This ranking is illustrative and built for a single fixed reference profile (a US remote worker earning $90,000/yr and spending $45,000/yr). It uses live cost-of-living data and excludes income tax. Tax and visa indicators are generic informational bands, not per-passport rulings. This is not financial, tax or immigration advice — verify everything with official sources before relocating.
