The Elective Residence question, answered honestly.
The Elective Residence Visa is the route most American, British, and Canadian retirees use — and the first question is always the same: is my income enough? Where you apply from, why you are moving, and which consulate holds your file all change the answer. This check walks you through it step by step — what the consulates actually publish, dated, with the national floor where they publish nothing.
Seven short steps, no email, nothing stored. The answer is orientation, not a decision.
Step 1 of 7 · Where from
What this check can and cannot tell you
It can tell you whether your recurring passive income clears the bar your consulate applies, and what that consulate will ask you to bring. It cannot tell you whether an officer will like your file: consulates decide case by case, and they look at savings, property, and how believable your plan is — not just the number.
Three things surprise almost everyone: work income never counts (not even remote work), a large bank balance is not income, and some consulates want the full amount per person in a couple. The check flags each where it applies.
This is orientation, not legal, tax, or immigration advice. Consulate requirements change without notice; the dated source under your result is the one to verify before you file anything.
Borderline or complicated?
That is exactly what the review is for
The check tells you the rules; the Feasibility Review tells you what they mean for your file. A 30-minute session checks your real numbers against your consulate, your timeline, and the towns you are weighing — with the honest flags in writing.
