Living Costs in
Goa
To settle down in
Goa
for part of the year will cost $735 per month
for basic expenses.
We say part of the year because no one sticks
around during the summer monsoon season.
Take advantage of those months to visit
relatives abroad, or travel around
Asia
. Besides,
you’ll need to
leave to renew your visa every six months, via a
quick trip to Sri Lanka, Nepal, Thailand, Oman,
Bahrain, Pakistan, wherever.
Naturally those travel costs are extra.
We estimate $300 rent for a serviced apartment off
the beach; a bit less if you live in a guest
house.
We advise that foreigners refrain from buying real
property in
Goa
, at least for now, because of political and
legal problems in getting and keeping clean title. We show rental calculations only.
All figures based on our experience in
Colva
Beach
in
Goa
, but you’ll find most other
Goan beaches cost more or less the same.
