A deep dive into the top 5 most immigrant-friendly nations
Some countries stood out from the pack in our ranking, warranting further exploration of the factors that make them excellent locations for immigrants to consider. It’s important to note how the introduction of new metrics in this year’s report have impacted ranking movements. Newly introduced metrics include more family-related ones like parental leave and international schooling options, alongside wider factors such as political stability, culture, and energy. Strong performance in these can help explain the introduction of new players in the top ranking from last year. Read on for a deep dive into the 5 most immigrant-friendly countries in the world.
1. Switzerland
Immigration index score
60.8
Rising from second place in 2025 to take the top spot in 2026, Switzerland stands out for its exceptional earning potential (ranking first globally for this category); strong healthcare access; high safety standards; and great earning potential. Switzerland’s appeal is further enhanced by a well-established immigrant community2 and public utility infrastructure. Scoring highly in newly evaluated metrics such as international school offering and energy provisions has earned Switzerland its top spot. While it currently ranks in this spot, it should be noted that there is a referendum happening3 in June 2026 to limit the country’s population to 10 million, which could alter the country’s stance on immigration in 2027 and beyond. The Immigration Index takes into account current data and does not factor in items like this which may or may not pass.
2. Iceland
Immigration index score
60.2
After claiming first place last year, Iceland drops to second in this year’s edition. The European country performs well and scores highly for excellent earning potential and safety, while leading the index for environmental performance. However, a significantly lower number of international schools versus other countries can help explain the ever so slight drop in ranking. With strong family-friendly policies and one of the world’s happiest populations4, Iceland offers immigrants a high quality of life in a close-knit society.
3. Luxembourg
Immigration index score
60.1
Luxembourg continues to punch above its weight as one of the smallest independent nations in Europe, combining strong earning potential with excellent public transport and a thriving immigrant community. High safety levels, impressive environmental performance and great happiness levels for its citizens further make it attractive for professionals and families seeking stability, mobility and a high standard of living in the heart of Europe.
4. Australia
Immigration index score
59.0
Australia ranks fourth with high scores for healthcare, happiness and environmental quality. A welcoming immigrant community, strong earning potential and an outdoor-focused lifestyle continue to attract immigrants looking for both economic opportunity and quality of life, particularly families planning for the long term.
5. Germany
Immigration index score
58.7
Germany’s strength lies in its robust infrastructure and social systems. Ranking particularly highly for healthcare, environmental performance and energy security, it remains a dependable choice for immigrants seeking opportunity within Europe’s largest economy, supported by strong worker protections and long-term career prospects. Germany was also revealed as home to some of the most affordable cities to purchase property in, according to a recent Remitly data analysis. For those considering Germany as a country to move to, migrants can use Remitly to send money abroad to various countries.
Australia is experiencing strong demand across healthcare, education, construction, and technology jobs, creating meaningful opportunities for people considering a new chapter abroad. That demand has enabled many to establish long-term careers in a country globally known for its high quality of life.Kym Whitford
At the same time, changes in immigration reforms may change how accessible certain employment pathways are in the future. Because of this it is important to stay informed about evolving eligibility requirements and policy changes.
Where should families consider moving to?
For families considering a move abroad, the practicalities matter just as much as the dream. This year, our family-friendly ranking looks closely at the systems that shape everyday life when you move with children, including: quality of education, childcare affordability, maternity and paternity leave policies, and access to international schooling. This year’s results reflect the introduction of new and expanded metrics, meaning direct comparisons with our 2025 Immigration Index should be viewed as indicative rather than absolute. By looking at factors such as international schooling options and parental leave, countries that ranked much further down in last year’s report have now jumped into the top 10.
Spain takes the top spot, driven by affordable childcare, generous parental leave policies (in fact, Spanish parents will have it even better in coming years, with extra paid leave5 scheduled to be implemented from 2026) and a strong public education system, complemented by a wide range of international schools for relocating families. China ranks second, supported by extensive education infrastructure and growing international school options in major cities, alongside evolving parental leave provisions.
The United States places third, boosted by its depth of international schooling and diverse education pathways, despite higher childcare costs in some states. Sri Lanka, last year’s number one, remains a standout thanks to low childcare costs, while the United Arab Emirates continues to attract expat families with excellent international school provision and competitive parental benefits.
Further down the list, Iceland maintains its reputation for progressive parental leave and high-quality education, while Bangladesh scores well on childcare affordability. The UK and Croatia finish off the top ten, offering a mix of established education systems, parental leave protections and international schooling options.
In 2026, Spain is expanding its paid parental leave, making the country a more attractive choice for parents. With a strong social infrastructure, the European nation continues to stand out as a destination for families looking to build stability and opportunity abroad. For many, that combination of access, support, and quality of life makes Spain an increasingly compelling choice.Eva Borislavova
As governments adapt policies to attract international talent, the definition of a family-friendly country continues to evolve and so do the opportunities for families looking to build a life abroad.

