- Burkina Faso, under the leadership of Captain Ibrahim Traoré, has been experiencing a period of renewed optimism and progress, drawing attention from around the world. The positive changes and development initiatives spearheaded by Traoré have sparked interest among many who are eager to visit the country and explore its potential for investment. Whether you're a tourist, an entrepreneur, or an expatriate, understanding what it takes to visit and what it costs to live in Burkina Faso is essential. From visa requirements and travel preparations to housing, food, and daily expenses, this guide provides a comprehensive overview of what you need to know before making the journey to this vibrant West African nation. As Burkina Faso continues to evolve, it offers unique opportunities for those looking to experience its rich culture, contribute to its growth, and potentially establish a foothold in its promising future. However, before traveling to Burkina Faso, most visitors will need to obtain a visa. The process is generally straightforward but can vary depending on your country of origin. With all that noted, let’s now start with the cost of housing.
Housing costs in Burkina Faso vary significantly depending on the location and type of accommodation. In urban centers like Ouagadougou and Bobo-Dioulasso, rent for a one-bedroom apartment ranges from $150 to $350 per month, while a three-bedroom apartment can cost between $300 and $800. Outside city centers, housing is more affordable, with one-bedroom apartments available for $80 to $200 per month and three-bedroom apartments for $200 to $500. Utilities, including electricity, water, gas, and garbage collection, typically add an additional $50 to $150 to monthly expenses. Overall, housing represents a significant portion of the cost of living, particularly for those residing in urban areas.

Lol
This is why I am saving and moving to Africa. America got too much problems. I will be tax-free.
Unless you invest in Africa, you will not be able to live in Africa with just modest savings. It is easier now to get your citizenship in several countries in Africa. You will also need to adjust your living standard overwise your savings will vanish in a decade or less.
I am from Burkina Faso.
are you a western? because that’s what I’m picking up on with all the negativity. Your intentions seems very disingenuous and crafty
I would love to move there ❤
Unless you invest or work in Burkina Faso your money will vanish quickly if you want to keep a western standard of living. Housing and energy are expensive here. I live with $1200 a month and my lifestyle is simple. For someone who used to save $4000 a month in the USA I feel broke.
Y r you being so negative@@GrandSolarEclipse
@@wis... I am from Burkina Faso. I am just letting you know that life is tough here. Just because we are moving in the right direction doesn't mean life is good over here. Also my reply took into consideration people who live in a western country who are planning on coming to Burkina Faso. This year the state of Burkina hired 5000 new government employees. Over 2 million and 5000 people applied. This means that 2 million people seeking jobs will not find any. It is the same story year after year this is why the president is striving to industrialize Burkina Faso.
If you have specific questions I will be happy to provide answers. Where are you from?
in the future, yes not right now l still wait and collect more money
@@GrandSolarEclipse why are you on here discouraging people from moving to Africa, if it’s not for you, then it’s not for you. This is your second comment discouraging people who desire a better qualified of life.
Burkina faso will look similar to dubai if not much better within the next ten years.Niger,mali and senegal will follow.To my beloved brothers and sisters of Alkebulan,it is time we invest invest invest back home
I wish you were right. I am from Burkina Faso. It will take us longer than that. There is a lot of work to do, starting with changing our mentalities. The countries of Niger and Mali will be far better off than Burkina due to the abundance of their natural resources.
are you a western? because that’s what I’m picking up on with all the negativity.
Uprising in de making fe real👍🏾👊🏾👊🏾
Many of us have the desire to move to this country due to its good leadership
Thanks you Traore that is what Africa need
I will be moving there in future
You need to visit first before you think of moving to a french speaking country
@@GrandSolarEclipse Why is that?
@@lionrulethejunglewithoutfe3207because they are know for trying to discourage us from improving our living conditions, but they be trying to flock over their like flies.
I guess my comment was facts, because utube or the channel removed it. No foul language, no hate words just clean freedom of speech and my opinion.
Why not tomorrow
Great video, thanks for sharing it
This is where I plan on moving to now that I have finished college, I plan on waiting until after the election because I'm helping with that. But after that is done I would like to move there and work for either the U.S. government or the country government in health, education, and housing.
Jobs don't pay well in my country. Most medical doctors are paid around $1000/month. It is simply not enough if you live in a western country. I recommend that you bring a special skill and get involved in Business. By the way if you don't speak french you will not enjoy being here.
@@GrandSolarEclipse Why if you dont speak French I ill not enjoy being there?
Great job Burkina
MARCUS GARVEY 😊
that was from elite, dont count
Love it and I share it with friends and family
Viva Ibrahim Traore
Giiiii daaayyyuummm !!! This is how much America used to cost. Fck it - I'm getting my passport and visa and moving to Africa.
Fantastic please do more vids, on tourism, real estate starting business where are the gaps, what incentives for business.
I was lovely to see inside your country
Looks like, Zimbabwe
So beautiful
The continent is so similar.
Look forward to more
Noted!
The right move to promote Africa.
