It’s because most of us foreigners go to these countries living in the capital cities where it’s over populated snd mostly developed because u think outside of their capital cities they won’t have much to offer for u wrong it do like in Thailand and the Philippines outside of there capital cities a lot of the locals grow their own food a lot of them go and catch there own meat and they have a lot of local open markets that sell reasonable priced naturally grown food and also it’s not overly populated and no bad traffic outside of there capital cities y’all need to stop going to these countries running down the capital cities only being where it is fully developed and overly populated and unwilling to change your lifestyle as a foreigner being under going to and living in the same areas as other foreigners of course u won’t be able to live for $1,000 a month or less this is why many foreigners won’t last king on third world and developing countries because y’all don’t put y’all selves in the developing rural areas where it’s more agriculture more cultural more traditional more locals u wanna be surrounded by other locals not expats not tourists nor other foreigners 🤔😅💯others go back to your home country

"Expensive" LMAO, everywhere is getting pricer, they always do as time goes on, but these places are still nowhere near as "expensive" as they are in the States.
As a Peruvian, I don't really agree with the crime being low... unless you stay in the touristic areas or don't go out when it's dark outside. Also, you can't afford even rent in a decent place in most costal cities for 500$, in general the numbers are off
This video posted 3weeks ago but I think these numbers are many years old. Another video designed to make money from a Utube channel. Sorry I wasted my time
What matrix are you considering to make such a statement? We have made this video after conducting research, and we are not misleading our visitors. Although every individual's way of living varies, and accordingly, expenses can be lower or higher. We acknowledge that inflation is increasing worldwide. The figures mentioned in this video are accurate, but for that, you need to live in city towns of the country where you can live comfortably. If you go to big and capital cities, the cost of living is definitely lower. For example, taking Argentina into consideration, you can comfortably lead a good life within your budget in places like Salta, Mendoza, and Cordoba. But, if you go to Buenos Aires, you will need to increase your budget. Understand this. We don't mislead people.
@@wrdfiv I appreciate your effort in making this video. What most people here probably want to know is how much will it cost to live a lifestyle somewhat similar to what they are used to in their home (developed) country, but adapted to what is locally available, of course.

I'm living in the Philippines, and unfortunately all what you said about cost living isn't true. Accommodation here is too much expensive without service, and medicine is absolutely terrible, low quality and expensive same as in the USA, no good help and service for big money! But for travel and enjoy the nature it's absolutely perfect country!
Some of your prices are way off. Plus, you have not mentioned the immigration-residency requirements one must meet in order to stay in those countries and the corruption and/or political atmosphere . Thanks for sharing.

In most big cities in Argentina you will find almost 100 percent of the population speaks at least some English. And many many Argentines are very fluent in English, you won't find it hard to communicate at all over there. Plus the people are very friendly and you won't have any trouble to blend in (as opposed to immigrants in Europe, that will have even their grand-children never fully integrate ...).
Thanks for the info ! -- Since found out they charge like $5000 for their retirement visa for old people like me ! = Crazy - when the Philippines is only like $300/year ?

Montenegro is nice but totally dead 10 months out of the year, way too boring to live year round. The whole country only has 600,000 people during peak season!
What about the most important factor? None of this means anything unless you can legally reside there. The ability to get a residency or retirement visa is the starting point in determining where you can legally immigrate. Without that it's all half truths and eye candy. What about the only two countries Americans can live in for 1 year on a passport stamped? Albania and Georgia. Why is it not mentioned that in the Philippines you are required to deposit $25,000 to get a retirement visa? That's just one example how this video is filled with bogus information and non-information. What about taxes? Typically, 15% to 35% of your gross income. Yes, including your Social Security and pension income. What about the 183 day rule where if you reside in a country more than 1/2 year you are responsible to pay taxes plus the VAT, sales taxes? How many people are going to watch this video, relocate and get prosecuted for tax evasion? A little information is a dangerous thing and this video is full of it! Research and seek the advice of an immigration attorney in the country you are considering moving to. Don't let your life be ruined by a UA-cam hack.
I lived 10 years in Cebu Philippines. No way you can live there for 700 a month. 1200 t0 1500 minimum. I spent 6 months in Montenegro on $ 1000 a month. Anything less and you would be scraping to get by.
Really opened my eyes to affordable places with awesome living standards. Definitely got me thinking about future travels
Unfortunately the reality is slipping very rapidly.
I have tested ALL these countries very often for the last 5 years (as a German pensioner).
Time has changed and don't expect to live under 1000$ per month for a single, basic life(to survive) unless you are gypsy nomad.
Be warned!
You can but you won’t be living very pretty
And > which of them do you consider "cheap" and desirable for English speakers ?

How about Asunción, Paraguay 🇵🇾

Prices are 10 years ago😊
Yes in Croatiain last 12 months or gone up transition to euro costs is 20 % up
Costs appear to be outdated by a few years. Multiply by 2.5
Oh come on! You cannot live in Croatia with $600 a month. So much bull...
Sure you can…I do…though only per week
@@DC-id3zb He said a MONTH you idiot, not per WEEK
Montenegro is ranked as number one...followed by Croatia, Azerbaijan, Indonesia, Peru, Philippines, Bulgaria, Portugal and Argentina
Which one is better According to you?
According to me ! Croatia and Montenegro ,but above all , all European countries are Beautiful ,and a Paradise .
TY and +1
INDONESIA desire tourisement or good traveling,we have so much beach beautiful,waterfall,so many taste food cheap also,we have so much culture & language traditional
Columbia is cheaper than Peru and a lot better healthcare.
These rent quotations are hilariously unrealistic.
The rent cost mentioned for Lima / Peru is inaccurate
It really depends where in Peru
2023 ...come on please updated Portugal dor 1000$ ???
These prices are so 2012 ... If you live like locals ... Indonesia , Phillipines , Balkans and Romania and Bulgaria ... But only if you have $1200 month and live like locals...
Great video love the way you laid out with all the prices I subscribed
Did you visit all those countries to say so?
Sadly really not true about Portugal,!! I wish.... things are way way up!
A relevant and informative video with good references. Thank You for sharing this important information.
thanks a LOT for the USEFUL information SERIOUSLY
but most of it is fiction
@@JM-zf1zq please tell me why it's fiction
Where exactly can you find rents for $200. in Bulgaria? Not in Sofia....And perhaps not in Varna either. Perhaps in a tiny village somewhere.
is portugal cheap? 1000 a mnth?

Wow thank you for your hard work to publish this statistics. Very interesting!
Hi , please tell more about How to get citizenship in those Countries without a Hassle ...Thanks .
Citizenship in Argentina is not very complicated, you need to reside legally for two years, and that is about it.
Peru is getting expensive. My wife grew up there and we’ve visited there a lot. Also, it’s not safe anymore

Picking cheapest countries doesn't guarantee best life quality. Think twice before relocating solely for low costs
