The Best Places To Live In The World, Rated By Expats

What are the best countries to live in right now? Ask the people who’ve moved abroad: expats. Each year, InterNations, the world’s largest expat community, publishes its Expat Insider report, one of the most comprehensive studies on life overseas. I’ve been covering the Expat Insider report since 2018.

The 2025 edition draws on feedback from more than 10,000 expats representing 172 nationalities, offering a unique window into the best places to live for work, lifestyle and affordability.

This year’s report ranks 46 countries by looking at factors like quality of life, ease of settling in, working abroad, personal finance and the Expat Essentials Index (which covers housing, administration, language and digital life). This year’s report ranks 46 countries, down from 53 in 2024, since only destinations with at least 50 survey responses are included.
