5 Countries with Easy Citizenship for Retirement

Fantastic weather, a laid-back lifestyle, and a low cost of living have made Portugal a veritable hot-spot for expats. For retirees, the country becomes particularly alluring with the D-7 visa, where they must demonstrate sufficient recurring income or savings. However, proof of accommodation in the country and health insurance are also additional requirements. Permanent residency is granted in 5 years, after which an application for citizenship can be submitted, available only after passing a language test.
