The cost of living in Pakistan is generally considered moderate. It varies depending on the city and region, with urban areas typically being more expensive than rural areas. Basic goods and services are quite affordable, but imported items and luxury goods can be costly

Pakistan experiences a variety of climates ranging from tropical in the south to temperate in the central region and continental in the north. The coastal areas are warm and humid, while the central plains can be extremely hot in summer and cool in winter. The northern areas have cold winters with heavy snowfall and relatively cool summers.

The educational system in Pakistan is overseen by the Ministry of Education and is divided into five levels: primary (grades one through five), middle (grades six through eight), high (grades nine and ten, leading to the Secondary School Certificate), intermediate (grades eleven and twelve, leading to a Higher Secondary School Certificate), and university programs leading to undergraduate and graduate degrees. Education is compulsory for children between the ages of five and sixteen. The academic year typically starts in March or April and ends in October, with exams conducted at the end of each term. Private and public schools exist, with the private schools generally offering higher quality education but at a higher cost. The medium of instruction varies; it can be English or Urdu, with English often associated with higher quality education. The curriculum includes a combination of compulsory subjects like English, Urdu, Mathematics, and Science, as well as elective subjects in higher grades. The quality of education can vary significantly depending on the region, the type of school, and the resources available.

The healthcare system in Pakistan comprises both public and private sectors. The public healthcare system is underfunded and faces challenges such as a shortage of medical staff, inadequate facilities, and limited resources, which often results in long waiting times and variable quality of care. Despite these challenges, public healthcare is free at the point of delivery for Pakistani citizens. The private healthcare sector, on the other hand, offers better facilities and quality of care but at a higher cost, making it less accessible to the lower-income population. Private hospitals and clinics are mostly concentrated in urban areas. Expats and digital nomads can access public healthcare, but many opt for private healthcare due to higher standards and shorter waiting times. It is advisable for expats and digital nomads to have private health insurance to cover the costs of private healthcare.