The countries with the largest immigrant communities in the world
Relocating to a country with a larger immigrant population can make it easier to build social connections, find support when needed, and access cultural networks from the very beginning. With this in mind, we analysed the percentage of each country’s population made up of immigrants to help highlight destinations with the most established immigrant communities.
The United Arab Emirates retains its top position from 2025, as the world’s most immigrant-dense country (foreign-born residents make up 88% of the population6). This reflects decades of labour migration tied to rapid economic growth, particularly across construction, finance, technology and hospitality, backed by policies designed to attract international talent7. Due to this, many people living there send money from the UAE to support families and communities in other countries.
Climbing up one position to second is Kuwait, where sectors such as energy, healthcare and domestic services depend largely on immigration labour. Luxembourg is in third place, driven by its role as a European financial hub. Nearly half of its workforce8 is born outside the country, made possible by freedom of movement across EU member states and multilingual working environments. Oman ranks fourth, reflecting steady demand for international workers across infrastructure, logistics and energy.
Three countries make their first appearance in the top 10 this year, including Jordan in 7th (due to its high proportion of displaced and immigrant populations), New Zealand in 9th (its points-based immigration system continues to attract skilled workers and families), and Switzerland in 10th (bolstered by strong cross-border employment and a highly international professional workforce).
Data collection for this index was completed prior to the start of the 2026 conflict in the Middle East, therefore, it does not reflect how current situations may look for those considering moving abroad. Anyone considering a move to countries in the region should seek advice from their local government before making any decisions.

The happiest countries in the world
Happiness is such an important factor for anyone considering making the move abroad, as it can often reflect aspects of quality of life, including social support, work-life balance, and overall well-being. Using The World Happiness Report 4, we can highlight the countries where residents report the highest levels of life satisfaction.
Finland holds onto its top position as the happiest country in the world, reflecting a combination of strong social trust, generous welfare systems and a deeply embedded culture of work–life balance. Benefiting from low income inequality, high-quality public services and a strong connection to nature, Finland continues to set the benchmark when it comes to overall well-being and happiness.
The rest of the top five remains unchanged from last year, with Denmark, Iceland, Sweden and the Netherlands continuing to impress. These countries share common traits, including high levels of social support, stable governance, and policies that prioritise family life, employee protections and mental wellbeing. Separate research from the OECD9 regularly points to Nordic countries excelling in life satisfaction due to trust in institutions and strong community cohesion.
Two countries making their first appearance in the top 10 are Costa Rica and Mexico. Costa Rica is the highest-ranking country outside of Europe and its lofty position can, in part, be attributed to its emphasis on environmental protection, community wellbeing and universal healthcare.
Elsewhere, Luxembourg slips slightly but remains highly ranked, supported by economic security and strong public services, while Australia completes the top 10, underpinned by high living standards, outdoor lifestyles and social stability.
While happiness rankings offer valuable insight into quality of life, long-term fulfilment abroad is shaped by a wider mix of factors, from economic security to personal values and community connections.

The safest countries in the world
For those considering a move abroad, feeling safe in day-to-day life is fundamental. This year’s safety ranking looks beyond crime alone, combining reported safety perceptions with measures of political stability to reflect how secure people are likely to feel both now and in the long term.
Singapore leads the category after rising four places year-on-year, reflecting consistently low crime rates, strong rule of law and highly effective public institutions. The country regularly ranks among the safest globally10 due to strict enforcement, high social trust and political stability.
Iceland follows closely, entering the top 10 for the first time. Its position is underpinned by extremely low violent crime, high levels of social cohesion and long-standing political stability, factors that international studies11 frequently associate with higher perceptions of safety. Switzerland also makes a strong entry, benefiting from stable governance, low crime and a decentralised political system that encourages trust in public services.
Elsewhere, Japan continues to stand out for everyday safety, boosted by low crime rates, strong community norms and a visible public security presence, making it one of the safest large economies in the world. Slovenia, meanwhile, combines low crime with political stability and strong social infrastructure, helping it retain its position from last year.
Ultimately, safety shapes everything from daily routines to long-term settlement decisions. For immigrants, understanding how crime levels, governance and social trust intersect can be just as important as weighing financial or lifestyle considerations when choosing where to build a future abroad.

