The top country that Brits are choosing to move to has been revealed – and it’s not sunny Spain.

According to data from 1st Move International, the United States has taken home the crown for the most popular place to move to.

1st Move International said: “The US is a diverse place full of opportunity, suitable for any stage of life, whether you’re still in education, looking to start a business, or simply craving your next adventure.

“Also, the lack of a language barrier for UK residents makes the transition more manageable.”

Australia is second on the list for British expats, with 1st Move International explaining: “Similar to the US, the lack of a language barrier for UK residents makes Australia an incredibly attractive opportunity.

“Combined with the weather, a stark contrast to the UK, travelling across the world to find your new home is irresistible.”

Coming in third place is Dubai, a location thats rising in popularity for Brits looking to relocate.

Ist Move said: “One of the most popular places in the UAE to relocate to is Dubai, its most populous country. Dubai has become a popular tourist destination in recent years.

“However, it offers expats several benefits. It’s sunny, modern, and safe, making it suitable for families. Dubai also has no income tax, making your take-home income considerably higher.”

The list is rounded out by Canada in fourth place and New Zealand in fifth. Next is Cyprus, South Africa, Singapore, Saudi Arabia and finally the Cayman Islands.

When it comes to the most globally popular destination for people to relocate to, Canada came out on top, with Australia coming in as second most popular.
