InterNations cited that majority of expats in Thailand and the Philippines is in a relationship with a local resident. Several expats in Israel, Panama and Malta have an expat partner. Latin America and Asian nations are the most common destinations for expats who are looking for love. More expats travel to Panama (13 percent) and Indonesia (12 percent) due to their partner’s career, compared to the global average (9 percent). Expats in Panama, Malta, Mexico and Thailand also usually have partners from the same country of origin.

Overall, in almost all of the top 10 countries, more expats are in a committed relationship, compared to the global average of 62 percent. In the Philippines, 74 percent have a partner, which is the highest in the list. Single expats are also likely to find love in these nations. Expats in all 10 countries are more likely to disagree that their lifestyle makes it difficult to have and maintain a relationship.

Based on the same report by Malay Mail Online, more single expatriates searching for a partner are more likely to find one in Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand, which showed the highest percentage of expats who reported finding their partner in their new host country. The total showed that there were more female respondents in Malta, Israel and Portugal, while there were more male respondents in Thailand and the Philippines.

Among the top 10 countries, the average age of respondents was between three and 12 years over the general survey population, which is 40.9 years old. Majority of respondents in the Philippines, Ecuador and Costa Rica were at least 51 years old. Overall, 53 percent of respondents were women, while 47 percent were men.
