Known for its incredible coffee, gorgeous beaches, and welcoming culture, it's no wonder Panama was named the best country in the world for expats. The designation was part of a 2025 expat insider survey from expat community InterNations, which was shared with Travel + Leisure. In Panama, which took the top spot for the second year in a row, 94 percent of expats surveyed were satisfied with their lives abroad. The country of Colombia came in second on the list thanks to its low cost of living with 81 percent of expats there surveyed satisfied with their financial situation. To complete its analysis, InterNations surveyed more than 10,000 expats across 172 nationalities, examining expat life in 46 different countries.
