We wont be on lockdown forever. One day, the coronavirus will cease to be a global pandemic, and youll take to the skies once again, without all the restrictions that make it hard to move right now. Youll travel to new lands, and discover everything this world has to offer.


And why wouldnt you? 74% of expats increase their income in their new country, according to HSBCs latest Expat Explorer study.


As well as the financial benefits, moving abroad can open your eyes to different ways of living and satisfy the wanderlust thats been growing in you since the lockdown started.


But when that time comes, with every conceivable destination to choose from, where will you go? 


The Best Countries to Move to in 2021:



1. Switzerland
2. Spain
3. Singapore
4. Finland
5. Canada
6. New Zealand
7. Australia
8. Vietnam


1.Switzerland


This Alpine home of skiing, pastoral landscapes, and the best chocolate in the world is also a model of good governance, and comes with a reliable economy. Whats not to love?


In HSBCs 2019 Expat Explorer survey, Switzerland scored higher than any other country for political stability, economic stability, and income.


The average expat salary was $111,587 (92,400)  33% higher than the global average for expats, which stands at $75,966 (64,700). A massive 71% said they had more disposable income in Switzerland than they did in their home country.

And dont worry our decision to give top billing to the nation of Helvetica and the Red Cross wasnt solely based on the relative paradise it can offer to businesspeople.


Switzerland also came second for quality of life, reflecting the fact that expats there report enjoying a better work-life balance than they did in their home country.


With all your free time and disposable income, youll be able to easily hop over the border to neighbouring France, Germany, and Italy for a long weekend, and enjoy the varied cultural delights of Europe.


Maybe that explains why the land that invented fondue came third in the UNs World Happiness Report 2020.


Your little ones will be taken care of as well, with expats ranking Switzerland as the best country for learning, and the second-best for schooling.


And retirees are welcome too. Switzerland has come in the top two of the Global Retirement Index for the past three years, winning the award in 2018.


Its even an exceptionally Brit-friendly location. English people are the most common immigrants in Switzerland, and our language is widely spoken across the nations 26 cantons so dont miss the chance to go Swiss.


2. Spain


As you might expect, Spain is the place to go if youre looking to spend your golden years in the sun.


Its one of the best places in the world to retire, not least because 41% of its British expats are 65 or over, according to the latest Office for National Statistics (ONS) data. Nowhere in the European Union (EU) will you find more British pensioners.


And the weather wont let you down. Three Spanish cities Barcelona, Madrid, and Seville are in the top 10 sunniest destinations in Europe, more than any other country. 


Madrids residents are also the worlds least stressed city dwellers, according to a huge Time Out survey.


HSBCs survey saw Spain finish first for quality of life, first for physical and mental wellbeing, and third for work-life balance, ease of settling in, and welcoming communities.


This open, accepting nature stretches to children, with Spain coming second for how easy it was for kids to make friends.


And the country that brought us sangria, the Flamenco, and Andrs Iniesta also came second in InterNations quality of life rankings for 2019, showing a broad consensus among expats.


COVID-19 is currently terrorising Spain, with thousands having died from the virus but when this crisis is over, it will no doubt re-emerge as a wonderful place to live.


3. Singapore


Singapore is also known for its welcoming nature. The young country which only became independent in 1965 has turned itself into a global hub of business over the past couple of decades.


This openness to outside investment has created an inclusive urban culture that anyone whos familiar with a big city will slot right into.


The thriving city-state of around 5.8 million is one of the smallest countries in the world  less than half the size of London meaning you can get to know it in no time.


Transportation is fast and easy in Singapore, and it also helps that the state enjoys around 400 more hours of sun per year than the UK which works out to more than an hour per day.


This will give you plenty of chances to explore the stunning Gardens by the Bay, the rainforest zoo, and Merlion Park so named after Singapores national icon, which is represented by a 70-tonne sculpture-fountain at the edge of the park.


And your kids will benefit from more than just exploring their new homes sun-dappled parks and zoos.


Thats according to HSBCs survey, which ranks Singapore second overall, and first for how the move there treats children helped by the fact that the schooling there is phenomenal.


The country also came fourth in InterNations quality of life rankings, placing second in safety and security, and first in travel and transportation.


If youre looking to push your career to the next level in a picturesque but contained environment thatll also be positive for your kids, Singapores your best bet.


4. Finland




If youre looking to start a life somewhere new, why not choose the happiest country in the world?


Finland came top of the World Happiness Report in 2020, keeping its grip on the title for the third year in a row, with its capital, Helsinki, topping the subjective wellbeing rankings and its no wonder.


The Nordic country has created a collectivist culture where equality is prioritised over gross domestic product (GDP) so it has a strong social safety net, free healthcare, and an excellent work-life balance.


This sense of community encourages Finns to help others. Almost half of the population regularly donates to good causes, and around a third volunteer for charity each month, according to the World Economic Forum.

