The best places in the world to retire in 2017

International Living’s editors, contributors and contacts around the world analysed data to choose the 10 best countries to retire in.

Ten categories from cost of living, visas, residence and climate, were looked at to decide which country would offer retirees what they were after.

If you are looking to retire overseas, it’s a good idea to visit the destination for a holiday first to see how you would adapt to a lifestyle there.

Dan Prescher from International Living said, “Profile yourself ruthlessly about what you really want in a place. Find out what you can and can’t live without.”

Here are the top 10 countries in the world to write in:

1. Mexico

2. Panama

3. Ecuador

4. Costa Rica

5. Colombia

6. Malaysia

7. Spain

8. Nicaragua

9. Portugal

10. Malta
