On Thursday, International Living magazine launched its 2020 list of the best countries to retire abroad, and Portugal snagged the No. 1 spot, making high marks for quality health care, a sensible cost of living and the ease with which you can fit into life there (people are friendly, and, while it’s not an English-speaking nation, lots of residents speak English).

To rank these countries, the publication asked its correspondents and on-the-ground specialists living in 24 different nations to rank their countries based on housing, benefits/discounts, visas/residency, ease of fitting in, development, climate, health care, governance, expense of living and other factors.
