Ecuador's Pensioner Visa requires only $800 per month in income, the lowest requirement among all entries on this list, and the country uses the US dollar to eliminate currency risk. Cuenca, a UNESCO World Heritage city in the Andes, hosts a 10,000-strong US expat community, making it easier to integrate than in #8 Greece, where English is less widely spoken. Living costs for a couple range from $1,400-1,800 per month, including rent and utilities, while discounts for retirees over 65 include 50% off utilities, travel, and entertainment. Private hospitals in Cuenca are modern and affordable, with a doctor's visit costing $30-50.
