Top Global Spots for British Retirees

For decades, Brits have often chosen the same destinations to retire to – France, Spain and Australia being prime candidates.

But as the cost of living rises, visa rules change post-Brexit, tax landscapes evolve and global lifestyle trends shift, a new roster of destinations has emerged.

And the factors influencing people’s decisions about where to retire involve a lot more than just how sunny it is and how much property costs, it’s also about post-Brexit legal changes and financial implications.

In this essential guide, we compare the top 10 traditional retirement destinations for UK expats with emerging options such as Portugal, Cyprus and Thailand, to help Britons make informed decisions about relocating for retirement abroad.
