- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- A growing number of pensioners have opted to leave their native countries to retire abroad, and the demand for international retirement is only expected to rise in the coming years. Each year we do an update on the best countries for Retirement in the world. Main aspects like Visa polices, Quality of life, Cost of living, Climate, Housing and Healthcare system play a crucial role in the rankings of these countries. Collectively almost all of these countries are already well renowned among retirees, as most of these countries repeatedly make into the list. But our ranking is going to be slightly different, as we are also going to factor in things like Safety index, crime rates as well as Tax incentives for pensioners.
So here are 15 Best Countries for Retirement in 2024.

Have friends that worked in Columbia .. they loved it
Go for it
high crime

High crime areas like anywhere
@@wallybingbang4350 Some are 7 times as bad as another
Thanks!
Malaysia is extremely underrated in many ways especially the capital of Kuala Lumpur. I felt safe, people were super nice to me and limitless options of food.
No thanks, Muslim law
Ignorance remains our greatest adversary. Despite living in an age characterized by advanced information and communication technologies, we consistently neglect to conduct even the most basic research. While Malaysia is a nation composed of diverse religions, each with its own set of laws, coexistence has not proven to be a significant issue there, nor in neighboring countries like Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand. This assertion is based on personal experience. We in the western hemisphere tend in many cases to paint everything with the same color because we simply don't know!
I loved Malaysia, I ranked it up there with Bangkok. It fits in between Singapore and Bangkok quite nicely.
@jonasm9096 Except they don’t like gays or Jews
@@magentamagenta1274 I am half Jewish from father's side. I feel you are making up stuff, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, there you have all the mishmash of religions living side by side and all orientations I have been there many times so I know for fact. Ignorance is our worst enemy 😞
I cant believe no one rates Thailand. You can live right on the beach in a city like Jomtien, living on a pension. Great cheap food and accomodation, and the best cheap nightlife in the world. You people have no idea.
High crime rate
@@glenw-xm5zf Actually Thailand's 'global peace index' is better than France's for instance. It's actually rather safe, even in Bangkok or Chiang mai. And you can live a good life there for about US$1,500/month.
Please don’t go to Thailand,it getting crowded for us just go to Italy Portugal..
😂
@@sergemimoun1732 Thanks for that. ;-)
@@khalidiraqui9205 I love Italy, and Portugal too, but not the same cost of living, unfortunately!
I’m moving to Lubriano, Italy. Can’t wait!!
Good luck pretty u will be bored
@@darren2484I sure hope so!
Be careful of the thieves. They are the most rampant there
Congrats! Keep us posted. I want to move to Italy badly!
@@TiffanyT-LaDolceVitaDon’t wait Tiffany! I’m 62, 63 in September and it’s a lot more difficult at this stage. I moved from NJ to California at 19, joined the Navy at 27 starting Uber each time. This is a big one. But I ain’t dead yet is my motto! If you want to do it, see it, plan it and do it. ❤
Dont go to muslim countries. Spain and Portugal are not interesting anymore. Too expensive.
Why not go to Muslim countries? Morocco is amazing.
Philippines is a third world country. Smiles everywhere with warm hospitality. Give them an inch and they give you miles..
Philippines / 굉장히 위험한 나라입니다.
@@Santiago-sb3lx Philippines is not dangerous. Of course if you live on a slum places you have to be careful of snatcher but foreigners don’t live on those places they will live in a better places because they can. Philippines is more safer than the other countries right now.
If it's so good there then why do so many phillipinos work all over the world and not at home?
@@wallyjansen898because the minimum wages of the lower class is not enough to raise families
Filipinos are family oriented happy people and will work where they can and return money to home .
Why would you ever decide to re-locatecto a nation where you have no idea of the language??...
Thailand not on the list?
Incredible!
I find this surprising too
I'm especially interested in countries like Portugal with its warm climate and excellent healthcare system. Thank you for your thorough analysis and insight.
Expensive and overated
I watched a video yesterday that said they do get cold rainy weather and the lodging isn't designed for it.
@darren2484 Very affordable in the midlands and amazing opportunities to buy and restore a home in some of the xisto stone house villages whilst enjoying access to its many historic sites and river beaches.
@@bettymk1
It's the North Atlantic coast - of course it gets cold and wet
Excellent healthcare?
It used to be, not anymore.
Go to Greece every year on holiday. Can't beat it ❤ guaranteed sunshine.
Portugal is getting really expensive in last months. I think now it is more expensive than Spain.
Portugal is Much more expensive
That's what happens when everybody focuses on one spot too long, then it becomes too saturated with people
@@soniaschafer7483 No, we aren’t more expensive than Spain. It depends on the area of Spain versus Portugal.
Too many wealthy people, especially Americans, are moving here and causing higher housing costs. Still, it is no where near the prices in the U.S. I was born and raised in the U.S., but am Portuguese and live here. I know both countries and costs in the U.S. are astronomical and ridiculously high.
@soniaschafer7483 In Lisbon and Porto, yes but way more affordable in the midlands with lots of little abandoned xisto stone villages that can be restored.
Malaysia is a Southeast Asian country with a lot of natural beauty
Why is Italian income requirement so much???

