Panama just clinched the top spot, again, as the best country for expats to live in, according to the 2025 InterNations Expat Insider report.
With 94% of expats loving life there, it’s the sunny mix of affordability, infrastructure, and friendliness that wins hearts.
Colombia and Mexico also shine, taking second and third, thanks to sociable cultures and good cost of living.
Meanwhile, the U.S. slipped to 36th, weighed down by healthcare, safety, and work-life balance issues.
Wealthy countries like Germany and the UK aren’t impressing either.
This year’s big lesson? Affordability and community matter more than ever when choosing where to call home.
My Take…
China in #6 spot, seriously!!!
Colombia to date wins the race for me. It might have a few issues right now with the socialist Government, but that will pass.
People, culture, and cost of living make Colombia highly desirable!
