3 bedrooms apartment cost $352 while a 1 bedroom one outside the city center costs $189. Kazakhstan is a beautiful country that we strongly recommend, even if you live and work abroad for a year; you’ll have a nice inexpensive experience.
Nepal

Nepal is a country situated in South Asia that used to have a higher ranking in this list if it wasn’t for some countries who have managed to lower their cost of living.
Usually, living in the capital city of any country can be a financial burden, but not in Nepal. In updated statistics concerning the cost of living in Nepal, it is indicated that having a meal in a rather inexpensive restaurant will not cost more than $2.24. Also, a cup of cappuccino may not cost more than 2 dollars.
A one-way ticket is surprisingly cheap at $0.18; while renting a one bedroom apartment costs $90, or if you want a 3 bedrooms one at $167. Moreover, prices for goods are far from being soaring: 1 liter of milk can be purchased for $0.67 and 12 eggs for a dollar and a half.
In case you want to have a treat made out of chicken breast, you can get some for $3.80/ kilogram. Tomatoes, potatoes, and onions don’t cost much as well (hovering around $0.50).

What’s really distinct about Zambia is the fact that the rent in the country is high while everything else is affordable. It is inexpensive when it comes to grocery shopping. 1 liter of milk costs around a dollar, white rice is around $1.43 for kilograms. You can get tomatoes and potatoes for around $0.60 while onions are more expensive for $0.79.
Surprisingly, lettuce is even expensive for $0.86. Now, let’s talk about rent, which is really expensive: an apartment outside city center may cost around $213 (only with one bedroom); while a 3 bedrooms apartment may cost a whopping $618.
That’s why some recommend against Zambia, since whatever you save in buying grocery and transportations you will spend it on rent. Furthermore, it may not also offer the best medical coverage in the world since the country is struggling with the basics including access to water.
