9 PLACES THAT PAY YOU TO LIVE IN THEM
Today we can find several opportunities that allow us to travel cheaper around the world, and either because you want to know new destinations, give yourself a well-deserved vacation, or you decided to go to study in another country, or you want to do some volunteer work, or because your dream is to become a digital nomad or simply because you are going to enroll in an AU Pair program.
All the above options are valid for those who love to travel. However, while traveling frequently or having a great experience abroad can work for many, many others wish they could totally change the landscape, without having to go from one place to another every couple of months or annually. And in these cases, the option of moving to another country could be the solution.
So, if you belong to this last group you are in luck, since the world today is very well connected and there are many opportunities that could help you fulfill your dream. And to help you with that, we bring you a complete list of countries that would pay you to move to their territory. Yes, you read that right! They offer you money and other incentives if you decide to go live in any of the countries on our list.
We know that many would love to leave their native country and have an incredible adventure and experience, exploring a completely new and different place, but not everyone has the necessary funds to make it possible (moving abroad involves legal procedures, transportation of goods, taxes and a long etcetera).
For this reason, in addition to the money supply, many of these countries also offer extra incentives, such as lower taxes and lower housing costs, among others. All this, of course, as long as you meet the prerequisites requested by each of them.
Without further ado and below, the full list:
1 - ALASKA - UNITED STATES
If you live within the United States, or if you are applying for residency or citizenship, perhaps you could consider moving to Alaska.
Due to the weather, this is probably not one of the most popular options. However, in addition to being one of the 7 states in which income tax is not paid, for several decades now, Alaska also offers a minimum annual payment of $ 800.00, to those who decide to move there permanently.
To apply for this offer, you must have lived in Alaska for at least one year and once you are accepted, you must remain within the territory for at least 190 days, each year.
2 - SASKATCHEWAN - CANADA
If you graduated from college after 2011, you could apply for this offer to live in Saskatchewan, Canada.
This great opportunity consists of tuition refunds of up to C $ 20,000 (in the form of non-refundable tax credits), which are paid over 7 to 10 years, and during which you must live in Saskatchewan.
The application process to the program is easy and fast and if the application is approved, you can move immediately. The only requirement is that the school or university you graduated from is on the list of institutions approved by the Government of Canada.
3 - DENMARK
Denmark does not offer money for you to move, but its offer is specifically aimed at people with established businesses or new entrepreneurs, and it consists of providing access to their health systems (immediately), for those who decide to move to their territory.
It is worth mentioning that Denmark's health and welfare system is one of the most generous in the world and as a member of the European Union, those who move to this country would also gain access to one of the largest markets on the planet.

Candela has gone from having more than 8,000 inhabitants to less than 3,000, so the mayor has decided to offer monetary incentives to young people who decide to move to this territory.
Incentives range from around € 800 for single people to over € 2,000 for families of 4 or more. Additionally, they could also offer tax credits and nurseries, among other things.
The requirements to apply are to rent or buy a home in the area, and to get a job that pays a minimum of 7,500 euros per year (approximately 700.00 US dollars per month). Not bad at all, right?
