What do I need to know before retiring in Bulgaria?

"Before retiring in Bulgaria, expats should familiarize themselves with the local language, as English is not widely spoken. It is also important to research the cost of living in the area, as prices can vary significantly from city to city. Additionally, expats should be aware of the healthcare system in Bulgaria, as it is not as comprehensive as in some other countries. Furthermore, expats should research the local culture and customs, as well as the climate, to ensure they are prepared for their new home. Finally, expats should ensure they have the necessary paperwork and visas in order to legally retire in Bulgaria," remarked another expat in Bulgaria.
