Post new topic

Hi everybody,

It would be very useful to talk about the cost of living in the Cape Verde.

Don't forget to mention where in the Cape Verde you are living.

How much does it cost to live in the Cape Verde?

> accommodation prices

> public transportation fares (tube, bus etc ...)

> food prices(per month, how much does it cost you?)

> health prices (for those who need medical insurance)

> eduction prices (if you need to pay)

> energy prices (oil, electricity)

> common bills (Internet, television, telephone, mobile phone)

> prices of a good menu in a traditional restaurant

> prices of a beer and or a coffee in a regular pub

> price of the cinema

Do not hesitate to add items to this list!

Thanks in advance for your participation!!

Hello,

since im looking for a possible expat to CV, maybe soon i will be able to provide a quick input on this issue.
Very commom to find a "cost of living" blogs websites on multiple locations, too bad there isnt one towards CV.

If one speaks spanish, you can have a quick expats feedbacks from youtube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VnlVHLmW5E - since there are a few TV broadcasts that have covered the expats experience in CV ( spanish and portugueses living there ).

Hope to write back with info !

cheers

despite low gdp..etc living in cv as ex pat is quite exspensive,you will find the money goes no where,and what you do buy is invariably low quality,rejects from europe maybe or chinese lowest grade ..looking any list of cost of living will not live up to the reality on the ground! dm

Any input to provide ?
Looks like very general remarks with no real insights. Someone more friendly will come along !
