Episode notes
Centralize The Move As One Project
- Coordinate immigration, taxation, healthcare, housing, pets and cars with a single project manager to avoid gaps and delays.
- Use trusted partners for specialized tasks and keep centralized oversight during relocation.
Southern Europe Is Repricing Retirement
- Spain and Portugal have cooled as retirement havens due to housing pressure and policy rollbacks.
- Tax incentives and golden-visa routes have been reduced or removed, changing cost calculus for retirees.
Greece Offers Competitive Retirement Incentives
- Consider Greece for retirees because it offers a 7% flat tax for eligible foreign retirees and a golden visa that still includes real estate.
- Evaluate local language needs and island versus mainland healthcare access before deciding.
