    Hi,

    We are interested by your feedback on the cost of living in Turkmenistan. With Easy Expat we have already a useful tool to compare the cost of living in some major cities in the world.

    However we do not cover all the countries, nor all the destination where you can eventually decide to expatriate.

    If you live in Turkmenistan, you can help the community and give information about the cost of living in Turkmenistan. You might be able to give indication and comments on the needs:
    :arrow: Food (what to expect, what to find).
    :arrow: Accommodation price in Turkmenistan. Rent?
    :arrow: Transport (public transport but also the necessity and cost of using a car)
    :arrow: Services (gaz, electricity, telephone, internet...)
    :arrow: Tax
    :arrow: Health, Education
    :arrow: Entertainment (restaurant, cinema, theatre...)
    :arrow: ... etc.

    Thanks in advance for sharing your experience with the community :cool:

    Turkmenistan/ashgabat city/cost of lliving
    food is not expensive, approx. 100$-150$/month should be enough.
    Renting a 2 room flat in the city center would cost approx.200$/moth.
    !!!gas, water and electricity is free.!!!
    taxi: costs approx. 1$-2$ to travel anywhere inside the city.
    Buses: people pay only when they get off the bus - 0.20$.
    Driving: petrolium is very cheap - 0.22$/litre.
    Taxes: low. My friend who does trading, pays only 0.2% of his income/annum.
    There are lots of restaurants, cafes, bars, pubs, but most of them close by 11p.m.
    In total a very low cost of living and beautiful city.
