Belize 

If you’ve always dreamed of Caribbean vibes, beautiful nature, and beaches, Belize is the ideal destination. It’s an English-speaking nation, so from this point of view, you won’t have any problems adjusting to the environment. If you’re in good health, you can become a resident of this country.

After staying for the required 50 weeks, you have to apply for residency and prove you can annually transfer $24,000 into a Belize bank account. Even so, it’s recommended to stay away from border towns, isolated regions, or Belize City, as it has a higher criminal rate.

Also, officials here will prefer to see your income stream coming from Social Security benefits, a pension plan, and/or a 401(k)or IRA.
