What do I need to know before retiring in Hong Kong?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Hong Kong, they said...
"Before retiring in Hong Kong, expats should be aware of the cost of living, which is generally higher than in other parts of the world. It is important to research the different types of visas available and the associated requirements for each. Expats should also be aware of the language barrier, as English is not widely spoken in Hong Kong. Additionally, expats should research the healthcare system and the availability of medical insurance. Finally, expats should familiarize themselves with the local culture and customs to ensure a smooth transition into their new home," explained one expat living in Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
