Top destinations for sun-seeking British expats
By Kirsten Hastings, 4 Aug 17
Summer in the UK this year has been a brief affair, so it comes as no surprise that nearly two-thirds of British expats think about the weather when planning their moves abroad. But sunshine isn’t the only factor prospective expats should consider.
Greece shows that nice weather is not the only thing that counts when moving abroad: even though 81% of expats considered the climate a potential benefit, the country is not very popular among expats in general.
The country does especially poorly in terms of working abroad and personal finance: only a quarter of respondents are generally satisfied with their financial situation, in contrast to 64% globally.
What is more, 45% worry about their job security, which is more than twice the global average (22%).
Greece also is not a great choice for families: only 15% of expat parents in Greece find the education options numerous and easy to get, and not one respondent agrees completely with this statement.
