Latin America and South American countries are welcoming to newcomers but everything is based on race and wealth in those countries as well, generally the more European and lighter you are the best chance you have to succeed. I did a Christian missionary trip to South America and loved it especially Brazil, Argentina and Columbia

Is there any problems of foreigner integration anywhere around the Southeast Asian cities of Saigon, Bangkok, Hanoi, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Phnom Penh, and other city areas over there in relation to Singapore?
Ultra successful is one sign of Singapore city state nation. Accepting of foreigners and immigration can't go too far when there is a relative lack of geographic space.
Vietnam these days is probably more enthusiastic with foreigners rather than Thailand's swarm of tourist crowds. Vietnam deserves a more welcoming rank while Thailand is a tad more less welcoming than expected depending on the area.
Singapore has one of the highest average annual incomes of any nation in the entire World.Really surprising if Dubai or Monaco is presumably too expensive. Affordable deals can be found everywhere on Planet Earth.
Travel on 7 countries of Europe might end up more expensive than navigating around Dubai or Monaco. Ironically, my luxury hotel resort Cancun Mexico trip ended up more expensive than last summer's epic journey of France, Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia, and Romania.
According to your own travel outlook, I rank France extremely welcoming=Dark Blue, Austria & Czech Republic rather welcoming =Light to Moderate Blue, Slovakia & Romania Usually quite an accepting level of welcoming Sometimes depending on area of the country Neutral = Purple. The map got all of these nations wrong, except Czech Republic.
The Global Map is very entertaining, yet not always very accurate.
This page shows how many foreign residents in Japan. According to this page, there were 2,121,831 foreign residents in 2014.
Japan has 126 million people so 2 million is peanuts especially when you take into account that more than half of the foreign population are either Chinese or Korean and a large quarter comes from other Eastern Asian Countries (mainly Filipinos).
Interesting stats... Just 36 hundred Nepalis in 2000 Japan, 36 thousand today
52k Vietnamese in 2012 Japan, 100k today
Consider this - they recently made bulgarian an "elder" in their sumo association. In west europe bulgars can't even make it to toilet cleaners let alone something that has been reserved for the highest class of locals for centuries.
Russia is also NOT xenophobic. These countries may have some minor racism but little to no xenophobia.
Back on topic: the least welcoming are Western europe and obviously Iran and North Korea.

Brazil is the most welcoming of all SA countries to people of all colors and looks IMO.
^^^^^
I think that what makes this impression is the attitude. In USA people of different colors seems to have a different way of dress, speak, etc This is not commom in Brazil, we are so mixed and even people in the same family has lots of diferents colors.
On the other hand, people that come with a "afro-american attitude" are not always well regarded, because that is not the natural way here, even among the darker brazilians.
For exemple, except when it's a brazilian family meeting, it's not commom to see a group just of black brazilians hanging out, what is totally natural in USA.
The racism emerges in different ways. In USA it is on your face because the groups are separated, here a group like this would be considered "suspect".
US residents most know that Brazil maintains a fully reciprocal visa policy.
Getting a visa can be a complicated and stressing process. Brazil applies the reciprocity policy, so it treats foreign citizens according to how that country treats Brazilians.
I don't think there is any nation welcoming of foreigners.
The very idea of a nation is to live among your kind and never think twice about it.
The fact that more and more people are economically (and some politically) forced to wander the Earth to build lives among strangers, where they don't belong and where they will automatically be excluded, is a sad trait of contemporary world.
There is no joy in living among locals who become increasingly uncomfortable that "alien" people (who clearly have something wrong about them because they are not like "us") came to take their cheese away, on top of that.

I go by how I have been treated there, and what I see there (vs Argentina and Colombia).
There is an attitude that exists there that is quite unique compared to other LA countries. There is an immense amount of mixing that occurs in Brazilian families that is quite normal. Brazilian families tend to be very mixed. My husband's family is German/Portugese & Black and these are people of all economic backgrounds. The mentality is different.
I know it is not a perfect society, and I know there is racism, but it is one of the most open societies I have ever been to in Latin America.
