Here’s something I did not know until I moved here: France is one of the easiest countries to qualify for a long-stay visa (currently the SMIC, which you have to exceed, is just over 16K Euro per year, whereas the similar requirement for Spain is over 27K per year, which is out of reach for many retirees, particularly women, who may have lower Social Security income due to lower wages or gaps in their earnings). Also, France doesn’t tax your Social Security OR your investment income, while Spain taxes both. Granted the costs can be lower in Spain and arguably the quality of life is higher, but it’s important to do an analysis of all the options — and after all, once you get permanent residency in one EU country, you can move on to another. So it’s good to know what’s out there.

Forget visas we need fast track citizenships while we can still escape.

Another honorable mention is Nicaragua. I am pension resident at 40 years old. I have been a resident for about 3 years now. Most of the time the retirement visas you have to be around 45 years old. I did some research years ago when I wanted to make Latin America or another place in the world my home. There is a clause and exception to the age requirement for the retirement visa for people with disabilities or who receive a pension/social security from a disability. I, myself, have a mild case of a disability that has held me back from earning money full time. So I decided to work as an English Teacher part time in Nicaragua .... then applied for the retirement visa after I decided I was going to stay here. I got it and live very comfortably. I still tutor and teach online part time. Originally, I planned on another country like Costa Rica, Panama, Ecuador, or Colombia; though, other life plans happened, I fell in love and started a family.
One thing I believe that you should mention about the retirement visa are the exception on people with disabilities receiving a pension/social security. Depending on how severe the disability, people can have a better quality of life than their home country. Mine is the USA. I brought my grandmother down to join me so she can live better life down her, too. It can be done. Too many people with disabilities feel like they few choices. Anything is possible!

Thank you ever so much Kristin. As a seasoned world traveller who's approaching retirement age, this video has been most valuable in exploring retirement abroad options. With only $1100 in social security to survive, retirement abroad makes a lot more sense. Most grateful for all you do.

Add. Philippines 🇵🇭. Although I a San Francisco native 🌁, I have been traveling to and from there for more than 20 years. I was there last year, 2022.

I just got back from Georgia two weeks ago, and it is such a beautiful country! Although the traffic in Tbilisi can be a little hectic, it was a really neat city to explore. The rest of the country was incredibly scenic with breathtaking landscapes, delicious (and affordable food), and very friendly people. I would love to go back one of these days! The other places look awesome too like Mexico, Colombia, Albania, and Portugal!

One other thing to consider is that France, Spain, and the Netherlands have overseas territories. France and the Netherlands have territories in the Americas, most of which are in the Caribbean. The United Kingdom also has overseas territories but they work a little differently. The general idea is the same: if you can afford to live there, then you can use those locations to establish residency and (if desired) citizenship with the mother country- backdoors into UK/EU citizenship.

Albania offers Americans a 365-day visa -- that's a great deal. It's the most no-fuss zero-bureaucratic visa there is.

Another great place to live is Philippines. Over 7000 tropical islands to choose from, and they speak English, too. Very friendly place for Americans ex-pats.

Well-done video Kristen! Many people underestimate Southern Italy. Fantastic weather, food & people! Housing can be very inexpensive outside of the big cities & tourist areas. You should give it a look.
