Portugal among favourite places for expats

Aug 05, 2021

According to this year’s “Expat Insider” published by InterNations, Portugal ranks 5^th on the Best Places for Expats and it is actually the only European country within the top 10. Portugal follows Taiwan, Mexico, Costa Rica and Malaysia and it is followed by New Zealand, Australia, Ecuador, Canada and Vietnam.

The Expat Insider 2021 respondents are from “a total of 174 nationalities and […] 186 countries or territories around the world”. The survey “aims to shed some light on what living and working abroad” feels like and it gathers additional information on four topical indices: Quality of Life, Ease of Settling In, Working Abroad, and Personal Finance.

What expats particularly enjoy in Portugal is its quality of life, as well as personal happiness (both on 3^rd place) and its leisure options (4^th place). Portugal “is home to some of the happiest expats worldwide: 84% are happy with their life in general, compared to a global average of 75%.”
