The problem is, with EU countries, you have a minimum salary requirement, or have to purchase property valued at a minimum of 250,000 Euros. Even Portugal's digital nomad visa has a minimum salary requirement. Some countries, like Germany or Austria, have a language requirement as well. Greece is doable, but again, you have to purchase property in the country. While you can get property outside of the more populated areas pretty inexpensively, it's harder to find something in Athens or Thessaloniki, let alone popular places like Mykonos or Santorini.

I would love to move to Italy, but they have their own fascist president right now, and they're hostile to LGBTQ+ people in areas outside of the big cities. (I'm not LGBTQ+, but if they don't like gay people, they aren't going to like Witches.) I have Croatian heritage on my mother's side, so I may look into that. Unfortunately, my German ancestors came from the A-H Empire. I've been following the struggles that people are facing trying to get German and Austrian permanent residency. My husband's German ancestors have been here since 1848, so I don't think that's going to get us anything in Germany, either. All of his other ancestors have been here since before the American Revolution.

I have a friend who got permanent residency in Montenegro and loves it. It's not without it's challenges, though. I also have friends who are expats in Costa Rica and love it. Belize might be an option, too. Plus, I understand that there are large numbers of American expats in certain parts of Mexico.
