Retiring in Europe: Can I Really Do It?
A stable governement? Most of the time, we do'nt have one...
I’m very interested in Poland.
All good and well but where are we supposed to find a house to live?
I live in Sweden and can say for most of you it will mean living living out your golden years in an apartment watching endless episodes of På Spåret and re-runs of Police Academy films as you wish for death. But if that is your thing then that's cool.
Sweet irony, totally lost on the average American.
Because they don't have to sell their house to pay the Dr's bill when they get sick.
No, don't come shit weather no houses and horrible people.
I've looked into moving to Sweden as a retiree and I'm not seeing a pathway.
Sweden is everything US citizens are taught to hate: egalitarian, socialist (republicans would say communist), state welfare system, woke, non-religious......and yet, it works quite well, not perfect.
Yeah, there will be more and more migrants. A lot more
Im a painter, do they need artists in Ireland?
Ireland is a great place to be an artist. Need? That is a strong word. :)
There is no German retirement visa...
Not specifically. However, with demonstrated financial security (via pension, SS, or other income), American retirees can obtain visas in Germany.
@ do you know if they have a specific # $ you have to meet bc I have all that
@ and do you know how to go about applying ?
@@garrett7101 There is no specific dollar (or euro) amount required, Germany simply requires you have means to support yourself (depends on your reason for being there and family size). If you are a single adult, the amount is pretty low (approximately 2000 eur/month plus some savings for emergencies). You will also need to obtain health insurance (this will be cheaper in Germany). There are numerous websites to help with the application process including www.germany-visa.org/immigration/residence-permit/ You can apply before traveling there (through the German Embassy or consulate near you) or travel to Germany with a 90-day tourist stay (schengen-zone) and apply once there by visiting the local Foreigners Authority (Ausländerbehörde) before the 90-day period expires.
@ thank you!
Very nice summary of the lifestyle in Sweden for US retirees. However, you forgot the most important thing...how is it possible? What is required?
We'd love to retire to the UK. In fact, we've looked into it. But, we are from the US, and our ancestors were early settlers. By the time my grandparents were born, their ancestors had already been here for at least three generations, mostly more. And, as I understand it, the cutoff for residency by birth is your grandparents.
Yes, however, it's still possible if you really desire it. I would suggest a 5 or 6 month trip which you can do on a tourist visa. While in the U.K., you can start the process.
And no fincially crippling hospital bills
We Brits don’t even think about it. It’s just not significant to us so no we don’t hold a grudge. We consider it a lucky escape😂 we’re just too overcrowded already.
Not all true.
The official websites say it's almost impossible for a US citizen to get a retirement visa if you don't have a blood relative in the UK. Tell me it's different and I just may give it a go. It seems the Brits are still holding a grudge when we "removed" them from the US 240+ years ago.
Officially retiring in the U.K. is not easy, and there is plenty of bureaucracy; however, it's not impossible. Actual Brits are very welcoming to American retirees in stark contrast to many other immigrants they do not care for.
@@MikeRIE That's nice to know, thanks.
You sold it to me and i've lived in Lancashire all my life , good film
I love all of the U.K.
I’m a 62-year-old American who moved to southern Sweden (Karlshamn) two years ago, and I just filed for Social Security! I am definitely looking forward to my retirement here! It’s a beautiful country, and everyone is so nice and relaxed here. The cost of living is also low, compared to the US. We were able to buy a really nice, 4-bedroom house here in a charming neighborhood surrounded by well maintained walking paths that connect us to forests, a lake and a downtown with shops, restaurants and a supermarket. We are also a short bike ride away from a really nice swimming lake; as well as a very large well maintained public pool with saunas and steam rooms that is right next to the Baltic Sea (with the option for a dip in the Baltic and then direct access to showers and a sauna. There is also a super modern train that departs every hour with the connections to all major cities, and is just 2-1/2 hours away from the Kastrup International Airport located in Copenhagen, Denmark (which is where we catch all of our international flights from). Stockholm is a 6-hour train ride north (useful for things like renewing passports, etc.).
Swedish social security or American social security?
You did not mention how to obtain visa etc etc to retire there???
You're right. Things mentioned in the video are timeless, while visa regulations and laws are subject to change. With that said, most retiring Americans would need to obtain a "Residence Permit for Private Purposes"(Niederlassungsbewilligung - ausgenommen Erwerbstätigkeit) Aren't German words fun? Currently, you will need to prove you are not a criminal (background check), you will need to show financial sufficiency ($2000/month or so without children), you will need to obtain health insurance (pretty cheap in Austria), and you will need to have a residential contract (lease). You can contact the Austrian consulate or embassy to get the ball rolling. Yes, it's bureaucratic, but once it's done once, it becomes much easier.
