Mexico

Over 1.5 million Americans and Canadians live in Mexico, primarily in San Miguel de Allende, Lake Chapala, Puerto Vallarta, and the Riviera Maya. US Social Security income stretches 2-3x further in Mexico, IMSS public healthcare costs retirees $500/year for comprehensive coverage, and private healthcare rivals US quality at 10-20% of the cost. No minimum income requirement exists for the standard resident visa.
