Can an American Retiree Move to England?

Here are some of the ways you can retire to England as an American
1. as a family member or partner of British citizen
2. you already have a retired person visa which can be extended
3. you’ve settled in the UK before or you’ve been in the UK legally for 10 years
4. If you have at least one British parent who was born in the UK, you might be a citizen and not need a visa
5. If you have Canadian or commonwealth citizenship and one grandparent born in the UK then you can qualify through ancestry. Unfortunately Americans can’t qualify through this loophole unless they’re also Canadian citizens.
I’m assuming if you’re retiring you won’t be working or studying but those routes have other visa options.
Why retire to the UK?
The pros to retiring full time in the UK or england is of course freedom of movement, access to health care and able to get immersed into local community and culture.
The cons to retiring full time in the uk as an american is potentially additional taxation, and higher cost of living and distance from loved ones and friends in the US.
I recommend trying living here for up to 6 months which you can do legally. Get the best of both worlds and at the same time see if living or retiring here full time will be right for you.
