The Best Places in the World to Retire in 2025 Workshop

[SONDRASMILES1]

We don't speak any language but English. I've tried to learn, but perhaps we need better tools. I know a few words of Spanish. I have health issues that require a combination of regular and alternative treatments and meds. And we'd like a place with moderate temps that is affordable and maybe within an hour of a beach. Is all that even realistic in any of these destinations? If we visit places first, do you offer help to visit the best areas to live for expats?

Will you be sending a zoom link, or just show up here tomorrow?

One of my basic concerns would be availability and cost of health insurance for me 73 and my wife 70 years old.
Also the offers of a 2 bedroom & 2 bathroom apartment , house or similar.
Where to find B&B at reasonable prices to rent while scouting the areas. Car rentals too.

Hello! We are considering retiring to either France, Mexico, Panama or Portugal. Visas can be somewhat tricky. Do you recommend an immigration attorney to assist us with this process? If so, would that be an attorney in the U.S. or in the country we are considering? And how do we get a list of knowledgeable and reputable attornies? Also, I read that it is advisable to get an attorney to review home or apartment rental contracts since laws vary in these countries. How would we get a good attorney for this process as well? Thank you!

Hello! We are considering retiring to either France, Mexico, Panama or Portugal. Visas can be tricky. Do you recommend consulting an immigration attorney first? And would they be attornies in the U.S. or the country we are interested in? And how do we find these attornies? A similar question relates to renting a home or apartment. I read that it is a good idea to have a local attorney review the contract since countries have very different laws related to this process. Any thoughts or information would be greatly appreciated.

what are the financial requirements for residency as a couple in Panama?

What about moving? I mean physically. Do you recommend shipping all your furniture, appliances, books, cd's, etc. Or should you just dump all that and start from scratch?
What type of electricity is available in these 5 places?
Is online shopping easy and reasonable abroad? During covid I got used to using Amazon a lot. I know Walmart and other common US stores have an international presence, Can I shop online with them? What about HSN and QVC?

Is it practical, or safe, to drive from the US to Panama?

I know that Italy isn’t one of the countries being discussed today, but it was just on the news that there were certain towns there that are selling houses for a dollar. Do you have any information/knowledge about this?

Are you talking Euro or US Dollar? Really, it doesn't matter. I would say, yes, that's plenty to live on in Ireland. I'm in Ireland right now -- and am tracking down some Americans living here who can give us some firsthand insights. Watch your magazine.
