Here are the best choices if you wish to become a resident of another country than the United States of America. The essential qualities are perfect quality of life, good hospitals, good education, and low crime.
If you wish to leave America, it is worth thinking about what you want to do with your life. Which lifestyle suits you more: laid-back South America, party life in Southeast Asia, or European culture? Do you have a remote job that guarantees an American salary so you can live relatively well in many countries? Or would you like to find a job? Or can you start a business and be ready to invest some money?
Let's examine three residency permit solutions: affordable, fast, and among the best. These programs all lead to citizenship.
Residence in Austria for Financially Independent Applicants
You can become a resident in the neutral European Union Member State if you prove that you earn at least 1,900 euros/month or deposit 22,800 euros in a local bank. You also must speak basic German. The necessary A1 level is more than reachable with a bit of learning. Note: In Austria, you do not have to invest; you only need to show that you have enough money to live there.

Hungary Guest Investor Visa
The Hungarian Guest Investor Visa is the newest EU residency by investment program. You must invest 250,000 euros into a licensed real estate investment fund to receive a ten-year renewable residency permit. Click here for the details!
Paraguay Temporary and Permanent Residency
As a US citizen, you can quickly become a temporary and later permanent resident of Paraguay. However, you must be present five times before you reach permanent status. If you wish to live in Paraguay or become a permanent resident, you can invest 70,000 USD in your business and receive permanent status without the temporary period.
Austria and Hungary are EU Member States, and the European residents can visit and stay in other Schengen zone countries. Meanwhile, Paraguay is a Mercosur Member State, and as a resident, you can enjoy all the advantages of South America.
