The Essentials
Countries That Will Pay You to Move There
More and more Americans are leaving the U.S. — not just to vacation, but to live. And a number of countries may actually pay you to move there.
Spain will pay up to $17,000 not just to move there, but to live in depopulated villages in Asturias and Galicia.
Moving with kids? Japan will offer up to $7,500 per child and, in some cases, a free renovated home.
If you’re under 45, Switzerland is offering up to $30,000 to move to a village.
If you want to live in Calabria, Italy will pay up to $30,000, plus $800 a month.
Of course, there are some restrictions.
