New members of the Kyrgyzstan forum, introduce yourselves here - 2020

Hi! I'm look at moving to Kyrgyzstan with my partner after the sale of our business in the uk, looking at staying for 6 months to a year, we will be bringing our chihuahua also.

Would love any info on best places to live (thinking Bishkek)?
Any info on taking a dog in in terms of entry requirements, have seen pets allowed in many apartment listings & seem to be lots of parks so seems good for dogs

I would also be interested in potentially teaching English, was wondering about opportunities for this & what wages are for expat English teachers.

And most importantly visas, I've seen 60 days no visa but what if we want to stay for up to a year?
Borders are open for us to visit now but what impact had/has covid on life currently?

I appreciate any info thank you in advance! X
