Malaysia has secured the seventh spot in International Living’s 2025 Annual Global Retirement Index, ranking among the top 10 countries for retirement. The Ireland-based magazine evaluated 20 countries based on cost of living, healthcare, visa options, climate, governance, and lifestyle, with Malaysia and Thailand (10th) as the only Southeast Asian nations listed.
The report praises Malaysia’s affordability, modern infrastructure, and multicultural appeal, noting low rental costs in Kuala Lumpur (US$300–500/month) and cheap dining (US$2–3/meal). Cities like Penang and Melaka offer even lower costs and a relaxed vibe. The “Malaysia My Second Home” visa and tropical climate further enhance its retiree-friendly status. Panama leads the index, followed by Portugal, Costa Rica, Mexico, France, Spain, Greece, and Italy
