What do I need to know before retiring in Afghanistan?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Afghanistan, they said...
"Expatriates considering retirement in Afghanistan should first research the local culture, laws, and customs; learn the local language, especially Pashto and Dari; be aware of the security situation and understand the risks involved; visit Afghanistan to meet other expatriates and gain a better understanding of what life is like in the country; and familiarise themselves with the healthcare and pension systems. It is also important to understand that the cost of living in Afghanistan is very low, and that expatriates may need to bring medicines and other supplies with them. Finally, expatriates should be aware that Afghanistan is an Islamic country and that public displays of affection are considered haram and strictly prohibited," said a member in Afghanistan.
