best places for expats to live

The greater the world becomes globalised, the easier it has been for people to move abroad for work. And whether it’s for a better quality of life or for greater earning power, becoming an expat can offer a solution to your personal aspirations that being at home can’t provide.

InterNations, the world’s largest expat networking group, released its benchmark Expat Insider 2019 report revealing where the best places are in the world to live as an expat.

An expat is defined as an employee sent abroad on a corporate assignment or classed as a new international hire. This will also mean that the experiences of that certain demographic could significantly differ from a local — especially being away on corporate assignment can entail bonuses, such as relocation stipends for example.

The Expat Insider 2019 report was conducted by InterNations and surveyed 20,259 expats, representing 182 nationalities, living in 187 countries or territories. The survey ran from 7 to 28 March. Respondents were asked to score 48 different factors — which fall into 17 subcategories — related to living abroad. Those 17 subcategories are then put into five pillars — Quality of Life, Ease of Settling In, Working Abroad, Family Life, and Personal Finance.

For a place to be ranked, there needs to be a sample size of at least 75 survey participants per destination. The only exception to this rule is the Family Life Index, where a sample size of at least 40 respondents raising children abroad is necessary.

For 2019, 64 destinations, respectively, met these requirements, although for many countries or territories the sample size exceeded by 75 or even 100 participants.

Here are the top 10 countries in the world to live in as an expat:

Izzix, you are leaving us in suspense! What are those ten countries? Could the top three be Taiwan, Vietnam and Portugal?

Yes, but how could izzix be so cruel? He provided us with the full contents of the article but omitted the most important part. Anyway, I saw this on Thai Visa yesterday.

If you have noted posts from Izzix over the years on both forums, you will know this is a typical Izzix post. But, at least he provides a source these days something he failed to do in the past. 555

The most important part I assume is which is the best and the number 1 is Taiwan
"Taiwan came out on top for impressive scores across nearly every factor." from the article if you read it.

If you are Trolling that is not a recognized habit (bad bad bad) but if you have a specific question by all means ask away

Oh dear!
An expat is defined as an employee sent abroad on a corporate assignment or classed as a new international hire.
Would seem to count most of us out.

:(
Unfortunately, Taiwan does not offer a retirement visa in the same form as those offered by Thailand and Malaysia. Foreigners visiting Taiwan for a long period are able to apply for a number of non-retirement visas for work and education, but a dedicated retirement visa is currently unavailable.

Can't be bothered looking at the other 9, as this is probably the 100th thread on this subject in the time I have been a member.

LYM enjoys a good trolling post as much as any bloke. His speciality is trolling Yartims.
