Survey asks 14,000 expats to rate which destinations offer great quality of life, financial prospects, among other factors
As of May 2016, data from 2.1 million individuals working abroad showed that the UAE is home to six per cent of the expatriate population on InterNations, one of the highest in the world.
The United States claims the top spot, hosting eight per cent of the expat community, while seven per cent found their new home in Germany and another six per cent settled in the United Kingdom.
The majority of expatriates, about eight out of ten of them who are living in one of these countries, find themselves generally satisfied with their life abroad.
InterNations is the author of the annual Expat Insider survey that looks into the living situation and happiness of 14,000 expatriates from around the world. In the latest 2015 edition, the UAE is ranked as the 19th top expat destination, beating popular hubs like United Kingdom, Hong Kong and Japan.
