With a population of around 86,000 people, the Isle of Man most likely boasts the highest percentage of South African expats in the world, with figures currently sitting at around 10% of the population, says Marnie Delaney-Parker, director at IOM Opportunities.

Situated between the UK and Ireland, the isle is fifty-two kilometres long and twenty-two kilometres at its widest point, meaning it would fit into South Africa over two thousand times.

“The Isle of Man has its own immigration rules, that focus on attracting businesses, innovators, and needed talent. It excels by not following the ‘normal’ eligibility criteria that so many other popular emigration countries follow, such as the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada who all work under a strict immigration policy making it sometimes difficult to emigrate to.

She added that major South African companies such as Nedbank, Standard Bank, Microgaming and Derivco have all set up homes on the island.
