While physically moving abroad might be easy (depending on your passport, of course), actually feeling settled in your new home can take a while.
There could be a language barrier, or lots of bureaucracy to deal with – and that’s before you get into actually building a community of friends and regular haunts.
Thankfully, the team at expat and remote worker insurance company William Russell have crunched the numbers to work out exactly where the most welcoming countries and cities are around the globe.
“A welcoming destination is more about how easy it is to build a life once you arrive than it is about how easy it is to enter,” William Cooper, director and co-owner at William Russell, said.
“Employment access, healthcare availability, and financial stability all play a real role in whether expats feel settled within the first six to 12 months. These factors can be the difference between returning home and relocating long-term.”
