The list is conducted by Panama. So, Costa Rica, Mexico, Ecuador, Malaysia, Colombia, Portugal, Peru, Thailand and Spain.

It is in these countries that the advantages that a certain place can offer to the inhabitants of developed countries having a good purchasing power and being able to leave the country are taken into account.

"The currency is the dollar, the taxes are low and there is a large community of English-speaking people, including excellent doctors," the report says.

In Panama, you can rent an apartment with sea views for around 1500 dollars a month. In addition, the country has a program for local and foreign retirees that offers a long list of discounts, ranging from medical fees to airline tickets.

"In Mexico, the cost of living is notoriously low"According to Don Murray, American correspondent of International Living on Riviera Maya, who lives in Cancún since 2014 with his wife.

However, in Mexico, unlike Panama and Costa Rica, security and corruption are two major problems that keep many expatriates away from the idea of ​​moving to this destination.

But being such a vast country, there are clearly "protected" areas for tourists and expatriates, which differ considerably from the reality the world faces.
