World-Class Coverage Starting from $500k Exclusive for SEA Residents
Asia is the world’s biggest continent. Known for its excellent culture, good climate, beautiful beaches, and a different way of life, it has been a haven for expatriates seeking fresh opportunities. According to a report, there are roughly 50 million expats worldwide and a large portion of these expats choose to move to Asian countries at a faster rate in recent years. For them, the countries in Asia reward a unique and exciting life abroad that is unparalleled to any other country in the world.
As stated by Brookfield Global Relocation Services, they found out that more than 50% of multi-nationals’ company revenues were produced overseas. Because Asia is getting competitive in the global startup scene, it is no surprise that big cities in Asia do not just captivate working expats but expat entrepreneurs as well. These expat-preneurs are becoming a relevant community globally.
Here are some reasons why Southeast Asia is popular among expat-prenuers:
- SEA’s flourishing growth as a relatively new market
- It has an ideal and safe geographic location.
- It has advantageous tax and business conditions.
- It has ever-increasing public interest in entrepreneurship.
Living in Southeast Asia
COST OF LIVING
In Southeast Asia, expats are attracted by their simpler and much affordable lifestyle as compared to Western countries. In other words, what would be a small income in the West allows expats to live large in Southeast Asia. Some of the amazingly cheap countries to live in Southeast Asia are Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Indonesia.
For example, living a luxury lifestyle is still quite affordable in Cambodia. If you want to rent an extravagant serviced apartment with 24-hour security, pool, gym, and cleaning service, it will only cost you $500 to $3,000 per month. But if you choose to live in a Cambodian style apartment in Phnom Penh, you will only pay $300 monthly. In Chiang Mai, many expats are living comfortably for around $1,000 per month and that includes housing, food, and all related costs.
LIFESTYLE
Cultural diversity is the notable feature of Southeast Asia which includes its wide variety of ethnic groups and languages. In this region, rice is a staple food that is accompanied by assorted shared side dishes served all at once. Another integral part of every Southeast Asian life is the hustling and bustling street food vendors from day to night. Eating out in the cities is exciting because locals and tourists will be satisfied with delicious delicacies. You can select from countless options available from street carts to simple food stalls that are extremely cheap.
In terms of urbanization, local infrastructure and economies are rapidly increasing. In 2015, Southeast Asia had 21 cities with over one million population and by 2025, the UN predicts it will have 15 more cities.
HEALTHCARE
Based on a report, the demand for healthcare in Southeast Asia is soaring high because of a growing population coming from other nations. In connection with this, medical tourism is aggressive to meet the evolving demands of their foreign patients.
In Thailand, Bangkok is the home to world-class hospitals with cutting-edge equipment. Malaysia is also providing quality health services to both local and international patients. Private healthcare in Southeast Asia is more sought after with regards to quality and competence compared with public health services. Patients can experience long waiting periods to get medical assistance in most public medical facilities.
That is why securing international healthcare for expats is a better choice to make sure their stay is hassle-free and comfortable. In case of emergency, they are guaranteed that someone will immediately attend to their concerns, respond to their questions in a familiar language, and ensure they get the best medical assistance and treatment whenever and wherever they need it.
