Popular Destinations for US Expats
Singapore
Asia
Asia's safest, most polished expat hub — English-speaking, world-class healthcare, but top-10 global costs and work-or-wealth visas only.
New Zealand
Oceania
The world's second most peaceful country offers Americans an English-speaking, Level 1-safety lifestyle with free public hospital care — at Pacific-remote distances and Auckland-level prices.
Japan
Asia
World-class safety and healthcare with costs 30% below the US — but expect a work-based visa system with no retirement route and very limited English.
Ireland
Europe
The EU's only English-speaking country, ranked the world's 2nd most peaceful, with record American arrivals — but expensive housing and a strained public health system.
Qatar
Middle East
A tax-free Gulf state with world-class safety, top-20 healthcare, and an 88% expat population — but residency runs through employers or property, and a 2026 Level 3 US advisory looms over relocation plans.
Canada
North America
America's next-door option: English-speaking, safer than the US (GPI #14), universal healthcare, and ~11% cheaper living — with CUSMA work permits making the move unusually easy for professionals.
