The idea of retiring abroad is an appealing one. With no office tying you down, and the option to spend your days wherever—and however—you please, passing your time in a new country calls to many avid travelers. But once you decide to relocate abroad (and get a sense of what it will take to do so), you've got to decide where to go.
While moving abroad can generally be tricky business, a number of countries are more than accommodating to expat retirees. In fact, some offer real incentives, too. Small towns in countries like France, Spain, and Italy, for example, sell off fixer-upper homes for one euro to attract foreign investments; other places are more directly trying to tempt retirees and pensioners looking to relocate, with visas that promise tax cuts, and steep-discount programs that make U.S. dollars go a long way.
The below six countries, across Europe, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, offer some of the best incentives for retirees—promising to make the big move well worth your while.
