, expats should be aware of the cultural norms and expectations in Kuwait, and be prepared to respect them. It is also important to research the visa and residency requirements for expats in Kuwait, and to ensure that all necessary paperwork is in order before arriving. Finally, expats should be aware of the climate in Salmiya, as it can be quite hot and humid during the summer months," commented one expat who made the move to Salmiya, Kuwait.
