Pros of Retiring in the Netherlands
High Standard of Living
The Netherlands is consistently voted one of the best places to live in the world, and the Dutch people are some of the happiest people too. The World Happiness Report, which is released every year, looks at several factors such as levels of income, life expectancy, social support, environment, and others – and the Netherlands has been voted one of the top 5 countries for a decade.

Alongside social factors, there is also the fact that it is one of the most beautiful places in the world to live. With gorgeous towns and cities, a yearly tulip festival to enjoy, and those iconic windmills dotting the landscape, it will be a feast for the eyes every time you step outside.

Another reason that makes the Netherlands a fantastic place to retire to is the moderate climate which provides cold winters with snow, but hot summers to enjoy many outdoor pursuits and soak up the cities.

Healthcare System
The public healthcare system in the Netherlands is one of the best in the world. However, healthcare in the Netherlands is not free, and you will need to purchase private healthcare insurance to cover this. Healthcare, particularly in later life, is important when deciding where to live, and a worldrenowned healthcare system is a great reason to choose the country.

Although healthcare in the Netherlands is not free, if you are retiring from the United States, you will find that basic health insurance is much more affordable than in the U.S., which is another great reason to retire here.

While the average Dutch will spend around 100 euros (around 110 dollars) for private health insurance, the average American spends more than 4 times that value, meaning $456 dollars.