Sud de la France of cause, that's a no brainer...

Very interesting information.
The Colombia/Venezuela border is nowhere near the Pacific.
Good to know.
Malaysia is a pretty good country to retire in, it is also very beautiful and the people are friendly. One downfall for some is the humidity and heat...
Heat and humidity is a good way to keep the pounds off lol
5:38 requirement age to retire in Mauritius is 50+, not 45. Makes one wonder what other errors are in this content.
I miss Austria, it's not reacheap but clean and the people are mostly nice. Of course you should not choose a tourist spot but somewhere rural.
im surprised cyprus wasnt on the list
Fullof russian really woukd u live there
Russians all over Thailand too
Well, Cyprus is split in two (Greece and Turkey), so which side would you suggest?
I hear the Turkish side is better and affordable
Turkish side is much nicer but the whole of Cyprus is full of English army bases and is now in a war zone. Such a shame.
Ok Gus….Spain is higher on the list than Italy! 😢
Live now Bali Indonesia ..happy here
So much scammer and criminal?
Àt Scandic Resort the cost of living is very low.
I am in Batumi, Republic of Georgia!
Hi, im from Australia and thinking to move to Gorgia hopefully next year and doing more research, any tips or recommendations?

Ohrid,Macedonia beats them all,lake with a cristal clear watter,best food,most frendly people on the earth....and the rent...150 to 250 euro per month.if Macedonian live with 500 euro per month salary,immagine what u can do with 1500 or more
Are you joking or what ???
@@dianademonte5672no joking
You must mention the race you are in or religion
No wonder, Spain & Portugal, # 3 & 1 respectively, They are virtually joined at the hip, that you can almost call it one country
Yah, a bit like the USA and Canada in that respect.
They speak different Languages
The word “expats” is a new word used only by people from USA to avoid the proper term “immigrants”
It is a paradox the immigrants’ country USA have been building an stigma around the word immigrants
All of us living in US are immigrants excluded the native Americans, the original inhabitants of this land.
Once I hear someone saying “expats” I feel sorry for them. Be proud of being an immigrant and even better, learn the language of the country you choose to live in
"Immigrant" carries the connotation of someone on the path towards citizenship in a new country.
I'm surprised, frankly, that Yanks even use the word. I think we coined it here in Britain in the 1960s. To live more affordably, we sought out destinations like the Costa del Sol ... not seeking to immigrate, but rather to live as expatriates, which got abbreviated to expats. Indeed, maximum pension benefits in some countries require spending at least 6 months per year resident in your home land. So people dependent on a government pension are not going to actually immigrate to their secondary place of residence ... they will become instead long-term visitors. Several host countries limit visas to 6 months per year. That's why you help your kids construct a garden suite or granny flat for you.
Expats is not a new word and does not just refer to those of one country.
I think you need to widen your "lens". The word expatriate comes from the Latin term ex 'out of' and the Greek term patria 'native country, fatherland'. This word has been in use for centuries and has change in means in some periods of history. My first recollection of this word being used was in Europe referring to fellow country men leaving abroad especially in Southeast Asia. It should not carry any negative connotations as it simply refers to someone voluntarily trying out a new home.
@@michaelsd2844:39
No, very common in the UK to. Does not have anuthing to do with US or UK specific its about moving abroad with the intention to get back home.
Consider Albania. Great weather, quite good health system, brilliant weather and great slow life
Panama have an amazing retirement Visa. European countries crime is increasing, and they all, have very high taxes %. Take care.
My choice is Peru.
All far too expensive for a poor retired English person on state pension
Tblisi,Georgia is supposed to be nice and cheap.
Batumi on the Black sea is even better than Tbilisi
@@lilanewark7051 Thanks for the tip! I'd prefer to be on the water.

