Everyone has to leave home at some point. But rather than head across the country, some people head across the world in search of greener pastures.

Choosing where to go can be an overwhelming decision. HSBC Expat is making that decision a whole lot easier thanks to its annual survey of 25,000 expats around the world.

The survey, released Monday, reveals the best places to live in the world to earn the highest income as an expat. While U.S. cities like San Francisco and New York made the top ten, it seems the direction to move is east. Asian cities made up four of the top ten cities for expat incomes.

We pulled out the top 30 cities for expat incomes, all of which are above the global average of $99,903. Have a look - you might find your new home.
