#7 Spain
You should avoid pricey locations such as Barcelona as Valencia and other small towns will be far more affordable. In smaller towns, you will be able to rent an apartment for about $630 per month and the warm waters and sunny weather suggest the country is ideal for a relaxing retirement. You will also be able to venture off to Europe should you so wish.
Spain
Even though the country offers affordable living costs, you will need to prove that you earn a monthly income of about $2,500 when applying for a retirement visa. You will also need to provide documentation that your health insurance is suitable to use in Spain.
#6 Portugal
Portugal borders Spain and while the weather is quite similar, the sunny region is also an incredibly affordable choice for retirement. The decadent local cuisine and the enchanting beaches will ensure you can spend the bulk of your time in complete relaxation while the historically rich country is also known for the friendly locals.
Portugal
Monthly rentals are pocket-friendly, although, you should consider purchasing health insurance to gain access to private health care.
When applying for a residency permit here you will need to have a valid passport, which applies to visit any country. Along with a valid passport, you will also need proof of your monthly income and your health insurance documentation.
