About these cities

About Koror

Koror is a pricey outlier for what you get. With a local salary averaging just $788/mo but a comfortable lifestyle costing $3,200/mo, the math is brutal unless you're earning dollars remotely. The $199/mo internet and $80/mo gym fees sting, and the tropical climate means frequent typhoons. It's a niche pick for digital nomads with high remote income, not a budget-friendly Pacific escape.

About Palau

Political stability and no national income tax make Palau appealing on paper, but there is no retirement or digital nomad visa, so residency stays informal despite a clear residency pathway. This suits someone already holding legal work or family ties there who wants tax efficiency without chasing visa runs. Bad fit for anyone needing structured healthcare (index 45), fast internet, or a structured visa route for retirement or remote work.
