"When moving to Kyrgyzstan, it is important to pack warm clothing, as temperatures can drop below freezing in the winter. It is also important to bring a good supply of sunscreen and insect repellent, as the sun can be strong and the insects can be plentiful. Additionally, it is a good idea to bring a first aid kit, as medical care may not be readily available in some areas. Finally, it is important to bring a valid passport and any necessary visas or permits," remarked another expat who made the move to Kyrgyzstan.
