"The results show Asia to be the leading destination for expat quality of life, with the region also emerging as an expat social hotspot," HSBC Expat Head Dean Blackburn said.

With a record number of them participating this year, the Expat Explorer survey provided an even more comprehensive picture of life abroad, the challenges they faced and the idiosyncrasies that make the their experience unique, Blackburn added.

The survey, commissioned by HSBC Expat and conducted by independent research company YouGov, questioned 7,004 expats through an online survey.

On India, the survey said the positive attitudes of the local people were appreciated with seven in 10 (71 per cent) commenting on their friendliness.

Moreover, they also enjoy a more active social life in India compared to other countries.

The heat and cuisine makes adjusting to the culture slightly more difficult for the expatriates, says the study.
