I am interested in retiring in Germany but have received conflicting information regarding residency. Some blogs claim you can get residency with proof of retirement income and insurance while others (including the German Embassy website) say that you need a German spouse, a job, or are enrolling in school. Is there anyone out there who received residency based on their retirement income alone? My spouse is not German but we have lived in Germany for several years and want to retire there.

Thanks!

Hallo, we took a one year retirement in Augsburg, Germany ( had friends there and we familiar with the area). We had no problems getting resident status for that time. We needed to show proof of insurance, income ( in our case Social security,some savings) a permanent address and bank account.All things we needed for our stay anyway. We are both citizens of America.
Our stay was wonderful and are planing on a return trip soon.
