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

"Before retiring in Venezuela, expats should be aware of the current political and economic situation in the country. It is important to research the cost of living and the availability of goods and services in the area they plan to live in. Expats should also be aware of the crime rate in Venezuela and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety. Additionally, expats should familiarize themselves with the local culture and customs to ensure a smooth transition into their new home. Lastly, expats should make sure to obtain the necessary visas and permits to legally reside in Venezuela," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Venezuela.

"Im English and have lived in Isla Margarita Venezuela for 15 years. Very happy here. My doctor recommended the island as having one of the best year round climates in the world. I'm 78 now, and fitter, swim in the sea every morning before breakfast. In Porlamar, the mayor has cut down crime and is relatively safe compared to English cities. Plenty in the supermarkets. Prices of imported goods tend to be higher but that's your choice. It's well worth coming to rent an apartment for a month or two and see how you feel .. I teach English here and online.. I miss the cultural side, but my health and well being is more important.. July elections coming up...... see what happens there," commented one expat who made the move to Porlamar, Venezuela.
