These are the safest countries for expats

Moving abroad can be a fantastic adventure. But not every country is equally safe to live in. Before you take the big step, it is not a bad idea to see which countries are safe.

A survey by InterNations, a worldwide network of expats and entrepreneurs, has produced a list of eleven countries that would be the safest. InterNations asked more than 14,000 members for their opinion. They rated 43 aspects of their lives from 1 to 7. The participants represent 174 nationalities and live in 191 different countries or territories. Some countries shine because of their absence, such as Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom. The United States is also missing.

The safest countries for expats:

1. Luxembourg
2. Singapore
3. Japan
4. Canada
5. Malta
6. Switzerland
7. Norway
8. New Zealand
9. Finland
10. Taiwan
11. Oman
