About these cities

About Comilla

Comilla is dirt cheap, with a 1-bedroom city centre flat at $101/mo and a single adult scraping by on $142/mo, but you get what you pay for. Air quality sits at 140, healthcare is poor, English is limited, and the expat community is very few, so this is not a soft landing. The 77/100 expat score and 79/100 FIRE score flatter a place that suits only the most self-sufficient budget obsessives.

About Bangladesh

No retirement or digital nomad visa exists, and Bangladesh offers no path to residency or citizenship without a hard slog, so this only works for the truly budget-obsessed. Rent outside the center runs $49/mo and monthly costs excluding rent sit at $348.6, numbers no other Asian market touches. Safety Index of 38.4 and a Level 2 travel advisory mean this suits only extreme-savings FIRE types willing to trade comfort for rock-bottom burn rate.
