The word globe trotter has found its way into social media bios among other places. While those financially strong can easily live their dreams of travelling to various parts of the world, the middle class and the have-nots are not so fortunate. For many of us, travelling remains a dream. What if we told you that the governments of some countries actually pay you or give you incentives to stay there? Every city, state, and nation has its own plans to lure in newcomers with financial incentives, but some of the most prevalent ones are a declining population, a failing economy, run-down housing, and more. Let us tell you about 5 countries which, because of their various incentives, can be called nothing short of heaven on earth
Alaska
Alaska also provides a nice financial incentive to potential residents. Here approximately $2,072 (approximately Rs 1.5 lakh) is given by the government every year. The Permanent Fund Dividend was created in 1976 as a means of distributing the state’s oil earnings to Alaskans living in the area. The incentive is available to anyone who resides in Alaska for the whole dividend year. Alaskans earned $3,284 in 2022. Even better, there are no taxes in Alaska at all.
Vermont
This mountainous US state is known for producing cheddar cheese and the famous Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. The natural view here is worth seeing. Vermont offers financial incentives to remote workers. This state Remote Worker Grant Program offers applicants $10,000 (approximately Rs 7.4 lakh) for 2 years.
Albinen, Switzerland
The government provides financial aid to anybody who chooses to relocate to this community encircled by stunning Swiss mountains. For youth under 45, the government will provide Rs 20 lakh, and for each child, Rs 8 lakh. The requirement is that you must remain there for a minimum of ten years.
Antikythera
The Greek island of Antikythera is attempting to grow its population. On this island, the government extends a warm welcome to visitors from throughout the globe. For the first three years after moving to this island, a resident is paid approximately Rs 40,000 per month. They also receive housing or land.
Ponga
Ponga is a tiny town in northern Spain’s hilly region. Ponga is a newlywed’s dream come true. Here, several different kinds of financial programmes are offered to help young couples get married. Young couples can travel there for about Rs 3 lakh, or about $3,600. Every child born here also receives $3,600 in addition to this.
