Welcome to the InterNations Community of Expats in Gabon!
Bonjour! Welcome to InterNations Gabon. Considering a permanent move to Gabon is an adventurous decision, and we’re sure you have many questions, such as, “how can I find accommodation in Libreville?”, “will I need vaccinations to enter Gabon?” or “what do I need to organize in terms of work permits and visas?”. Our experienced local community of expats in Gabon can offer you the answers to these questions and many more, providing you with the opportunity to enjoy Gabonese life, anxiety free; whether that's by feasting on the national dish, nyembwe, or exploring the street markets in Libreville.

Embracing Your Expat Life in Gabon
Tourists are drawn to Gabon due to its opportunity for safe travel, and by the multitudes of forests and wildlife. The crowded and bustling streets of Libreville, with its gated villas and high-end restaurants, offer a taste of class among the jungles. However, Libreville also has a thriving oil industry, and we find that it is the opportunity for economic advancement in Gabon that draws many of our expats. Whatever your reason for moving, we’re sure that Gabon will provide you with an adventurous and unforgettable experience.
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 Indonesia or Switzerland, InterNations allows you to be close to them even if they are miles away.
Begin Building Your Network of Expats in Gabon
As well as practical concerns, such as how to find a doctor in Gabon, or how to locate an English school, our new expats are often worried about what to expect culturally and socially, and how they can continue to have an active social life. InterNations hopes to meet these concerns through our network of Gabon expats. As well as being on hand to answer your questions, our Gabon expat community also hosts a variety of groups and social opportunities; there are currently activities for bowling and an Indian-themed dinner party in Libreville, and if nothing there takes your fancy, why not start your own group? InterNations offers you a great opportunity to continue your hobbies, or to develop new ones. We also host larger social events that are open to all expat members in Gabon — this is a fantastic way to network and to meet like-minded people in Gabon.

Getting insights from fellow expats also living in Gabon has really been of great help to me.