The most environmentally-friendly countries in the world
For many, environmental factors are becoming increasingly important when considering a move abroad, particularly when it comes to long-term health and quality of life. To identify the most environmentally friendly countries, we analyzed air pollution levels alongside points from the Environmental Performance Index (EPI) - a global ranking that scores countries based on factors such as ecosystem vitality and climate policies.
Iceland continues to lead for environmental quality, encouraged by exceptionally low air pollution and widespread use of renewable energy, with almost all electricity12 generated from solar, wind and other renewables. Fellow Nordic country, Finland, moves into second place this year, reflecting long-term investment in clean air policies, forest conservation and sustainable urban planning.
New Zealand slips slightly but remains among the top performers, helped by strong biodiversity protections and ambitious climate legislation, including its Zero Carbon Act13. Neighbouring Australia records the biggest rise in the top 10, driven by improvements in air quality and environmental regulation in major cities, alongside growing investment in renewable energy.
Sweden continues to perform strongly thanks to progressive climate policies, low emissions intensity and programs that reduce waste by reusing and recycling resources, while Germany edges into the top group, reflecting its expanding renewable energy sector and sustained efforts to reduce industrial emissions.
The latest Environmental Performance Index (EPI) shows that countries investing in environmental health, climate mitigation, and resilient infrastructure are likely better positioned to support economic stability and community well-being.Kiana van Waes
As climate and ecosystem pressures evolve globally, migration can reflect how individuals and families adapt to changing conditions while contributing to economic and social vitality in the communities where they live and work.

Economic factors: cost of living, unemployment and earning potential
This section focuses on the economic foundations that influence financial stability when moving abroad, including how far income stretches, access to employment and long-term earning potential. Taken together, these indicators reveal which countries offer the strongest conditions for building economic security and career opportunities as an immigrant.
How cost of living differs around the world
As the cost of everyday life continues to shift globally, our 2026 rankings highlight the countries that offer the strongest balance between earning, housing and daily expenses. With a methodology unchanged from last year’s report, our analysis looks closely at purchasing power, mortgage costs as a percentage of income, average rent compared to salary, and the average cost of eating out, recognising that affordability is about more than just low prices.
At the top of the 2026 ranking is Saudi Arabia, which performs exceptionally well for purchasing power and mortgage affordability. Strong wages relative to living costs (Saudi Arabia famously charges no income tax for residents), combined with lower housing burdens for homeowners, make it an attractive option for workers seeking financial stability. Bangladesh, which topped the ranking in 2025, remains firmly in second place, driven by very low rents and affordable mortgages that continue to stretch incomes further, particularly for families supporting relatives abroad.
The United States climbs to third, encouraged by strong purchasing power, comparatively accessible rent in many regions, and affordable food in restaurants. This is enabled by globally higher minimum wages and stronger average incomes comparable to other nations. In Scandinavian countries, Norway and Denmark, both feature in the top five, reflecting high purchasing power that helps offset higher headline living costs, a reminder that strong wages can rebalance expensive economies.
Elsewhere in the top 10, Oman stands out for low mortgage burdens, while Pakistan and Nepal rank highly due to low rental costs relative to income. Luxembourg and Ireland also feature thanks to exceptional purchasing power, despite higher housing and food costs.
Compared to 2025, the rankings reflect shifting global pressures, with rising interest rates and housing costs reshaping affordability in some markets, while others continue to offer stability. For immigrants, understanding this balance is key to making informed financial decisions across borders.