Finland can also boast near-complete gender equality its the only country where fathers spend more time with school-aged children than mothers, and is ranked third in Georgetown Universitys Women, Peace and Security Index.

This refreshing approach to building a society is also reflected in Finlands place at number one in InterNations health and wellbeing rankings.


If this kind of peaceful, happy utopia is where youd like to raise a family, youll have company. 88% of British expats in Finland are 15-64 years old  the highest percentage in the EU, as most countries host older expats.


5. Canada


While the US flounders in political turmoil and racial divides, Canada seems like the responsible older brother and the true melting pot.


Home to a diverse mosaic of peoples from all over the globe, the Great White North is the perfect place if youre looking to feel at home in your adopted nation.


More than 31% of the countrys 37.5 million people point to Britain as their place of ethnic origin, according to government data  but around 40 other countries have also each provided at least 100,000 of Canadas citizens.


And with almost a third of students in the country coming from abroad, your children wont have to be afraid of standing out.


For a nation thats already stereotyped as almost too polite, this diverse mix of peoples is the perfect recipe for accepting newcomers.


Canada came third overall in HSBCs survey, and second for welcoming communities. It may be the second-largest country in the world, but its relatively small population is full of friendly faces and the free healthcare doesnt hurt either.


6. New Zealand


With stunning landscapes and a progressive culture, its no surprise that expats in New Zealand enjoy the third-best physical and mental wellbeing, and second-best work-life balance in the world, according to HSBCs survey.


The country also comes second in the political stability category, well above its closest neighbour, Australia, which held four general elections in the 2010s the same number as the UK.


Part of this ranking is down to centre-left Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who has led New Zealand for three years with an unshakeable, positive attitude towards immigrants.


After the Christchurch shooting, a terrorist attack on mosques in 2017 which left 51 dead, she said: Many of those who will have been directly affected by this shooting may be migrants to New Zealand, they may even be refugees here.


They have chosen to make New Zealand their home, and it is their home. They are us.


This is one of the reasons why Brits flood to the English-speaking country, with 33% of all British expats currently living in Australia or New Zealand, according to the ONS  more than the proportion who live in the US and Canada, the EU, or anywhere else.


New Zealand is also a wonderful place for its 215,000 Brits to retire, as youre able to transfer your UK pension, and the country doesnt have any taxes on retirement benefits or death.


And it helps that the country is blessed with picturesque surroundings. You can enjoy beautiful beaches, mountains, and wildlife and if you want to explore alone, theres plenty of space. New Zealand has one of the lowest rates of population density in the world.


All of this helped New Zealand to secure fifth place in HSBCs survey, eighth place in the World Happiness Report, and seventh place in the 2019 Social Progress Index.


7. Australia


Australia may lose out to its Oceanic sibling in our rankings, but its still a huge draw.


The sixth-best country for expats according to HSBCs survey achieved the second-best score for physical and mental wellbeing, and the third-best score for quality of life.


If you like the sound of a low crime rate, affordable properties and groceries, and a British expat round every corner, moving Down Under may be perfect for you.


You can also look forward to free, high quality healthcare, as well as a plethora of incredible sights from the mind-blowing Great Barrier Reef to Uluru and the wilds of the Outback.


If you want your kids to grow up surrounded by opportunities to explore nature and meet a massive variety of animals, consider taking the yellow brick road to Oz.


You can go surfing after work, and then on the weekends, walk around one of the nations many breathtaking national parks and dont worry about inclement weather.


Australia enjoys around 3,000 hours of sunshine per year double the amount Brits get.

The relatively isolated nature of Australia and New Zealand also means that they should suffer less from the effects of COVID-19 than some other countries.


8. Vietnam


If British-speaking and comfortable isnt for you; if you desire a new start in completely different surroundings; and if you want to give your career a boost, Vietnam is an excellent choice.


HSBCs survey places Vietnam third for expats who are seeking professional development. Youll be able to enjoy this success, as you can expect a large amount of disposable income in a country where the cost of living is low.


Vietnam also came fifth in InterNations personal happiness rankings, which is perhaps due to the countrys colourful, exciting culture not to mention its wonderful natural attractions.


From H Long Bay famed for its green waters and gigantic stone monoliths with rainforests on top to Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park and Hang Son Doong, the largest cave in the world, Vietnam has gorgeous sights to spare.


And despite possibly experiencing some culture shock, your kids will be fine Vietnam came fourth in the HSBC survey for the ease with which expat children make friends.


Summary


Any of these eight countries would be fantastic to move to in 2021 maybe youre looking for the security and reliability of Switzerland, the overwhelming happiness of life in Finland, or a completely fresh start in Vietnam.


All you need to do is decide which one is right for you, and to be bold.


Coronavirus has killed tens of thousands and cast a shadow over the world, but thats no reason to give up on the future.


There will be a day, soon, when youll be able to travel freely again and you should seize it.