Croatia is actually expensive since took €
I have been living in Guatemala for the past 24 years! ❤
@decklarke7572 ok u live there & what.s your opinion? U just said u live there but i don.t know what 2 believe! Should i come or should i stay?

What type of electric do these places have??
120 volt a/c??
220 volt a/c 60 cycle?? In otherwords, can i use my usa electric items in those countries??
No 240 voltages in Portugal
Colombia? I disagree
...and...
It's no longer run by drug kingpins. Were you aware?
Yes, some of these listed: I’m thinking “Nooooo.”😬
Colombia is not safe, especially if you don’t speak Spanish and have European look. Colombians are friendly, but expect to be constantly tricked and overcharged.
I am living in Medellin. Perfect weather, very close to the U.S ranked 22 in the world for health care
France is great Best medical system in the world. If you're retired and have 1400 month to live on Great!!!
Lol France has the best health system in the world?? I know that for sure is not true
@@user-neo8888 well let's bow to your superior knowlege. Who has the best State medical system go on ?
Not to Asian countries
Good. Then don't.
Your choice man
Free dom ...mod eerf
What war ?
Thailand
Mars..
❤
In Malaysia only in the state of SARAWAK, but not others.
Why people have to go to another country for retirement? Don't they like their own?
Like the UK. Cost of living is so high and getting higher a lot of pensions do not cover the food bill and housing expenses. But then if you bothered to research this you would know this common basic fact.
@@LR-sn9gt well saif...we are taxed to poverty to finance stupid causes eg invaders
and weather is so bad
america is becoming to expensive to live in once taking social security. if i retire say at 62 i would only be getting 900 usd a month not anywhere near enough to live off on.
They can't afford it 🤷🏻♀️
Serbia is bet, chep, beautiful People, manje of antiq spa , nature is Best. But People is the best
What about in Goa to retire.
Many countries offer so much. Safety in Asia is a concern. I will nor ever go to the Philippines, Vietnam, Korea,China. So many people are leaving these countries….why move there. Believe me, you stand out if you are Caucasian. Third world country lifestyle may sound exotic and exciting but safety is very important. There is a reason why they are third world status. From what I have seen, North America is the best place to live.
Cape Verde island is poor but very nice country. They should go there now that is cheap. In the future will be very expensive
They should try Cape Verde island. Poor but Very nice
I recently spent a month in Vietnam and never heard a police, ambulance, or fire siren. I felt safer in DaNang than I do in Washington DC.
Have you actually been to Philippines, Vietnam, Korea?
@@brianblamberg4413I visited Hanoi 17 years ago. It was clear that the Vietnamese economy was on the up back then.
In Tunisia you can live with 600€ a real good country
Malaysia one of the best for retire every corner is cheap even for 5* service
Russia is the best place to live !
OK but i will stay right here in Vancouver
I’m looking at France 🇫🇷💓
Bad move but good luck.
France just killed himself with this elections,,good luck
We moved to France 5 years ago and me and my partner want to move. We have a huge house here with 12 acres and horses and dogs. But it isn't very easy to make any friends etc. it's quite a morose country. Definitely not warm either.
I was too...until the 2024 Olympics. Not any more 😢😠
Middle of Europe, would never choose France or any other European country!!!!
Portugal and Spain are Very different!!!
Jail in iceland
Big lollll
Doesn't sound good
Mexico Nope , Columbia Nope , France Nope ,Italy Nope, Greece Nope, Spain Nope, Costa Ripoff nope .. Portugal, nice but played already .. Expensive
Yeah I agree. Looks like the best option is stay home and figure it out tbh. I don't see any real advantages in any of these places.
Then stay home
🛫🇲🇽🏖️
Have you been to any of these places? I find that the people that have the most negative viewpoints of other places have never been to the places they view negatively.
Colombia not columbia
I can't retire they took my pension
South Africa!!!
Extremely dangerous and racist
@@tems6 nope. Your opinion is based on the old SA. We've moved on years ago.

Malaysia good country to living.
Number one best country to retire should be Bangladesh 😊
