Tunisia has emerged as one of the top destinations for French retirees, standing sixth in the 2024 Retirement Paradise Classification issued by the specialized site “Retraite Sans Frontières.”
This annual ranking, highly anticipated by French retirees considering relocation, assesses various criteria, including the cost of living, climate, and quality of medical care.
Tunisia stood out thanks to its warm welcome, its closeness to France and its infrastructure adapted to seniors.
Why choose Tunisia for your retirement?
Tunisia attracts many French retirees due to its geographic proximity compared to France but not only!
Tunisia, a country of jasmine, with its tempered atmosphere by the Mediterranean and the generalized use of the French language, offers an agreeable living environment. The “Retraite Sans Frontières” site underlines Tunisian cultural wealth, whether through its historical remains or its contemporary artistic events, such as festivals and gastronomy.
In addition to its heritage, Tunisia is acknowledged for the quality of its health and well-being infrastructure, such as thalassotherapy, spas and specialized clinics for seniors. In terms of personal services, Tunisia presents quality services at affordable prices, including domestic maintenance, cooking and cleaning.
Another important advantage is the purchasing power of expatriate retirees in Tunisia. According to the current woman (June 2023), a French retiree can hope for a 30 % gain in purchasing power by residing in Tunisia, against only 5 to 8 % in Spain or 15 to 20 % in Portugal or Greece.
An attractive and fiscally advantageous living environment
The Union of French People from abroad (UFE) underlines that Tunisia is drawing more and more French retirees thanks to its cost of low living and its advantageous tax system. By settling in Tunisia, retirees have a high standard of living without eating their budget.
In addition, security and ease of integration are decisive factors that assist to make Tunisia a popular destination for a serene retirement.
A reference record for retired expatriates
The 2024 classification of retirement paradises, established by “retirement without borders”, places Portugal in mind, followed by Spain and Greece.
This record is established on a fine analysis of 12 criteria such as climate, safety, quality of medical care and the price of real estate.
In conclusion, Tunisia, with its many advantages, is positioned as an ideal destination for retirees in search of the sweetness of life, security and tax advantages.
