How To Retire In Spain
We require evidence that you earn at least $2,500 a month or $30,000 a year to qualify for a retirement visa in Spain. You can also prove you have health insurance in Spain. You will need your international visitor number (NIE, which is necessary for everything from opening a bank account to set up the internet in your home). The rest is only a plain afterthought.
Portugal
Portugal has attracted visitors with its mild weather and picturesque towns. The nation has fewer living costs than neighboring Spain, sunny conditions for more than 300 days a year, and decent seafood. Politically, it is quite secure. Renting a tiny apartment is best for a retiree in a small community. National health care is being constantly threatened by the existence of foreign citizens in Portugal.
