What do I need to know before moving to Pakistan?

Answer this Question

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

"Before moving to Pakistan, expats should be aware of the local customs and culture. It is important to dress modestly and respect the local religious and cultural norms. Expats should also be aware of the security situation in the country and take necessary precautions. Additionally, expats should research the cost of living in the area they are moving to and make sure they have enough funds to cover their expenses. Finally, expats should make sure they have the necessary visas and permits to live and work in Pakistan," explained one expat living in Pakistan.
