    In my part of Denmark we have some of the worlds best drinking water, nice beaches and forests and less than an hour to Copenhagen, where some of the best restaurants in the World are located. You dont need security personel. When entering Denmark your assets are measured. So if you have bitcoins or stocks and are leaving a country without exit tax, you can sell your assets while living in Denmark and only pay tax on the gains won after moving to the country. Tax on salaries for foreigners is a flat rate of 32 pct.

    12 years ago, I moved from Lyon, France to Geneva, Switzerland. I made 3 times more money but everything cost 3 times more. With double taxation, it is not worth it. Some countries have bilateral tax laws. You still have to pay taxes in your country of origin. Look up the tax laws before moving or contact an expert who deals with such matters. Some places are just too boring!!! Avoid Belgium and Luxembourg at all costs.
    EDIT: My Belgian bank CBC froze my account for "lack of activity" and my French bank Societe Generale forced me to close my account because they stopped accepting "foreign funds". I think it might have to do with "terrorism".

    As to quality of life, what are the categories, who does the rankings, how are each weighted, etc. most seen like opinion that can easily be “bought”. So with current media lying, how can we believe what is being “sold”? What things do we count most important? What does everyone want from their government, protect me, get out of my pocket, leave me alone, and let me live? What does every government want, the opposite? So I would measure countries by that standard, and some high on the list might fall greatly, mightn’t they? And another criteria might be which direction they are headed. Venezuela was 25 years ago the wealthiest country in South America, look at Singapore or Dubai 25 years ago. Some of these high on the list we may be thankful we escaped from?

    You need to be canton specific when you talk about Swiss taxation, imHo. Taxation in the canton of Geneva is actually quite high, up to 40% + wealth tax and high soc sec, medical but you get the services you pay for so no criticism implied or intended. The canton of Schaffhausen or Zug are likely to be far more negotiable in terms of paying a flat tax but the notion that Switzerland generally is a 'tax haven' is no longer accurate.

    Since a lot of those in the comments keep asking for a list of nations that are mostly free of these.... 'restrictions' (you know what I mean), here is my personal list, having traveled multiple times across the world in the last 16 months, hitting up 5 continents along the way. Below are my top 3 picks, and I have personally been to and been living in these countries during this time.
    1. Mexico - Remains the best possible choice for high freedoms, good quality of life, amazing food, kind people, little language barrier, relatively affordable outside of major tourist centers.
    2. Serbia - Only country on mainland Europe that has remained very free from the restrictions. Great culture, safe, and affordable.
    3. Tanzania - No restrictions, because the 'flu' doesn't exist here, at least it didn't in the eyes of the great, late (see: murdered) President Magavuli. Regardless, the country has no restrictions, but high corruption, prices, and overall difficulty of life makes Tanz a hard place to move to, unless as a last ditch escape from civilization lol
    I would have to give Georgia and Turkey also honorable mentions, as for the most part people are very relaxed in the country about 'restrictions' - however I can't fully add them to the list, because they have wavered at times, imposing lockdowns and mask fines during various times, and even as they are both open (for now), there is no way of knowing if this will continue. Hopes this helps some of you, stay strong, stay united, stay smart. Peace.

    I had wanted to retire in Penang, Malaysia having visited over the years. Really love the country and the people. However what I have heard from friends there and read in the papers COVID and the EMCO have been a totalitarian push by a government as corrupt as in the US. People cannot go anywhere without permission. Many are now hungry and have no jobs. Very sad.

      Yeah, although I’m not at the stage where I’m retiring permanently in any one location, I was set on spending the Winter in Bali, but, hearing about a ridiculous mask mandate outdoors and their general stance on the virus has made me reconsider. They’re still in lockdown now nearly 18 months later. Trouble is, where do you go if you want some warm weather November - April, where restrictions are more relaxed?

    How do you feel about Spain? People with Latin American parents, or parents from several other countries, can easily get their parents’ nationality and be eligible to apply for Spanish citizenship in 2 years. They could get into Spain using the non-lucrative visa, which seems to be the easiest and fastest one to get, provided that you have a certain amount of money in the bank. I really like the weather in Spain, especially in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. It seems to have Southern California weather at a fraction of the cost.

    Different countries have different definitions of quality of life. For instance, good affordable public transportation, universal healthcare, affordable education, public safety etc maybe important factors in Europe and developed Asia but in the U.S 2,700 sqft home, Ford F150 pickup truck and dazzling fake white teeth are the indicators of good quality of life. All very different.

    Andrew - It is possible to grab all the raw data and import it into excel where you can crunch the numbers to fit various personal situations. For example, as someone looking for a country to retire to, I deleted the traffic commute time column and the property price to income ratio column. I then deleted the overall QOL score and created a new formula to calculate a new "personal QOL" score. The new formula weighs health care, cost of living and safety higher than pollution. Finally, sort data based on final "personal QOL" score. Other things you can do is sort on safety, then decide what level of safety is personally acceptable and delete all places that fail that test. Same can be done for health care, etc. I've come up with an excellent "short list" of countries that "tick all the boxes" by simple data filtering this way.
