About these cities

About Bingol

Bingol is a cheap place to live, with a 1-bedroom in the center at $220/mo and utilities at just $16/mo, but a local net salary of $750/mo means you are not moving here for the job market. The expat community is nonexistent, English proficiency is limited, and the nearest airport is 124 km away, so this is not a soft landing for a digital nomad or a retiree. The overall expat score of 77/100 and FIRE score of 79/100 look strong on paper, yet the retiree score of 49/100 and digital nomad score of 47/100 tell the real story: come for the low costs and the mountains, not for convenience or company.

About Turkey

Best for digital nomads meeting the $3,000/mo income requirement for Turkey’s dedicated visa. COL is 61% lower than NYC with a single monthly budget of $646.20 excluding rent. However, internists and a moderate political stability score pose risks for long-term stays.

About Al Jubayhah

Al Jubayhah is a genuinely cheap base for a single adult, with a budget tier running $427/mo and a one-bedroom outside the center at $212/mo, so your money stretches further here than in most of the region. The catch is the digital nomad score of 56/100 and average internet speed of 20 Mbps, which will test anyone whose income depends on video calls. Retirees get a better deal at 71/100, helped by a safety index of 74/100 and a fair healthcare rating, though the air quality index of 72 is nothing to brag about. Treat it as a quiet, affordable Amman-adjacent stop rather than a long-term remote-work hub.

About Jordan

Level 2 travel advisory and a US State Department warning make Jordan a tough sell for retirees seeking stability. Budget-focused expats willing to accept medium safety risk get real value: rent runs just $344.58/mo in the capital and monthly costs excluding rent sit at $669.7. A digital nomad visa is available, but PR is not available, so this fits temporary, cost-driven stays over long-term settlement.
