Did you know about this easy (but very cold) backdoor into 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."

countries where no one wants to live have the easiest visa options.

 

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.

Lax? It's a LAW!

 

"The Schengen rules abolish internal border controls, while harmonising and reinforcing protection of the area's external borders. Once inside the Schengen area, people can travel from one country to another without being subjected to border checks.Jun 25, 2567 BE"

This is interesting about Estonia, but overall even though it's more difficult. the D7 visa for Portugal would probably be much better and still possible for most in the retirement category.

Estonia, too cold, and I would be worried about Russia.

 

In my case, I could qualify for Portugal, but would prefer Spain if I moved to Europe, but I don't qualify for that.

 

More expats are moving to France which can actually be affordable in the provinces, though I'm not up on the requirements.

 

For people with distant Italian relatives to be mined for residency, Italy is also popular.

Check out this; Portimao, Portugal

It's like living in Spain. Language isn't.

There are many great deals now thank to exodus of tax "cheats" after they lost tax free benefit.

PS. Spain's local rules are good and they have lot of power to do what ever they like.

Many gays and lesbians go there to live together - legally.

Heteros can use the same trick, they don't care. They want new people.

"Unmarried couples in Spain will receive legal protection if the partners meet the following requirements: It can either be an opposite-sex couple or same-sex couple. You must be stably cohabiting (living together). You must have common interests to maintain a family life together."

This is not about residency based on investment.

The Republic of Ireland is an EU member state.

 

If you have/had an Irish parent (born on either side of the border) you are automatically an Irish citizen.

 

You will need a copy of your and your parent's birth certificates and your parents' marriage certificate to obtain the passport.

 

If you have/had an Irish grandparent you can obtain Irish citizenship.
