retirement abroad

Foreign sunset years

Retirement abroad is the choice to spend one's retirement years in a foreign country, typically seeking lower living costs, warmer climate, or a different pace of life.

The phrase usually implies permanent or long-term relocation rather than extended travel: They're considering retirement abroad in Portugal.

Common destinations include Mexico, Costa Rica, and various Southeast Asian countries where pension income stretches further.
