The InterNations website conducted this year’s survey through more than 14,000 respondents representing 174 nationalities and 191 countries and territories living, working and studying abroad on the basis of comfortableness when they settle at a country or territory, quality of life, personal finance indices, working environment and stability.
Vietnam has made the biggest jump in the 2016 survey, as in 2015 the Asian country only came in 35th place out of 64 countries.
According to the survey, expats in Vietnam are very pleased with the friendly nature of the local residents. The friendliness of the population has risen by ten percentage points from 74% to 84%.
The 2016 survey honours Taiwan as the most ideal place for expats in terms of quality of life and personal finance indices. It was followed by Malta, Ecuador, Mexico and New Zealand.
The three countries at the end of the list have kept unchanged: Kuwait, Greece and Nigeria, with Kuwait remaining steadily at the bottom for three consecutive years./.
