Portugal: peace of mind.:

$1500 is do able as the average salary is 600 to 1000. We live in the center of lisbon and rent for our 2 bedroom place. You can find a nice one bedroom for $400 to $600. Movies are $12 per ticket. Meto is $1.5 per trip. Uber is cheaper than taxi here. 30 minute trip by taxi is $20 euro or $25 dollars where Uber is $7 dollars. Vegetables and chicken is half of that in the USA. Imported electronics have a 24% tax. Eating near tourist areas in Lisbon they add 24%. In the smaller restaurants a good meal is 9 to $12 so not much different than the USA.

Portugal: Retirement Visa / Schengen:

You dont need a visa to visit the EU and travel EU countrys for up to 90 days. I will share our experience. We came to Lisbon Portugal on June 1 2016. Applied for a visa extention at 60 days here. They gave us an appointment date 60 days out and a letter to carry allowing us to stay legally. the cost was about $120 for each of us. We where told we needed to leave hust before our visa extention expired and stay out for 24 hours then we could return for 90 more days. We went to London for a week to reset our visa. For a retirement you need to apply from the USA or get an attorney when your here.
