Life in The Dominican Republic
Although there are many who claim it is possible to stay in the country for a thousand bucks a month, you need $1500 to get a long-term visa. Rent tends to cost more in the expat and tourist areas, so you will want to live somewhere else if you want to save some money. In Santo Domingo, you can get a one-bedroom apartment for $415, although you can get one outside of the city at only $250. Utilities for two will cost around $65, but keep in mind that the internet is not exactly cheap at $50. Healthcare is excellent and accessible, which is definitely a plus. Many expats go with private healthcare providers as the public facilities tend to come with long lines. You are not likely to get bored since there are plenty of things to fill your time with. Whale watching, golf clubs, resorts, mangrove forests, and petroglyph caves are all waiting for you!

Italy
Italy sure sounds like an ideal place. You might think that it is impossible to live in this country on the proposed budget, but it is actually doable as long as you do not live in touristy places like Umbria and Tuscany. You will be glad to hear that you will not have trouble finding entertainment for free over here. You don’t have to pay anything to go to the beaches and national parks! Movies only cost $4 per ticket, but we doubt you will go to the cinemas when there are loads of beautiful things to go see and do.
