Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Inside Asia's best countries for expats
If you ask international expats where good places are to work and live,
five of the top 10 countries on the list are in Asia, according to this year’s international
survey, which asked over 10,000 expats around the world. Thailand, Vietnam, and
China are ranked fourth, fifth, and sixth, followed by Indonesia and Malaysia
in eighth and 10th place. Interestingly, highly modernized Asian
countries, Singapore, Japan, and South Korea, are not even in the top 30th
in the survey. What do those expats like or value when they work overseas? In
the case of Vietnam, though the administrative processes are highly bureaucratic
and inefficient, once you get used to them, it is a quite affordable and
comfortable place to live and work in. As for China, travelers and expats can enjoy
a vast network of public transportation, including air, high-speed railways, subways,
and buses to move around. Also, delivery services for food and goods are very well
established and affordable. Malaysia seems attractive for expats because of its
diverse cultures, English acceptance, affordable living costs, and work-life
balance. What people value differs widely, but economy and convenience seem essential
to live and work comfortably.
Read the article and learn why these Asian countries are so highly appreciated
by expats.
