14. Australia 

A far far away land with a fantastic standard of living. Geographic placement, developed economy and stable social policy make this country an incredibly desirable destination for many migrants all over the planet. And fairly so. 

13. New Zealand

One of the most famous countries in the world due to fantastic trilogy about travelling hobbits. Now we know about outstanding landscapes. But that’s not it. The country is also very stable and popular among expats. Pretty comfortable tax environment helps a lot. 

12. Malaysia

Even though the overall quality of life is not as big as in many other destinations and corruption os bigger than you would like it to be, but it takes a pretty high position due to very cheap manufacturing costs. Besides that, many prices are affordable for expats. Therefore, you can consider Malaysia as one of the potential options for you. 

11. Panama

Great weather all year long, beautiful beaches and mountains, comfortable and affordable life, and even great Internet connection. All of these advantages haven’t led to this country to be so high in the rating. But taxation did. As far as you get income from a foreign source, you are not obligated to pay taxes in Panama. And this is so attractive, that people come here over and over again to start their new life without loosing their business. 

10. Norway

One of the famously stable Nordic model countries. The climate is not suitable for everyone, but pretty much the highest quality of life can make you change your mind. Taxes are relatively big, but compensated with very stable economy, low corruption and unnoticable bureaucracy.

9. Finland

The Nordic brother of the previous position. Famous for high attention to innovations and IT development as well as great quality of life. Very stable, not bureaucratic. And also the most ecologically clean country in the world. Just think about that. 

8. Thailand

One the most popular destination for tourists is also famous for incredibly cheap manufacturing. You can question why it is so high in the rating, while Malaysia has it too. Well, Thailand is also less corrupted and have some tax preferences that can be interesting for particular businessmen.
