How the Raw Value Is Calculated

The raw value is a 0-100 point value for practical welcome culture toward expats, foreign residents and longer-stay travelers. 100 means a very open and usable everyday environment; 0 means strongly unwelcoming or barely usable conditions.

The calculation combines six blocks: existing Nomadino welcome values count for 34%, integration context 18%, social openness and tolerance 17%, visible expat community and migration reality 15%, language accessibility 8%, and rule-of-law, freedom and governance context 8%.

Public anchors include Gallup migrant acceptance, World Values Survey and European Values Study, V-Dem, World Bank governance indicators, MIPEX, InterNations and World Bank/UN migration data. For small countries and territories without full coverage, Nomadino uses maintained replacements aligned with those source families.

Countries with very open migration and expat practice receive a limited bonus. Strongly closed, unstable or repressive countries are capped so isolated positive sub-values do not overstate real everyday usability.

Values are stretched to the current Nomadino country comparison. The rating equals the rounded raw value; higher values improve the ranking.
