Cost of living
In particular, the relatively low cost of living is helping Pakistan to become an increasingly attractive destination for potential expatriates. The prices are much more moderate than is usual in Central and Western Europe.
This allows expats in Pakistan to maintain a relatively luxurious lifestyle without having to spend huge sums of money. Thus, one can live in Pakistan with moderate savings and enjoy the many benefits of the country, without having to work on the side.
Property
Expats who want to live in Pakistan can either rent an apartment or a house or simply buy a property. Of course, when moving to Pakistan, you first have to decide which city you want to live in. The cities of Islamabad, Karatchi and Lahore, represent the most popular among expats from around the world.
Karatchi is highly recommended, as the cost of living, in relation to the other two cities, is particularly moderate. Islamabad is definitely the most expensive of the three options, with Lahore being in between.
In general, the price of rent, as well as the price of buying a property, is significantly lower than is true in Switzerland. Expats will find plenty of options as well as affordable prices.

Working in Pakistan
Expats, who not only want to move to Pakistan but also want to work in this beautiful country, are advised to seek out opportunities for international companies, before they arrive.
English teachers can find employment fairly easy in Pakistan, as the language, as everywhere in the world, is an important skill. Therefore, there is a high demand for professional and native English teachers.
Furthermore, there are many interesting positions in the food, pharmaceutical and construction sectors. Pakistan also offers plenty of career opportunities in many other areas.
Language
Although English is relatively widespread in Pakistan, Urdu is the official language of the country, which should be learned if one decides to move to Pakistan. This is because language skills in the national language simply opens up more opportunities, in all areas of life.
In general, it can be said that you can get by with just English relatively well. But, if you want to immerse yourself in the culture, to socialise and to participate in everyday life, you will need to be able to communicate in the main language of the country, at least to a moderate level.
