According to a report from InterNations' Expat Insider, published by CNBC, Thailand has been ranked as the sixth-best destination in the world for expats to live and work in, out of 53 countries surveyed globally in 2024.

The report surveyed over 12,500 people in February about their satisfaction with living abroad and ranked 53 countries worldwide. It was based on five indices: quality of life, ease of settling in, working abroad, personal finance, and an expat essentials index covering housing, administration, language, and digital life.

In response, the Thai government is actively promoting Thailand as an attractive destination for “digital nomads.” This includes launching new, more convenient, and streamlined visa policies, as well as developing digital infrastructure.
