What do I need to know before moving to Sosua?

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

"Before moving to Sosua, Dominican Republic, expats should know that the official language is Spanish, so it would be beneficial to learn some basic phrases. The cost of living is generally lower than in many Western countries, but it's important to budget for unexpected expenses. Healthcare facilities are available but may not be up to the standard that expats are used to, so it's recommended to have comprehensive health insurance. Sosua is known for its beautiful beaches and vibrant nightlife, but it's also important to be aware of safety concerns, particularly petty crime and scams. Expats should also be aware that the infrastructure, including roads and public transportation, may not be as developed as in their home country. The Dominican Republic has a tropical climate, so expats should be prepared for hot and humid weather, as well as hurricane season. It's also important to understand the local customs and etiquette to integrate into the community. Expats should also be aware of the visa and residency requirements for living in the Dominican Republic. It's recommended to hire a local attorney to help navigate the legal process. Lastly, expats should know that while Sosua offers a laid-back lifestyle, it can also be a culture shock, so it's important to be open-minded and adaptable," wrote a member who made the move to Sosua, the Dominican Republic.
