9. Bahrain
More than half of expats living here say they’ve saved more for retirement, and more than 60 percent say they have more disposable income here. Nearly eight-in-10 expats say that they’ve seen an improvement in their children’s quality of life. To retire in Bahrain, you need to have lived and worked in the Gulf States for more than 15 years and meet a minimum asset threshold and prove you have enough income to support yourself. Also, as a Muslim country, there may be some areas where women are not allowed to work.
