So, what’s the cheapest country which does this, that is actually a decent place to live, being stable both politically and economically, with a bare minimum of grabby bureaucracy?
Is there such a place? Several Central American countries are pleasant and cheap, with Belize being very doable on a $2,000.00 a month SS check, but stability is a relatively recent thing for the region, so I’d tend to wonder about longterm prospects. No idea regarding citizenship.
I personally know 2 families who have moved to Costa Rica. I think it’s too soon for them to know if it will be a good decision in the long run, but for now, they just want to get away from what they see will be the biggest collapse of a nation/economy in human history.
