Welcome to the Expat Benin Chapter!
Salut and a warm welcome to InterNations Benin! Our network for expats in Benin is tailored to your particular needs and helps you with moving to and settling in Benin. Relocating overseas to a foreign country is adventurous and also challenging now and then. For expatriates Benin a lot of questions come up such as: ʺHow good is the health care system in Benin and do I need special vaccinations?ʺ, ʺIn which district should we live when moving to Cotonou?ʺ or ʺHow about the overall safety in Porto-Novo?ʺ And many more questions…
InterNations aims to support you, as an expatriate, in getting to know the Benin expat community and discovering the Beninese way of life in all its facets, from having the traditional kuli-kuli to celebrating the Vodun public holiday on January 10.

Embark on Benin Expats Life
From the Royal Palaces at Abomey to the Afro-Brazilian Museé da Silva in the capital, Benin has much to offer to expatriates, tourists and travelers from all over the world. However, the growing expat Benin community is mainly attracted by its economic challenges, e.g. in the textile industry, and the urban development in Porto-Novo and Malanville. Expat living in Benin surely can face a challenge once in a while, but at the same time it is a wonderful intercultural experience you will never forget.
The Network for like-minded Expatriates in Benin
In our social network, you can easily get in touch with other expatriates living in Benin in a private and protected environment where trust, confidence and friendly ‘netiquette’ are essentials. You may ask other expat members from Benin’s international community about insider tips, e.g. how to obtain a work permit. Moreover, you’ll also meet your fellow expatriates in Benin in real life at our top-quality InterNations Get-Togethers – the best way for casual socializing in the capital city and other places like Cotonou or Malanville for all members of the Benin expat community.
