Hello everyone,

Why did you choose to retire in Namibia? What are the advantages compared with your home country?

What were your main considerations when deciding to move? For example, taxes, ease of transferring your pension, etc..

Are there any specific formalities you had to go through as a retiree moving to Namibia (for example, is there a particular retirement visa)?

What is Namibia's healthcare like? Have you had any good or bad experiences dealing with healthcare professionals?

Do you have any tips for other retirees in Namibia?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Priscilla

Namibia is really a beautiful country. It is reasonably safe if you take some precautions and the climate is great. The cost of living is fairly low apart from rent. Rent and hotels are too ecpensive in comparison to the income of most people. You can however build a shack for 1000 Euros or less if you have permission of the plot owner.
Ok few foreigners would use that option but it is viable.
