Stunning destinations around the world that will pay YOU up to £32k to move there – The Sun

BEFORE you choose where to move house next, looking further afield could help your bank balance.

A number of destinations around the world are paying people to live and work there – with some locations being on beautiful islands around the world.

Many of the locations are looking to increase their dwindling population, be it with young couples of families.

Others are wanting to improve a certain industry sector of jobs, such as entrepreneurs or start ups.

Some are offering up to £32,000 to move to a new location, with beautiful countries such as Italy, Greece and the US on the list.

We’ve rounded up some of the best places to move – where you can make money out of doing it.

Antikythera, Greece

9

The island of Antikythera is looking for new locals to live there, due to the younger population leaving for more opportunities on the busier Greek islands.

Located between Crete and Kythira, it is 45 minutes by plane from Athens.

The remote isle is home to just 24 people – which increases to 40 people during the summer – and is offering €500 (£450) per month for three years to move there, which works out to £16,200 over the three years.

Candela, Italy

9

A tiny town in Puglia, Candela is offering up to €2,000 (£1,800) for people to move there after the population has dropped from 8,000 to just 2,700 people.

How much you would receive depends on who you are moving with – €800 (£723) for single people, €1,200 (£1,085) for couples, up to €1,800 (£1,600) for three-person families and €2,000 (£1,800) for four-person families.

The only catch is you must become a resident, along with a house and a job of at least €7,500 (£6,700)a day.

Sicily, Italy

Also in Italy, Sicily offered homes for just €1 (90p), with the only catch being the amount that had to be paid to renovate them.

The Palermo homes are in need of TLC, meaning at least €15,000 (£13,500) must be paid to refurbish them.

It must also be renovated in three years to join the 11,000 locals.

It isn’t the first time this has been done – Sardinia also tried the same scheme last year.

Vermont, US

9

The state of Vermont has one of the lowest populations in the US, which is why they are hoping to lure remote workers to the area.

Their Remote Worker Grant scheme will offer applicants $5,000 (£4,000) every year for two years to live there – working out to $10,000 (£8,000) to cover moving to the area.

The lucky applicants must become a full time resident of the state to be eligible.

Tulsa, US

Tulsa is also struggling with population numbers in the US, and has a similar remote worker programme.

The second city of Oklahoma will offer $10,000 (£8,000) upfront to get there, as well as a desk at a co-working office and a monthly housing stipend.

As long as you are at least 18 years old and can work self-employed in the US, you are eligible.

Santiago, Chile

9

The best offer to move abroad is to Santiago in Chile – which is offering $40,000 (£32,700) to move there.

The government wants tech entrepreneurs to launch their business there, with the Start-Up Chile programme looking for female founders and founders with companies less than there years old.

The offer also includes a year-long work visa as well as a free co-working space.

Maine, US

9

While they won’t pay you to move there, Maine is tackling the problem of student debt.

For example, the tax relief scheme works so that if you pay $2,500 (£2,000) in tax and $2,000 (£1,600) in student debt, you would only pay that $500 (£400) difference.

STEM graduates would be given money back from the government if they pay more of their loan than their taxes.

You could be paid £3,000 per month to live on an island in Chile while working as a conservationist.

Lady Kristyna Drummond-Hay wanted six students to work alongside her, with meals included.

One family were offering the dream job – to be paid £80,000 taking photographs of their travels.
