Did you know about this easy (but very cold) backdoor into EU retirement residency?

LATVIA!

If you're 65 or over and have a basic income, you're in like Flint.

I guess future security concerns in the Baltic States would be a downside.

 

 

Latvian Retirement Visa 2023: Easiest EU Retirement Residency

Wrong info. They are clueless how things are in Latvia and the EU.

 

"There are three options for obtaining investment residency in Latvia. First, you can buy real estate in Latvia for at least EUR 250,000. The second option is an interest-free government bond, also with a minimum requirement of EUR 250,000. Finally, you can invest in a bank bond for a minimum of EUR 280,000, and receive interest on your investment. All investments have to be retained for a 5-year period. A government fee of EUR 25,000 is payable for the government bond and bank bond options."

Well the idea might be living there part time and more desirable Schengen countries other times.

Once you get Residency you are FREE TO DRIVE to any 27 countries you want to.

NO border controls. No tracking like if you fly.

Latvia is not Thailand - Latvia doesn't care where you are.

Yes, it's true. Movement across Shengen seems pretty lax. 

Minimum age is 65 to apply for this.

Lax? It's a LAW!
