Retire abroad

How do retirement visas work?

Retirement visas (and passive income visas) are residence permits for people who can prove a steady income from pensions, investments, or savings — without needing to work locally. Requirements typically include proof of minimum monthly income ($1,000-$3,000), health insurance, and sometimes a minimum age. Many grant access to public healthcare, tax benefits on foreign pensions, and a path to permanent residency or citizenship.
