We love Spain too! Could Marsha let us know what kind of visa she got for living in Spain? Thanks!

Marsha came to Spain on the Non-Lucrative Visa. After five years, she was granted permanent residency.

I'm planning a move to France this year. How do I find and consult with a financial expert who can advise on the best way to set up or modify my current US investments and who knows both the US and French tax system?
@LLEE3303 We’ve checked in with Tuula Rampont, our expert in France, to get an answer to your question. This was her response,
Hello, for the financial expert to help you in France, you can contact Brian Dunhill at Dunhill Financial: https://www.dunhillfinancial.com/
For purely French tax assistance, Jonathan Hadida at Hadtax is the France / US tax person to use: https://www.hadtax.com/.

interested in France would like to know which insurance policies meet the visa requirements and will also comply with coverage in the US in case we return t9 the US in the future with preexisting conditions and dont want to have a coverage gap, even for a day? also about finding rentals for a year, how much in advance?
@MBAYMA We’ve checked in with Tuula Rampont, our expert in France, to get an answer to your question. This was her response,
Hello, there are several insurance policies that will meet the visa requirements. Here is a list of providers who have been used by visa applicants: Mondassur, Fab French Insurance, MAM Assurances, Cigna.
For the rentals, you only need three months of accomodation for the long-stay visa, otherwise I would recommend to secure a short-term rental before you arrive in France on a website like Morning Croissant, and then secure a long-term rental once you have arrived. This will be a more cost-effective step, and also allow you to explore the area before you commit to a one- to two-year rental. -
I am interested in an overall strategy in exploring one or a few countries to seriously consider relocation. I imagine the first step is to list my priorities as a SINGLE lady of 70 young years and research the internet for the practical basic needs like housing and Potential for Community Connection. Would you advise perhaps a month or so of travel in each country to update my gut level impressions? I have traveled in the past to Europe and Asia but the visits ranged no longer than days to a week.
Hi @AMHANDZEL25 We’ve checked in with Suzan Haskins, IL's Senior Lifestyle Editor, to get an answer to your question. This was her response,
I’d say you are on the right track with your thinking. And yes, we always recommend staying as long as you can in one place you are considering for relocation. A month is ideal; longer if you can. That’s the best way to get a good feel for a place, especially anything you might find challenging. Once you decide where you are going, reach out to one of the IL correspondents on this community site with any questions you have. Just select the country and post away…or email them directly at, for instance Panama@InternationalLiving.com, France@InternationalLiving.com, etc. They can explain…or a quick Google search can turn up…the visa timeline for any particular country. MOST countries will give you 90 days, but often you’ll need to tell the immigration officer you want that. They tend to assume most tourists are only staying for a week or two. Knowing the rules before you approach immigration is your best bet.

We always concern on health programs for people over 65. I red in some places we have to pay taxes on social security benefits coming from US? Documentation we need to get ready and how many months or years in advance to be prepare for the jump. What is the requirements in Italy for example.
Hi @LILROSA-2021 We’ve checked in with Suzan Haskins, IL's Senior Lifestyle Editor, to get an answer to your question. This was her response,
Hi there, you are at the right place to post your questions. Each country will have different options when it comes to healthcare so once you have narrowed down your country choice, reach out to one of the IL correspondents on this community site and ask them. Just select the country and post away… Same goes for taxes. Many countries (especially in Latin America) do not tax foreign residents on their foreign-earned income. Others, such as Spain, do. However, if your income is minimal, so will the tax you pay…and it will likely be offset by the benefits you receive. As for how far in advance you should start your planning, that’s a personal decision based on your personal circumstances. For example, do you have a home and belongings to sell, do you plan to ship any of your belongings or just pack suitcases and go, etc. etc. If you have specific questions about Italy, post them in the Italy section of this community site that you’ll find on the bar at right…or email Italy@InternationalLiving.com
