Today the Overseas Guides Company consider some of the most tropical places on earth which are popular with expats and enjoy wonderfully low living costs…

The Philippines

A move to The Philippines will allow you to live on a delightfully tiny amount each month. Although things are slightly more expensive in the capital city of Manila, you are still only likely to have to part with around £200 a month for an apartment.

If you want to escape the rat race and get out of the city to some of The Philippines more tropical destinations then you can expect to pay as little as £108 a month for a nice apartment. Another added bonus is that food and drink is very cheap and the nation offers resident retirees visas which make it easier for you to realise your dreams of enjoying your twilight years in paradise.

Costa Rica

The unrivalled climate, incredible wildlife, stable political environment and friendly population make Costa Rica an incredibly popular choice with expats and retirees from all corners of the world. Prices in San Jose, the capital city, are so low that it would be possible to comfortably live on £320-450 per month and you can rent an apartment or a small house for around £250 a month.


Thailand

Now we can see why Thailand is referred to as the “Land of Smiles”. You can live comfortably on £400 a month. A beer will rarely set you back any more than £1 and rent for a small flat, depending on its location, can be as little as £60 a month.
