What do I need to know before retiring in Algeria?

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

"Before retiring in Algeria, expats should be aware of the country's visa and residency requirements. They should also research the cost of living in Algeria, as well as the availability of healthcare and other services. Additionally, expats should familiarize themselves with the local culture and customs, as well as the language, to ensure a smooth transition. Finally, expats should ensure that they have adequate financial resources to support themselves during their retirement in Algeria," remarked another expat who made the move to Algeria.

"I lived in Algeria for 13 years before returning to my home country. Arabic is the language but it's a North African dialect that other Arabic countries do not understand. It's a mixture of French and Arabic. There are no books that can help you with it, but as you live there you will pick some of it up through the locals. English is becoming more spoken with the younger generations," explained one expat living in Algeria.
