Ecuador 

Ecuador is one of the top countries chosen for retirement, thanks to its pristine natural surroundings, busy cities, and charming historical towns. As a visitor, you can only stay for 90 days, but you can apply for a pensioner residency visa at any Ecuadorean consulate in the U.S.

The extended visa will require proof that you’ll be receiving $800 or more every month from a recognized pension source, as International Living magazine is suggesting. But the once the visa is approved, you’ll have to go and sign up for public or private health insurance.

Also, Ecuador’s political forecast is sunnier than ever these days, so if you dream of its dreamy landscapes, politics won’t be an issue for you while living there.
