Each year, media outlets around the world report on rankings of the best countries to live in, with local press often reacting with pride or disappointment based on their nation's placement. The latest version of the Rumavi Global Relocation Index, published by Time Out, ranks Estonia as the top country, followed by Singapore, Malaysia, Portugal, Taiwan, Lithuania, Hong Kong, Saint Kitts and Nevis, the Czech Republic, and Malta. This index is produced by Rumavi, a real estate consulting firm, and evaluates nearly 200 countries using 24 key indicators. These indicators are grouped into four main categories: finances and taxation, quality of life and health, security and stability, and relocation and professional opportunities. The report also includes specialized rankings for different groups, such as retirees, digital nomads, families, entrepreneurs, and those seeking tax benefits. Estonia's top position is largely due to its innovative e-residency program, which allows individuals to manage a European business entirely online without ever visiting the country. It also offers a digital nomad visa, one of the first of its kind in Europe. Additional strengths include a strong healthcare system, high security, and efficient bureaucratic processes. These factors contribute to Estonia's appeal for people looking to live and work abroad. In Switzerland, the media outlet Blick found the rankings "surprising," noting that Estonia, not a traditional tourist destination, took the top spot. The article highlights how Estonia's strong banking infrastructure and clear property rights for non-residents helped it succeed, despite its relatively harsh climate. Meanwhile, Switzerland ranked 24th, largely due to its cold winters and high cost of living, which can be especially challenging for retirees and digital nomads. At the bottom of the list are countries like Afghanistan, Yemen, and South Sudan, a result that many find unsurprising given the challenges they face.
