What do I need to know before moving to Ivory Coast?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Ivory Coast, they said:
"Before moving to Ivory Coast, expats should be aware of the country's tropical climate and the potential for extreme weather conditions. Expats should also be aware of the language barrier, as French is the official language of Ivory Coast. It is also important to research the local customs and culture, as well as the cost of living in the country. Additionally, expats should ensure that they have the necessary visas and permits to live and work in Ivory Coast. Finally, expats should make sure to have adequate health insurance coverage in case of any medical emergencies," said one expat who made the move to Ivory Coast.
