Rentnerparadies: Rente im Ausland: Dieses Tool zeigt, wohin Sie auswandern sollten

A growing number of Germans are considering emigrating abroad, particularly to countries like Switzerland, Austria, and the United States, due to retirement. A recent survey suggests that many Germans are interested in the prospect of enjoying their golden years in Italy, based on the high reader interest in articles about this topic.

The Handelsblatt newspaper has now developed an interactive tool to help individuals explore potential retirement destinations. The tool considers two main criteria for selecting a country: whether a travel warning has been issued by the Foreign Office for the entire country, and the availability of sufficient data. Over 148 countries meet these criteria, excluding Afghanistan and Sudan, while including Russia and the Congo.

The tool allows users to explore various factors, such as affordability, the size of the German expat community, time differences, and the quality of local cuisine. Healthcare, climate, coastal locations, and LGBTQ+ rights are also taken into account. Users can consult the full list of filter criteria to tailor their search according to their preferences.

The interactive tool encompasses these factors, including the Legatum Prosperity Index, which compares healthcare provision across countries. Additionally, the tool incorporates climate data like maximum temperatures, sunshine hours, and coastal presence. For those interested in learning more about emigration, the Handelsblatt offers a series of in-depth articles, including one specifically focused on Italy.
