What do I need to know before retiring in Singapore?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Singapore, they said...
"Before retiring in Singapore, expats should be aware of the cost of living, which is generally higher than in many other countries. They should also research the different types of visas available and the requirements for obtaining them. Additionally, expats should familiarize themselves with the local culture and customs, as well as the language, to ensure a smooth transition. It is also important to understand the healthcare system and the availability of medical services in Singapore. Finally, expats should research the different types of retirement options available, such as private retirement accounts, to ensure they are making the most of their retirement," said a member in Singapore.