The countries in the world with the lowest unemployment
A lower unemployment rate can suggest a healthier and more robust job market, a key factor for anyone looking for work abroad. Not only does it signal greater economic stability, it also suggests there could be more opportunities when it comes to finding a long-lasting career. We analysed unemployment rates to highlight which countries might offer the best job prospects.
Thailand leads with an unemployment rate below 1% (a figure well below global averages), reflecting resilience across key sectors such as tourism, agriculture and services. Thailand’s economy has maintained these low rates14 even amid broader economic pressures, partly due to high levels of people who are working or are actively looking for work, and a workforce absorbed across both formal and informal sectors.
Climbing up two positions this year, Moldova ranks in second place with a 1.4% unemployment rate, indicating a tight labour market in which most working-age people are engaged in jobs. Similarly, Cuba, which drops down one place this year, ranks third with an unemployment rate of 1.5%. The low rate reflects widespread state-led employment, although this also points to different labour market structures compared with many western economies.
Two countries made their way into the top 10 this year, including Poland (8th) and South Korea (10th). Both have seen improvements over the past 12 months, meaning they now rank among some of the top countries for low levels of unemployment.
Low unemployment rates can suggest a healthy job market, offering immigrants better chances of finding employment and ultimately helping them to achieve financial security. However, it’s important to consider these rates alongside other factors such as wages, job quality, and overall economic factors that could impact decisions when it comes to relocating.

The countries where earning potential could be strongest
Earning potential is a major factor for anyone moving abroad - greater financial stability not only helps you live a better quality of life but can also mean being able to help family members back home. To identify the countries offering the strongest earning potential, we analysed how evenly income is distributed as well as minimum wage data and average annual incomes.
Switzerland continues to lead globally on earning potential, and as previously mentioned, is underpinned by some of the highest average salaries in the world and strong minimum wage protections across sectors. High productivity, a concentration of high-skill industries such as finance, pharmaceuticals and engineering, and relatively low income inequality15 all contribute to strong earning outcomes for workers.
Iceland follows closely, benefiting from high average wages, low income inequality, and strongly negotiated worker agreements (usually with unions) that help ensure fair wages and conditions. A tight labour market and high workforce participation, particularly among women16, have helped sustain competitive salaries relative to the country’s size.
Luxembourg ranks highly due to its role as a major European financial hub, where wages are bolstered by people who live in one country but work in another, a strong minimum wage and a concentration of international employers. Ireland also performs strongly, supported by its multinational presence in technology and pharmaceuticals, which continues to drive high average earnings. In fact, Ireland ranked highly in our study of the world’s most entrepreneurially minded nations, standing out as a nation defined by resilience, creativity and a strong sense of purpose.
The Netherlands and Australia complete the top performers, both offering strong minimum wages and broad employment opportunities across professional services, healthcare and education. Australia’s recent wage growth has been specifically aided by labour shortages and policy-led minimum wage increases17.
Previous Remitly research found that career opportunities are among the top reasons people choose to move abroad. For many, international mobility represents a pathway to higher earning potential and better financial stability. It’s often one of the most difficult choices an individual will make.Eva Borislavova
Immigration Index data suggests that several European countries offer a strong balance of competitive salaries, lower income inequality, and supportive wage structures, factors that can make them attractive for those seeking sustainable career growth.

Infrastructure: healthcare, public transport and energy
This section examines the core systems that support everyday life when relocating, from access to reliable healthcare to efficient public transport and secure energy infrastructure. Together, these factors highlight which countries offer the strongest foundations for long-term stability, resilience and quality of life.
The countries with the best healthcare systems
For anyone considering a move abroad, access to reliable, affordable healthcare is often one of the most decisive factors - reliable healthcare can be a defining factor in the success of a long-term move, shaping not just quality of life, but confidence in building a future abroad.
In this year’s index, we looked beyond reputation alone, assessing both the cost of healthcare and the strength of national healthcare systems to understand where immigrants are most likely to receive high-quality care without prohibitive expense.
South Korea continues to lead the ranking, underpinned by its universal healthcare system, high life expectancy and comparatively low out-of-pocket costs. International health bodies frequently cite South Korea18 for its efficient use of technology, strong preventative care and accessible insurance model, which together deliver consistently high outcomes for residents and newcomers alike.
Australia follows closely, benefiting from a well-established public healthcare system that is widely regarded as one of the most effective in the world. Medicare provides broad coverage, while private healthcare options offer additional flexibility, helping explain Australia’s continued appeal to immigrants and expat families. Canada ranks just behind, supported by universal healthcare access and strong primary care provision, despite longer wait times in some regions.
Rounding out the top five, Sweden and Germany reflect the strengths of well-funded European healthcare systems, combining universal access with advanced medical infrastructure and strong patient outcomes. The United States climbs the rankings this year, driven by the quality of care and medical innovation19 available, even as higher costs remain a consideration for many immigrants.
Healthcare is a critical consideration for anyone relocating internationally, particularly families seeking long-term stability and peace of mind.Kym Whitford
South Korea has made significant advances in health technology access, while Australia is recognised for balancing broad public coverage with private healthcare options. While analyses like ours can provide a helpful starting point, it’s important prospective migrants understand how eligibility, coverage, and costs work in practice when making a comparison.

