Retirement & Pensioner Visa
Often referred to as the Jubilado (Retired Person) Visa because of its popularity among retirees, this is also a fast and affordable path toward permanent residency for applicants who qualify.
In fact, anyone over age 18 can apply so long as they satisfy the 2 main requirements:
1. A pension or annuity paying a minimum of $1,000 USD per month.
The annuity or pension can be paid by a private company, military, government agencies, corporations, a bank, an insurance company, or a Trust.
2. The pension or annuity must provide a lifetime benefit.
Qualifying applicants can obtain residency for their spouse as well, but the pension or annuity benefit should cover an additional $250 per month.
As an added benefit, the Pensioner Visa also grants discounts at restaurants, hotels, movie theaters, pharmacies and domestic airlines, making it a popular option for clients on a fixed income.
