Very interesting options in France! My wife and I are not quite retirement age, but one can always dream! Going to spend some time looking up "retiring in France" today. Or even better - "retiring early in France and opening your own coffee shop / business"! It's -1 today in Vermont.

I'll play
I currently live on Long Island, and am within a few long years of ending my legal career. I've been all over this country, and am thinking of southern New England; coastal CT or RI for my retirement. My family has always spent summers in NE and my daughter attends college in Newport. I'm less tolerant of harsh winters, but even lesser tolerant of heat and humidity. I don't think I can hibernate in A/C for 12+ hours a day for 3-4 months when it looks nice outside my window. I've looked at some southern cities and college towns in the boonies, and they all have their pluses (lower cost of living and more space), but I'm drawn to the ocean, and find riding near the coast a necessity. RI puts me within driving distance of family in NY and Boston along with the healthcare facilities that I hope I'll never need. So, that's my plan unless someone in Mill Valley, CA wants to gift me a home and an annuity to pay taxes.

Have you considered a place in Boca Del Vista? I mean if you can get in...

For those recommending retirement within the Schengen Zone
Does this presupposes that one could easily obtain an EU passport?
If not, are the suggestion relying upon something similar to a EB-5 visa? Otherwise I can't imagine why a country would let someone near retirement immigrate and use its resources? |

I don’t expect that one could easily obtain a passport, nor am I convinced that would be the best approach, at least in France. The issue of being a resident alien is complex and requires different visas depending on duration. In any case, there it is expected that the applicant demonstrate that resources exist to support living there, though I understand that once established, one can participate in things like the medical system. But yes, they certainly aren’t looking for sponges.