The countries with the best public transport
Affordability and access to public transport remains crucial to immigrants settling into a new country. Good transport links open up a world of possibility, expanding the range of jobs people can apply for, reducing commuting costs and time, and making it easier to navigate a new country whether for business or leisure. We’ve kept the same methodology as last year to evaluate each country’s public transport systems, namely accessibility and cost.
Luxembourg retains its crown as the country with the best public transport system, according to our data, serving a hugely impressive 97.4% of the population20 completely for free. Azerbaijan and Cuba remain 2nd and 3rd respectively, largely due to the low cost of a one-way ticket. There are two new entrants into this year’s top 10. The first, Sri Lanka, rises nine positions to fifth as a result of The National Transport Commission approving a reduction in bus fares in July 202521. The second, China, also moves up six places into 9th with its own public transport costs reducing due to fare-free or reduced fare schemes22 aimed at encouraging use and improving air quality.

The countries with the best energy performance
A new metric for our 2026 edition of the Immigration Index looks solely at energy, using the World Energy Council’s trilemma framework23 (a model that measures a country’s energy system based on reliability, cost, and environmental impact), and the data from it.
Energy underpins everything a country does economically, socially and strategically. It keeps the economy running, affects living standards and public services, shapes national security and independence, and influences prices and inflation - all crucial factors for immigrants choosing where to live and work. The scoring system captures a country’s performance across three dimensions to give a combined trilemma score: energy security, energy affordability and environmental sustainability.
European countries dominate the top 10. Only Canada, with its abundance of domestic resources to support energy security and affordability, bucks the trend. Three Nordic countries rank highest thanks in part to their strong integration of renewables, ambitious sustainability targets and reliable supply systems. Switzerland, which tops the index rankings overall, also scores highly with almost universal, affordable access for its residents. Three of the most powerful countries in Europe - France, Germany and the UK - also feature. All have reliable energy sources and excellent access for people living there.

Choosing where to build a life abroad is one of the biggest decisions someone can make in their life. Our 2026 Immigration Index shows the broad mix of factors that immigrants are weighing up when deciding where to move to.Ryan Riley
The rise of Switzerland, Spain, Germany, and Australia in this year’s rankings reflects countries where many of these factors can be balanced for a fulfilling life. They typically offer strong employment opportunities alongside a high standard of living.
That said, there is no universal “best” destination. The right choice depends on individual priorities, family needs, and long-term goals. By bringing these variables together, the Immigration Index is designed to go beyond headline rankings and help people better understand how different countries may align with their ambitions and future plans.
Methodology & Sources
Data analysts on behalf of Remitly collected insights on 34 factors across 16 key immigration categories from reputable international sources including the World Bank, Yale and Columbia universities, and OECD to name a few. The full list of sources can be found here. Scores were assigned using a weighted system based on each value’s relative position within the range of results.
We then applied category weighting across the 16 categories, with a total possible score of 1430 points. Categories including: Connectivity and Public Transport were allocated 50 points each, while categories including: Environment, Immigrant Community, Salary and Income, Access to Banking, Economic Strength, Employment, Safety, and Happiness all received 100 points each across the category.
The total score out of 1430 for each country was then normalized to a 0 - 100 scale for easier comparison, and countries were ranked based on these final normalized scores. We excluded data for countries with insufficient information or ongoing conflicts that would make immigration inadvisable. The data collection was completed prior to the start of the conflict in the Middle East, and therefore does not reflect how current situations may look. All data is correct as of November 2025, however maternity leave data was updated in March 2026.

Social factors: family, community, happiness, safety and climate
This section explores the social conditions that shape everyday life when relocating, from personal safety and environmental quality to happiness, and family support. Together, these factors highlight how welcoming, secure and livable a country is for immigrants building a long-term life abroad.
