Spain 

Spain is a popular choice among American retirees. With low food costs, natural beauty and basically no winter, Spain is a great choice for those who are eager to travel around Europe. If you want to apply for a “retirement visa” in Spain, you have to show proof that you have an income of at least $2,500 per month, which is $30,000 a year.

Also, you need to make sure that you have active health insurance that works in Spain. While it might take a few appointments to obtain your foreign visitor number, it’s absolutely necessary for everything from opening a bank account to installing internet in your house, after you’ve managed to pass the bureaucratic nonsense, enjoy the easy life!
