Thank you for including France. No one else does. I moved to a small town and find that the cost of living is much lower than in US. The French are very helpful here. French classes are available. The transportation system is great. No need for a car. Many cultural activities are free. Life here is beautiful for the most part.

My wife is from Romania and she literally escaped by jumping on a train. We recently started going back a few years ago and fell in love with the country. We have a flat in Brasov and we have started buying more real estate for income when we retire there full-time in 3 years. They recently passed a new law that says you can become a Romanian citizen after 10 years of marriage to a Romanian citizen, even without living in the country. I will be eligible to be a Romanian citizen here shortly!

Folks need to remember that France, Spain, and Portugal have overseas territories that are co-equal with the home territory in legal terms. If being on the European continent is not desirable then look into those overseas territories. (The UK has a similar, but by no means identical, thing with its own overseas and offshore territories.)

Austria, let's set the record straight. <br>Firstly, the easy part, Austria does not have Austrian, German and English as languages. It has German.<br>Secondly, retirement visas are on a strict quota, which is tiny.<br>The quota is generally used up in the first day of January. <br>Thirdly, you need German proficiency at A2 level.

Hey guys! Good to see you on my feed again! Portugal broke my heart last year with the visa changes. Southern France September 2025! A base to visit all of Europe, plus my Tour de France, the Giro di Italia, and the Vuelta de Espagne all easily doable! After learning Portuguese (A2) in the pandemic, I am now immersed in French. It is actually easier after learning that insane "r" sound for Portuguese!

Thank you for thinking of us who need cooler weather!! Usually there is an emphasis on hot/tropical, but that is definitely not for me. 🤗

Brazilian retiree moving to Portugal with my teenager son in a week. We have good tax agreements, same language, huge expats community, and cultural similarities. Wish us luck!

I think the main thing retirees need to know right off the bat is : healthcare, taxes on Social Security and investments ( if you are American), language requirement and income requirements also if there are medical exams. No point in dreaming of weather and cafe culture etc, without knowing if it even feasible.

Kudos josh and Kaylee. I stumbled upon your video by accident and it was a breath of fresh air. For some reason my youtube logrism keeps giving me andrews no mad capitalist. I felt like I needed to go take a shower after watching each of his videos. Even though some of us are in the six and seven figure net worth.... I always feel like we're just not good enough for andrew.lol 😂 But siriusly , the vast majority of us are not and will never be high networth individuals. Not sure why the YouTube gods keep showing me Andrew's videos.But I was thankful to stumble on yours. I will like and subscribe.obtw im 8 years retired in CHIANGMAI THAILAND 🇹🇭 😊 we love ❤️ it. Even though we travel internationally, often. Our net worth continues to grow. Kudos again 😊
