Which country should I move to from the US?

It depends most on how you will cover your life abroad: a W-2 remote employee, a self-employed founder, and a retiree qualify through different routes. This finder asks a few honest questions and returns a short, ordered list of the countries that actually fit, with a plain reason for each. Countries with a clear route for Americans include Portugal, Spain, Mexico, Italy, Greece, Costa Rica, Panama, and several others. To weigh every country side by side, see the compare page.
