Obstacles and hurdles
As we covered in one of our earlier post, France is by far and away the most popular European tourist destination and is also attracting significant numbers of people looking to retire to the region. However, it is hard enough gaining access to a country when you have employment and income but gaining access on a long-term basis when you are retired, or looking to retire, seems to be that bit more difficult!
Background to the thread
There is a thread on the French forum which looks into immigration and the amount of money required when applying for a “retirement visa”. It looks as though the French system is fairly ambiguous in relation to requirements for a retirement visa with fairly vague wording such as “evidence of retirement pensions or income”. The system appears to be slightly more complicated by the fact that there are no different immigration visas for retirement with a “one visa fits all” policy.