I would love to come and establish there as Burkina Faso seem promising for African emancipation
But Traore pls do have a review on the Cost of living as it seems a little bit on the high side at the moment and would have a spill over on businesses
I am from Burkina Faso, I do not recommend that you come here if you plan on working. You need a special skill and you need to think about establishing a business. Most jobs don't pay a decent living wage.
are you a western? because that’s what I’m picking up on with all the negativity.
We're building the railway, I'm on the move please do your part🔋😊
Hopefully Burkina Faso joins the BRICS and unites with the Global South.
I would love to move to Africa. Burkina Faso sounds good. I would Love to visit for a couple of weeks.
Or maybe a month to really check as much out as possible.
leave some links to property and land sites to invest, if you got it ppls share the knowledge and support!
I am from Burkina Faso. You need a lot of money if you plan on investing in real estate. The prices have skyrocketed in the past 20 years. I own 3 properties evaluated at $220.000 and it only generates. $1100 monthly.
What Burkina needs are special skills that the country lacks. The business environment could be harsh if all you are bringing is money.
@@GrandSolarEclipse What are the special skills that are lacking in Burkina Faso?
@@lionrulethejunglewithoutfe3207
1- Heavy equipment mechanics
2- Medical equipment repair technicians
3- Large infrastructure engineer ( roads, stadiums etc...)
4- Mining engineers
5- Recycling ( metals, plastic and tires) . We barely know how to melt metals in small scale.
6- We import 90% of the fish we consume
7- 80% of the soap is imported
8- 100% of paper/ toilet paper is imported
9- Although we are a large producer of cotton only a small percentage is transformed locally. Even cotton swabs, tampons and medical grade cotton are imported.
10- Due to lack of banking protection a lot of people resort to third parties to order goods. Meaning you can do business in Burkina from a country with banking protection.
Almost everything here is imported, so if you have the skills and the finances to start a business you can fill the void.
@@lionrulethejunglewithoutfe3207
If you know how to work on heavy industrial equipment you will be at the right place.
If you know how to fix medical equipment like scanners you will be the only one.
If you can farm fish on a large scale you will own the market because we import 90% of the fish we eat
If you can recycle metals and plastic you might be able to get a government grant to set up your factory. We still export scrap metals.
Most of the stuff we buy from stores are imported so if you have any skills to turn raw materials into finished product you will be king
We are a major cotton producer but we export over 90% of it.
@@GrandSolarEclipseyou are all over this comment board, are you a western? because that’s what I’m picking up on with all the negativity.
I will go there if i get the chance to do so.
I feel cheated investing in Ghana and not Burkina Faso 😞. We salute you AES and a special salute 🫡 to the soldiers in the AES that have lost their lives to make these freedoms possible.
Are you a russian troll factory operative
Does black diaspora like Jamaica need to have visa too
Visa is cheap and easy to obtain
No! He just opened it up for AA’s,
Not just Jamaica, all blacks diaspora worldwide.
Tuition for school, you said 'per year '🤔 primary and secondary?
it seems like now they are rebuilding Burkina Faso
The devaluation of our naira has made everything here look expensive
💞🙏🏾🌹
What about if you want to purchase land?
🔥💣🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Where is this data from? Could we get a transcript of how these prices were compiled and from what regions.
As a hungarian the cost of living in Burkina Faso looks very high ngl.
Really?
Blood of Jesus Christ, incubate Ibrahim Traore in Jesus Christs name Amen
Amen
You have not mentioned income ranges.
Income can range from $300 to $1200.
A primary school teacher earns around $400 to $600. A medical doctor earns between $800 to $1200. This is why there is a lot of corruption as people try to find ways to earn extra income. To survive here you need a business or some investment.
are you a western? because that’s what I’m picking up on with all the negativity. Your intentions seems very disingenuous and crafty
I'm Jamaican
My middle name is Sankara I took this name because of the love for the country many years ago hope you understand.
@@shawday7911 I am not a westerner. Just that there is a lot of work to do. The integration will not be easy for planning to settle here. I recommend being financially stable with multiple sources of income to make it.

Is 88000,- XOF a good monthly incom in Burkina?
No . That is not enough in Burkina.
A 2 bedroom costs between 80.000 to 100.000xof .most people ride a motorcycle to save money on fuel.
Any questions?
@@GrandSolarEclipse
:) So in Burkina I would be even more poor then I am in Denmark with 10K dkk.
PS: Thank you for giving a answer to my question!
@@sirnoobalot2632 Did you make a mistake when you typed 88.000 XOF?
If you want to keep your western standard of living you will need about $3000 monthly income. If you want to live like the majority of people in Burkina you will do Ok with $700 a month.
A one bedroom apartment rents for 50.000 XOF. A plate of rice or spaghetti is around 1000 XOF
If you don't want to run an AC unit your electric bill could be around 10.000 XOF. Water bill around 6000XOF
A beer cost 700 XOF A 1L bottle a Jonny Walker is 10.000 XOF a bottle of wine between 3500 XOF and 7000XOF. If you have a car and with moderate driving it will cost 120.000 for fuel . 1L of gas cost 850 XOF
My average income is 600.000 XOF . For someone who used to save $4000 in the USA let me tell you that you will need a business in order to survive here. Most government jobs don't pay well here. A primary school teacher earns around 250.000 XOF a medical doctor earns around 450 to 500.000 XOF
