Well, I still like China. Used to be such a solid fan of Russia. And all of these cool Russia people I met in Hotels, Hostels in South Korea, Cyprus, UAE. Just one year before in 2021. Going to assume all of them are strongly against the War. One of the only maps on the Internet to really Quantify the topic. So, even if I disagree with some key places highlighted that is listed earlier, a relevant Map.
Even worse, just saw it's from 2013, ya know those years when Ukraine = Russia. The fact that it's Bezos's Washington Post highlighting it doesn't quite scream truth, the funny thing is Bezos is hated so it's not just me...
A legitimate domestic news agency (The Washington Post) combined with a multinational organization (World Economic Forum: WEF) tried to create vast enough methodological data study on this exact theme topic:
Find this a very Interesting map. Without any overly harsh criticism against the news source map. Even when I don't agree with South Korea, Kuwait, Hungary, Poland, Latvia, the old Russia before this year, Denmark, or Argentina, Panama on just enough various count measures.
Unfortunately that article link has a paywall so I couldn't read it.
But I don't think the map is particularly relevant to the topic and the question that was asked. The OP question specified only these criteria:
Quote:
Which countries are easiest for a non-native speaking foreigner to:
a) stay long term without hassles of frequent visa runs, high payments/deposits. This is related to the ease or difficulty of getting permanent residency and/or citizenship
b) get on their socialized medicine program for low cost or free medical care.
The map appears to be regarding countries that are welcoming (or not) to foreign visitors only. Just visitors, not people with intention of taking up permanent residency and getting socialized or free medical care. In that regard I think the countries on that map that are most welcoming of visitors probably also happen to be some of the most cautious and demanding of countries about their criteria for required qualifications that would allow foreign applicants to be eligible to take up permanent residency/citizenship.
My remarks about Jordan reflect a general truism. If you have skills they want, and you are willing to work for local wages. That magic formula will work anywhere.
On Jordan, they depended on NGOs to recruit, hire and donate skills like medical. They had a contract with CARE to supply nurses. They were delighted if an extra one walked in and worked for local pay. About half their nurses were Indian or Egyptian.
If you have a skill they can't fulfill locally, they'll hire you, but be prepared to live on $400 a month or so. Uzbekistan, Cameroon, they're all lovely.
