When choosing a country to buy property abroad, many buyers prioritise more than just price or return on investment—they also seek safety, friendliness, welcoming local culture and a supportive environment for international residents. Hospitality isn’t just a social feature—it’s a property market driver. Locations where people feel welcomed and comfortable relocating show higher repeat visitor rates, sustainable rental demand and long-term real estate growth.
Based on global surveys from InterNations Expat Insider 2024, World Economic Forum Travel Competitiveness Report 2024, and World Population Review 2025, the most hospitable countries in the world for foreign property buyers are Thailand, Portugal and the Philippines—three destinations where international investors consistently report high satisfaction and long-term residency appeal.
Thailand is widely known as the Land of Smiles, consistently ranking among the Top 10 Friendliest Countries in the World (InterNations 2024). Beyond its tourism reputation, Thailand also offers one of the easiest transitions for foreign residents due to its English-friendly services, relaxed lifestyle and low cost of living (Numbeo Cost Index 2025).
Thailand is ideal for retirees, lifestyle buyers and income investors, combining community friendliness with solid real estate performance.
Portugal ranks #1 in Europe for friendliness towards foreign residents (InterNations Expat Study 2024) and is known for its relaxed pace of life, coastal charm and secure legal system. It attracts buyers from over 30 countries, with strong interest from UK, USA, Germany and Scandinavia.
Portugal’s combination of European lifestyle, migration stability and cultural warmth continues to make it a top relocation destination globally.
The Philippines ranks in the Top 5 friendliest countries worldwide (InterNations Expat Index 2024) and is rapidly emerging as one of Asia’s most welcoming and affordable property markets. Known for its English-speaking population, tropical coastline, and pro-Western culture, the Philippines offers a familiar environment for many international buyers.
The Philippines offers high hospitality, cultural warmth and attractive investment entry levels, making it ideal for budget-conscious investors and lifestyle relocators.
At International Property Alerts (IPA), we recognise that hospitality and lifestyle compatibility are critical factors in long-term international ownership success. Thailand, Portugal and the Philippines stand out as destinations where foreign buyers feel welcomed, supported and integrated, driving strong property demand and sustainable community growth. These countries are not just investment locations—they are lifestyle upgrade opportunities backed by stable market fundamentals.
