Team IL
“What’s the best place for me to live overseas?” It’s the most common question we get. And the answer is not a simple one. There’s no one-size-fits-all destination. After all, everyone has their own preferences and needs—budget, climate, proximity to home, healthcare accessibility…and so on.
So while we can’t prescriptively tell you exactly where you should move to, we can help to point you in the right direction, so you’ll have a smart idea about where you should be focusing your energy in your search.
Our Annual Global Retirement Index ranks and rates—across seven categories—the best countries in the world today for a comfortable, affordable, safe, and enjoyable retirement. It’s a valuable tool designed to help you compare and contrast countries—given your priorities—and begin to get a picture of the ones most worth your attention.
We do rely on statistics in putting this resource together, but understand: It’s not meant to be a scientific output. For more than 40 years, IL’s editors and correspondents have explored the world, in search of the best opportunities for living, travel, investment, and retirement. We’ve built up a network of reliable, trustworthy on-the-ground contacts who we tap annually to help us compile our Retirement Index. It means this resource is born of real-world, boots-on-the-ground input. And it provides you a reliable snapshot of what’s happening today.
This year’s Global Retirement Index winner once flew well under the radar…today, it’s one of the hottest retirement spots on earth. But we’ve been telling readers about this country for years, long before the mainstream press caught on. Our top retirement haven for 2023—a great-value European gem—offers a laidback lifestyle, a huge variety of locations, a wide choice of visa options, and benefits from the current parity between the euro and the dollar. You’ll find the details here. (And don’t miss the massive bonus report we’ve produced to go with it—the link is in your story.)
