Malaysia
For a meager $500 per month, a retirement apartment or cottage is not hard to find in Malaysia. This is a greatly sought after location to spend your later years due to the tasty cuisine and mild climate. Remember to stay away from the more expensive tourist destinations like Sabah to find your property gem.
It may be a good idea to have a look at properties on the islands. One of the cheapest for property prices is Panang where you can pick up a small flat for $290 a month. You will not have to concern yourself with your health as superior care and clinics are readily accessible in Malaysia. No high priced healthcare is required here! If you can show that you are generating $2 400 a month from your withdrawal benefits, you can request a 10-year visa.
Malta
It is not often that you find a country that is a tourist mecca and still manages to keep their reparations low. You will not regret joining the local Mediterranean people in their laid-back, peaceful, and friendly lifestyles. A small retirement home can be rented for about $450 per month.
One less thing to worry about is that everyone speaks English! English is actually one of the official languages of Malta. Again, the medical care in this country is top-level. A one year visa is what you require and the annual renewal of this visa will enable you to get permanent residency in time.
