A new ranking by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalcitizensolutions.com\/intelligence-unit\/reports\/global-retirement-report\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Global Citizen Solutions<\/a> has identified the countries that offer the best conditions for older people.<\/p>\n<p>Experts evaluated countries based on 20 criteria, grouped into six key sub-indices: procedures for obtaining status, citizenship and mobility, economic situation, taxation, quality of life, as well as safety and integration. Each country was assigned a score on a 100-point scale.<\/p>\n<p>Who are the leaders?<\/p>\n<p>Portugal took first place with a score of 92.61 points. It is recognised as the safest country in Europe and offers a high quality of life. For pensioners who are not EU citizens, there is a D7 visa, which is issued to individuals with a stable passive income of at least \u20ac870 per month. After five years of residence under this status, you can apply for permanent residence or citizenship.<\/p>\n<p>Second place goes to Mauritius. In Mauritius, pensioners over 50 can apply for a 10-year residence permit. To do this, you need to confirm an annual income of about $24,000. The warm climate, affordable housing and advanced healthcare make the country an attractive option for relocation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Don&#8217;t want to miss important updates and useful articles?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/visitukraine.today\/#subscribe-us-block\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Subscribe<\/a>\u00a0to our weekly newsletter!<\/p>\n<p>Top 10 best countries to retire to<\/p>\n<p>Portugal<\/p>\n<p>Mauritius<\/p>\n<p>Spain<\/p>\n<p>Uruguay<\/p>\n<p>Austria<\/p>\n<p>Italy<\/p>\n<p>Slovenia<\/p>\n<p>Malta<\/p>\n<p>Latvia<\/p>\n<p>Chile<\/p>\n<p>Reminder!
