Hey #tribe, what are the countries/cities in the world with the best healthcare and quality of living?

*Best ' is very subjective, but Scandinavian countries and Finland top the charts in this regards.

South Korea has it good too. Though language will be a hindrance.

I’m go out on a limb and say Abu Dhabi, UAE! Been here for 7 months now and loving every single bit of it! Not a fan of Dubai though. Unless I want a night of mindless binge drinking and partying…

also depends on what you consider quality of life 🙂

I can't qualify for the world but I have worked in Scandinavia, the Middle East and spent considerable work time in the US, UK; apart from travelling across other places. Scandinavia is by far better than most places for: 1. Health - free comprehensive healthcare, clean air and water, lots of outdoors stuff and pretty spectacular at that 2. Quality of life - great food and nutrition, very competitive pay, robust social security net, free education and child support, progressive and liberal ideals among people, Some downsides: • Wait times for some non-urgent medical procedures to start can be long. eg. 1 month wait for a root canal • Very high taxation - there is no point paying taxes here, unless you want to immigrate in, otherwise it's all sunk • Language - you cannot live there medium to long term, without learning the language; although it is an Anglo-Saxon relative, so easier than most to learn. Personally for me, language, cricket and culture are higher up in the pecking order; so the outskirts of London are higher QoL, with one of the best healthcare systems in the world and a more accommodative tax regime. @broad-camera-13514 what are you planning to do?

Thanks guys

Its only for income beyond a certain limit, also called locally as 'Rich Man's tax'. For everything else its between 29-33%

@broad-camera-13514 @cold-school-3088 Are there any “easy” routes of freelancing / working for long term from UK or the Scandinavian countries? With an Indian passport the constant hurdle seems to be getting a long term visa. Wonder if there are any hacks for that other than the tedious route of finding a job there. Personally I value my freedom and control over my time too much to go the job route. That's the dilemma 😝

Easy? No. There are entrepreneur style visas (for UK) that give you plenty of wiggle room; but YMMV.

Thanks. If you can share any links for such visas or specific names, it would be super helpful.

@gorgeous-spring-56155 Still evaulating, Europe seems to be a good bet

@broad-camera-13514 any specific countries and visa options you are considering
