What do I need to know before retiring in Penang?

Answer this Question

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

"Before retiring in Penang, expats should be aware of the cost of living, which is generally lower than in other parts of the world. It is important to research the local healthcare system and ensure that adequate medical coverage is in place. Additionally, expats should familiarize themselves with the local culture and customs, as well as the language, to ensure a smooth transition. It is also important to research the local job market and the availability of recreational activities. Finally, expats should ensure that they have the necessary visas and permits to live and work in Penang," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Penang, Malaysia.
