The Best & Worst Places for Expats in 2022 (Part 1)
01 In the top destinations of 2022, expats* especially appreciate the ease of settling in and
02 their finances. The same cannot be said about the bottom 3, which include some surprises.
03 Among the most interesting findings are #1 Mexico delights with more than just its food; expats
04 in #2 Indonesia face few struggles when it comes to housing; and #3 Taiwan can’t be beaten
05 when it comes to healthcare. On the other hand, while their results vary, #52 Kuwait, #51 New

13 While 64% of expats found it easy to get a visa in order to move to Mexico (vs. 56%
14 globally), 53% struggle with the local bureaucracy (vs. 39% globally). Mexico performs worst,
15 but still well, in the Working Abroad (17th) and Quality of Life (24th) Indices. Expats love, for
16 example, the culinary variety and dining options (92% vs. 77% globally) and the natural
17 environment (90% vs. 83% globally), but they are unhappy with the local air quality (36% vs.
18 19% globally). Overall, 91% of expats are happy with their life in Mexico.
