France
France is a European country where people like to sip the best wines in the world and spend wonderful, romantic evenings. The country’s amazing museums, enchanting castles and dazzling beaches are enough reason to live there. You may have to choose places outside of Paris though. This is because Paris is somewhat expensive. The southwest areas are cheaper and more affordable. The health care in France is also one of the best in the world; you will have to purchase private insurance though.
Thailand

The country provides interesting activities for persons with diverse interests. Golf enthusiasts, nature-lovers, seafarers and gift-shoppers often find living in Thailand a paradise. Retirees live comfortably with maids, cars and their own house; healthcare is also cheap there. Retirees could enjoy all of these at affordable costs.
Malaysia

Retirees can apply, and when they meet the requirements, they are awarded a 10-year unlimited visa. The income required for approval is at least $3,000 a month. The tallest skyscrapers in the world are found in Malaysia. Retirees there live in affordable and comfortable, air-conditioned apartments with all the amenities they need in its capital city, Kuala Lumpur.
