Some Brits even choose to retire overseas as expats with Spain one of the most popular options.<\/p>\n<p>But while Britons might be able to save by retiring to a cheaper country, there are a few countries that are far pricier than the UK for retirees.<\/p>\n<p>According to research from Sambla, Switzerland is the world\u2019s most expensive country for retirees with a cost of living of over \u00a31,000 per month.<\/p>\n<p>On average, Swiss retirees will need to have a retirement fund of around \u00a3248,102 to retire comfortably. Although Swiss wages are generally high, the cost of living is steep.<\/p>\n<p>According to Numbeo, a cappuccino at a cafe in Switzerland could cost as much as \u00a34.36 while a pint of local beer could come to \u00a36.33.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> READ MORE <\/strong> <strong>The gorgeous island paradise that\u2019s 28 degrees in December<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/25\/590x\/secondary\/Switzerland-5063443.jpg?r=1699877744670\"><\/p>\n<p>\u200cMonaco was named the second most expensive country in the world for retirees. The tiny country is known as a billionaires\u2019 playground, so it\u2019s hardly surprising it\u2019s an expensive place to retire.<\/p>\n<p>Retirees in Monaco will need a retirement fund of around \u00a3212,881 to live comfortably. Many people who work in Monaco live outside the country due to its lack of space and high cost of living.<\/p>\n<p>Qatar took third place on the list with retirees requiring over \u00a3211,000 in a retirement fund to retire comfortably in the Middle Eastern country.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>\u2018Uncrowded\u2019 coast named one of the UK\u2019s prettiest staycation destinations[STAYCATION] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>The beautiful destination that\u2019s a top winter staycation[INSPIRATION] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>\u2018I searched for the best time to book a cheap flight to Tenerife\u2019[FLIGHTS] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/25\/590x\/secondary\/Qatar-5063447.jpg?r=1699877744754\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p>However, Qatar has a reasonably low cost of living compared to Monaco and Switzerland with monthly costs of just \u00a3556 for retirees.
