These Are the Best Countries to Move to Right Now

8. Czech Republic

If you're considering moving to Europe, the Czech Republic, or Czechia, might be a great option. This former Soviet nation boasts stunning architecture and even castles. The capital city, Prague, hosts an annual Christmas market that transforms the city into a magical wonderland. With a temperate climate, you can enjoy all four seasons, including cold and snowy winters. Living in Prague is significantly cheaper than in cities like London. Luxurious Airbnbs can be found for as low as $40 per night, and apartments range from $1,000 to $1,500 per month.

Prague is home to over 150,000 expatriates. Obtaining a visa and eventually permanent residency is relatively straightforward compared to other countries. EU citizens can stay without any issues, while Americans can apply for a Živnostenský úřad visa. This process involves a few months of paperwork and a $400 fee. Once approved, the visa allows you to live in the country for an entire year. After five years of renewing this visa, you can apply for permanent residency.
