What do I need to know before retiring in Iasi?

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

"Expect bureaucracy at every turn! Romanians love to make themselves feel important by holding their ink stamps and having you come back for something 5 times, mostly because they're just too lazy to get off their rears and do their jobs. It's never their fault, it's yours and you're disturbing them that you should even expect them to do something faster than 3 months time. Be prepared to have your patience pressed to its limits, and then some," said another expat in Iasi, Romania.

"Before retiring in Lasi, it is important to research potential housing options and the cost of living. It is also recommended to learn about the healthcare system, the language spoken, and local customs. Additionally, it is essential to take into account the taxation laws and the pension plans offered. It is also useful to understand the regulations around obtaining a residency card and applying for a visa. Furthermore, it is beneficial to learn about the social customs and the job market. Lastly, investigate the climate to ensure it is suitable for your lifestyle," wrote a member who made the move to Lasi, Romania.
