Do you have any other thoughts you would like to share about retiring abroad?

It's important to thoroughly research the locations you're considering. Look into what local laws and tax regulations you may need to comply with, as well as visa requirements, health care services, and other services and activities you would want to take advantage of in retirement. Talk to people who already live there, and try to visit the location to get a feel for the area and culture. Always plan for unexpected costs and make sure to have access to emergency funds. Lastly, make sure to keep in touch with family and friends back home - it's easier to stay connected than ever before but don't forget to build social networks in your new country.
