It was a relief to realize that there are more expat families settling in Chad and to have someone to discuss 'culture shock' with.
Welcome to the InterNations Community of Expats in Chad!

"What is the exchange rate like in Chad?", "do I need to consider any medical checks prior to going" or "should I have any concerns about my security?" might be questions at the forefront of your mind during a move to Chad.

Learn about Expat Life in Chad
Chad is a geographically vast country in the central-northern region of the African continent. The north is mostly made up of the Sahara Desert but there is also wildlife for expats to enjoy, including at the Zakouma National Park. Expats in Chad often work for NGOs and other international organizations, and many report that goods such as fast food or Western-style casual clothing are not readily available, unsurprisingly increasing the need for sharing and solidarity among the international community! Nevertheless, Chad's people are noted for their hospitable nature, and you should have no problem settling down and feeling welcome in this African country.
InterNations is the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities around the world. Meet fellow global minds in your city of residence or get to know local expatriates before you're moving or traveling abroad and never feel like a stranger. InterNations makes it easy for you to stay in touch with your expat friends, both online and offline, so you can grow your network of friends and contacts from all over the world. Whether they live in Canada or Thailand, InterNations allows you to be close to them even if they are miles away.
Your Social Network for Expatriates in Chad
Chad is one of many African nations for which some find it difficult to find online information about, making the support and advice of the InterNations expat community even more important when moving to the country. There will be plenty of expats that can share their prior experiences of leaving their homeland for a job or loved one. We promote a policy of polite and courteous conduct among all our member in order to assure a positive member experience. Through the InterNations community you can canvass the opinions of other expats with experience of relocating to this ethnically diverse nation, and will have the chance to make new friends. This sense of unity is the reason why our communities in Africa have grown to become some of our strongest ones, and we invite you to join them.

Moving to Chad as an expat spouse did made me worry. But through InterNations, I got to know other expat women here in town. Thanks!
