2025: The Most and Least Affordable Nations for Expats

An annual survey by InterNations asked expats around the world where their money goes the furthest.

The survey found that Vietnam is the most affordable country, thanks to low housing and food costs.

Following are Colombia, Panama, China, and Thailand.

Conversely, Canada is the least affordable due to high housing costs and taxes.

The United Kingdom, Norway, and Ireland are also among the most expensive.

These rankings reflect the cost of housing, everyday expenses, and overall quality of life for expats.
