Hi Bev
This may be an interesting topic for another string. But I once did some research on this topic and could not find any EU countries which would give a "Retirement Visa" to
non-EU members. My search was not exhaustive, there are lots of EU countries. But I did check the major ones and many of the minor ones as well. I spent several days looking into this. I would be pleased if people would give a list of EU countries where they know that this is possible.
As far as calling the consulate, the last time I made a move, I did this. The only advice the consulate was willing to give me was "contact a lawyer"
