Kuwait was seen as the worst country to live an expat for the 2nd consecutive year.
There are only six countries that beat Britain as being one of the worst places to live in the world, according to the major benchmark Expat Insider 2019 report.
An expat is defined as an employee sent abroad on a corporate assignment or classed as a new international hire. The survey ran from 7 to 28 March. Respondents were asked to score 48 different factors — which fall into 17 subcategories — related to living abroad.

Brexit helped drag Britain down the index with expats scoring Russia higher as an overall better place to live. That’s even though expats struggle with the language, hampering their ability to settle in — nearly double the global average.
