Intro
-Finding a cheap place to live only makes sense if the quality of life is also high
-Safety is one of the most important aspects you should consider when choosing a country
-In this video, we will list the safest countries which also have a low cost of living.
-We will cover different regions including Asia, Europe and South America.
01:05 Portugal
-One of the safest countries in Western Europe
-The country with the lowest cost of living in Western Europe
-Lisbon is quite expensive, but other cities and regions are considerably cheaper.
-Low social contrast, which helps to keep crime at low levels.
-Easy to get a residence permit with low financial requirements for non-EU citizens
02:18 Taiwan
-One of the safest place in Asia, and also in the world
-The capital Taipei can be rather expensive, especially when we talk about real estate
-Other cities in the country are more affordable than Taipei, but still have a great infrastructure such as Tainan, Kaohsiung and Taichung.
-Getting a residence permit is not so easy.
-Language barrier can be an issue if you don’t speak Chinese.
-While crime is really low, you may have to worry about the eventual typhoon here and there.
03:24 Montenegro
-A safe country in Southeastern Europe.
-Also a country with one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world
-A country that is also very small, thus lacking entertainment opportunities.
-Quite easy to move to Montenegro and obtain a residence permit (work, business, property investment or retirement).
-Very affordable cost of living, but harder to find some types of products due to the country’s size.
04:41 Poland
-One of the safest large countries in Europe.
-It is also one of the most underrated countries in Europe.
-The capital Warsaw is the most expensive city, but still much more affordable than capital in neighboring countries such as Prague or Berlin.
-Other cities in Poland are even cheaper, and many of them have an excellent quality of life. Among them we can mention Krakow, Wroclaw and Gdansk.
-Poland is safer than its neighbors both to the West (Germany) as well as to the East (Belarus, Ukraine).
05:30 Georgia
-Georgia has been gaining popularity in the past years as one of the most attractive places for expats.
-Even if Georgia has a recent turbulent past and not the most stable neighbors, the country itself is extremely safe.
-Georgia ranks as well as one of the cheapest places in Europe, most notably when it comes to property prices. Services are also much more affordable than in most countries in Europe.
-Georgia ranks as one of the most open countries in terms of business and opportunities for foreigners.
06:41 Thailand
-If you want to feel safe and you have a limited budget, Thailand is the best option in Southeast Asia.
-While the capital Bangkok can be pretty chaotic and overwhelming, smaller cities in Thailand are an excellent choice both in terms of cost of living and safety.
-Thailand has some of the most optimal combinations in terms of high safety combined to a low cost of living.
-Chiang Mai is one of the best options if you want a place with a chilled atmosphere, with everything that Thailand has to offer, even if it is a touristy city.
-Scams and rip offs aimed at foreign tourists are some of the most common issues in Thailand.
08:00 Chile
-If you want to live in Latin America, Chile is the safest country in the region.
-Chile is not only the safest, but also one of the countries in the region with the best infrastructure.
-Despite protests in Chile happening in the past couple of years, they were mostly related to the political situation in the country, and not having a direct influence in the overall crime rate.
-The capital Santiago is a large city with over 5 million inhabitants, thus, the most dangerous city in the country.
-Smaller cities or regions like the famous Patagonia are overall quite safe.
-Even if Chile still remains as one of the safest countries in Latin America, it is considerably less safe than other countries in this list in other regions such as Portugal or Taiwan.
Safest countries in the world are also cheap (low cost of living).
