As the holder of a U.S. passport, you may have had the privilege of visiting several countries around the world. After all, your passport is the 7th most powerful in the world- according to the Henley report. Maybe, during your travels, you may have enjoyed staying in one country more than the others and perhaps you began to entertain the idea of moving to another country.

Even if you’ve never visited another country, you want something new and exciting, and you’re thinking about changing your current address. Unfortunately, moving to a new country is not as easy as some may think. For one, you have to know whether you need a visa to enter a certain country, and you will most likely be required to have a specific amount of money in your bank account to get the visa.

Nevertheless, to make your journey simpler and more enjoyable, you can read about some of the easiest countries you can move to from the United States.

Here are the 9 easiest countries that you can move to from the United States:

Svalbard
Mexico
Portugal
Ecuador
Malta
Spain
South Korea
Australia
Canada
Svalbard
Transferring to Svalbard from the US is relatively easy because you don’t need a visa to enter, work, or live on the archipelago. However, you still need to prove that you can financially support yourself, live in Svalbard on your own, and you must have work and housing secure before you move there.

Keep in mind that Svalbard is located between Norway and the North Pole, and while it’s one of the most inhabited areas in the north it has difficult terrain, cold weather, and people are outnumbered by polar bears. So, while moving there might be easy, living is more difficult- you may want to think twice before making a decision when it comes to Svalbard.

Mexico
Mexico seems to be the top destination for U.S citizens to start their new life. In 2019, the US State Department surmised that approximately 1 million Americans are living in Mexico. There are several reasons why Mexico is so popular with expats, but generally, it comes down to four important factors: the low cost of living, favorable weather conditions, affordable healthcare system for expats, and a better work-life balance.

When it comes to an affordable cost of living, usually individual monthly expenses in Mexico go around $780-900 which is significantly lower when compared to the average expenses in America, around $2,000-2,500 (the average expenses vary depending on where you live). This, combined with amazing weather and fewer working hours, makes Mexico ideal to live a more relaxed lifestyle.

To move there, you can first visit Mexico visa-free for 180 days. Then, you can apply for a temporary residence permit- which is usually valid for 4 years. Afterward, if you want to make Mexico your final home, you can apply for permanent residency in Mexico. If you’ve lived 5 years continuously in Mexico you may be eligible for citizenship.

Portugal
Portugal seems to be another popular destination for US citizens, mainly due to the pleasant climate, but also because of the Golden visa scheme. With a Golden visa, you can get Portuguese citizenship after 5 years since your visa was issued, provided that you spent at least 35 days total in the country.

To get a Golden visa for Portugal, there are several different ways, but the most common way is via real estate. Usually, you have to purchase a property priced at $500,000. However, this purchase is not available in metropolitan areas such as Lisbon, Porto, or the coastal Algarve.

Additionally, Portugal has a great retirement scheme for those who want to spend their golden days on the beach, relaxing and enjoying Portuguese culture. Keep in mind that to get a retirement visa, you have to have a steady income from your pensions, or savings.

Ecuador
Moving to Ecuador has many benefits for US citizens, including the low cost of living, the proximity to the US, and the wide use of the English language and dollar. Another attractive prospect to move to Ecuador without a doubt is the amazing weather. For US citizens, there are two simple ways to move to Ecuador.

Firstly, you can enter Ecuador visa-free for 90 days only with a valid passport. Afterward, if you want to move permanently to Ecuador you must have been living there for 21 months under a temporary visa.

The two most common temporary visas for expats are the investor visa and the retirement visa. For the investor visa, you can usually qualify by purchasing real estate or investing your money in a bank CD, while for the retirement visa you must prove that you have a fixed monthly income either from your pension or personal savings.

Malta
This is another popular country for US citizens, mainly because of the climate, and because similarly to Portugal, it has a Golden visa scheme. For Malta’s Golden scheme you may either invest your money in government bonds, invest in a non-refundable government contribution, or purchase property for €320,000 or $375,637.

With a Golden visa, you will gain permanent residency and you can live and work in Malta as you wish, and after five years you can apply for citizenship and get a Maltese passport. Since Malta is in the EU and a part of the Schengen Area, you can visit the Schengen countries and the EU countries visa-free.

Life in America is having too expensive. The 40% increase in inflation rate has even worsened the situation. No place like Nigeria if you have a good job.

Mexico may be a great place to live but there's no job in Mexico. Only holiday makers/tourists can enjoy their money there. Mexicans struggling to cross border to Yankee are in hundred of thousands across cali, utah and Las Vegas borders

I'm an entrepreneur with amazing turnover annually and thanks to God. I don't know any politician, I'm not corrupt myself. Our job extends to other parts of West Africa. Look inwards and study the terrain. You'd find the myriads of challenges Nigeria has and study how to tackle it. If were offered a million dollar job in America or elsewhere, I won't t take it because I make more than that. I pay my tax and I don't benefit anything from the government rather, they're the ones feeding from me in taxes.
