    Over here in the US, a bunch of Central American countries offer retirement visas, aiming at the American retiree market. Less-expensive, warm weather.

    8 Countries That Offer Retirement Visas

    These countries welcome American retirees with special programs and benefits.

    Countries around the world are looking to attract American retirees. Some countries have created visa policies specifically designed for retirees and in some cases offer special benefits and incentives for relocating. The most attractive retirement visas are usually found in Latin America, although a few Asian countries also offer appealing programs.

    Back when Brexit was being figured out, I remember seeing a lot of discussion about retired Brits living in Spain being unhappy about not knowing what the future held. I commented a few times on how if Spain didn’t run a retirement visa program, they might consider doing so; it sounded like a lot of elderly Brits liked living in Spain.

      Yeah but the question is, did the Spaniards like a lot of elderly Brits living in Spain? I can see them not bending over backwards for a clientele that may well have had a bad influence on local housing and cost of living ;)

        I do think that this is what happened in a lot of contexts. Decades of people traveling abroad and making a bad name for their country finally caught up.

      For Argentina, you just need to earn at least $500/month from a government-funded retirement (i.e. Social Security) of any sort and they’ll pretty much just give you a pensioner’s visa.
