Where to go, and whether you can

Where should I go — and am I allowed to?

Livability, climate, country risk, nomad visas, passport reach and the residency rules that decide where you are taxed.

Tools in this section

Every figure here is computed, not collected

Nothing on this site is a crowdsourced estimate or an editorial top ten. Each tool runs a published dataset — World Bank, IMF, OECD, Eurostat, WHO, HUD — through an engine you can call yourself, and every JSON response carries a citation naming the source and the year it refers to. Where a figure is modelled rather than measured, the page says so.

Each tool above has a free JSON API and an MCP tool, listed on the card. See how it works or the ranked answers if you would rather start from a shortlist than a calculator.

Not sure which tool to start with? Ask the adviser what matters to you (Pro), and it will work through these figures for you.

Other questions

Where is it pleasant right now?

Cost rankings ignore the weather entirely, which makes them a poor guide to where you would want to spend a year. A comfortable day here means a daily maximum between 18 and 27 °C with under 1 mm of rain — measured from ERA5 reanalysis, 2016–2025.

That band is a preference, not a verdict: it is temperate-biased, and somewhere hot scores badly on terms it never agreed to. The average high is shown beside every row so you can disagree with it.

# City Comfortable days Average high
1 🇺🇸 Los Angeles, United States 23 25°C
2 🇺🇸 San Francisco, United States 22 24.2°C
3 🇨🇴 Bogotá, Colombia 21 19.5°C
4 🇵🇹 Porto, Portugal 19 23.4°C
5 🇨🇱 Santiago, Chile 18 19.5°C
6 🇹🇷 Istanbul, Türkiye 16 24.7°C
7 🇨🇦 Montréal, Canada 16 21.6°C

Cities, not countries — a country does not have one climate, and averaging a desert with a glacier describes nowhere. JSON

What could go wrong there?

INFORM Risk, from the European Commission's Joint Research Centre: exposure to earthquakes, floods, cyclones, drought and conflict, together with whether institutions could actually respond. Two countries can face the same hazard and have entirely different outcomes, and it is usually that second half which decides which.

Reported on its own and never folded into the cost or livability rankings. If you are comparing rent, you have not asked to have earthquake exposure quietly weighted into the answer.

# Country Risk (0–10) Band
1 🇸🇬 Singapore 0.7 very low
2 Liechtenstein 0.9 very low
3 🇱🇺 Luxembourg 1.0 very low
4 🇩🇰 Denmark 1.4 very low
5 🇸🇨 Seychelles 1.4 very low
6 🇶🇦 Qatar 1.5 very low
7 🇮🇸 Iceland 1.6 very low
8 🇲🇹 Malta 1.6 very low
9 🇳🇿 New Zealand 1.6 very low
10 🇧🇭 Bahrain 1.7 very low

Lower is safer. INFORM Risk 2026. A country INFORM does not score is left out rather than shown as zero — zero is the safest possible value and would rank an unassessed country first. JSON
