Taiwan No. 1 spot for expats living abroad: 2019 Expat Insider Survey

Taiwan reclaims 2016 rank as best place to live for expats.

Taiwan has once again reclaimed its No. 1 rank as the best place to live according to expats, up from 2nd place in last year’s Expat Insider 2019 Survey.

The last time Taiwan took the top spot in the survey, which analyzes quality of life abroad, was in 2016, the first year it was included. Since then it has maintained a spot in the top 5 every year.

Coming in just behind Taiwan is regional neighbor Vietnam, indicating the Southeast Asian country as an increasingly attractive destination for people resettling abroad. The third spot in the survey went to Portugal, which has consistently scored well with expats living there.

According to Expat Insider, around 86 % of expats surveyed in Taiwan have a positive view of their life here. According to respondents, major draws to the country are the friendliness of its people, its affordable cost of living, and its healthcare.

The top ten list for 2019 is as follows.

1. Taiwan
2. Vietnam
3. Portugal
4. Mexico
5. Spain
6. Singapore
7. Bahrain
8. Ecuador
9. Malaysia
10. The Czech Republic

With respondents living in 182 countries or territories, the Expat Insider survey consists of several indices: quality of life, ease of settling in, working abroad, personal finance, cost of living, and family life. Taiwan scored high marks in all categories.

Taiwan ranked third overall on the quality of life index, behind only the Iberian countries of Portugal (No. 1) and Spain (No. 2). Taiwan’s highest marks in the quality of life sub-indices were in travel and transportation, health and well being, and personal happiness.

Out of all the countries surveyed for ease of settling in, Taiwan ranked at No. 14. On the sub-indices for the category, Taiwan ranked as the No. 4 friendliest country for expats after Oman, Mexico, and Portugal. Taiwan also ranked highly in the feeling at home index and the finding friends index, but not as high on the language index (No. 38 ).

Affordable and universal healthcare. Low cost of living. Friendly neighbors. Delicious food. Do these qualities remind you of a place? Taiwan!

Earlier this year, Taiwan was ranked the happiest country in East Asia. It is now also the best destination for expat, according to the 2019 Expat Insider survey.

In its sixth year, Expat Insider is a survey conducted by InterNations, the world’s largest expat community with 3.6 million members. With over 20,000 respondents, this year's survey has gathered extensive insights into people living and working abroad in 64 destinations.

Taiwan is named the best country for expats thanks to a high quality of life, good personal finances, and great working life, according to the survey. It is rated best in the world for the affordability of healthcare, with 89 % of respondents satisfied with this factor (versus 55 % globally). In addition to the logistical aspects of life, 88 % of expats find that Taiwanese locals are generally friendly.
