What do I need to know before retiring in Ethiopia?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Ethiopia, they said...
"Before retiring in Ethiopia, expats should familiarize themselves with the local language, Amharic, as it is the official language of the country. It is also important to research the cost of living in Ethiopia, as it can vary greatly depending on the city and lifestyle. Additionally, expats should be aware of the local laws and regulations, as well as the visa requirements for long-term stays. It is also important to research the healthcare system in Ethiopia, as it may not be up to the same standards as other countries. Finally, expats should be aware of the cultural norms and customs of Ethiopia, as they may be different from their home country," explained one expat living in Ethiopia.
