Vietnam, like Mexico, has an excellent future economic outlook. Out of China’s lost share of exports to the US in 2019, due to the latter’s shifting supply chains, Vietnam gained the biggest trade share, at 20%. 

In addition, the country incentivizes the inflow of expats, by creating job opportunities for foreigners. Expats in Vietnam can earn $78,000 annually on average. Couple that with a low cost of living, averaging at $1,500 per month for a small family even in highly urbanized cities like Hanoi, and you get one of the best countries for expats.
