When most Americans think about moving to Europe, they assume they need to find a European job and convince an employer to sponsor them. But what if you already have enough money to support yourself?
In this episode I am breaking down everything you need to know about passive income and retirement visas for Europe in 2026.
Here is what we are covering:
What actually counts as passive income for immigration purposes and what does not
A country by country breakdown of the best European options including Portugal, Spain, Italy, France, Greece, Croatia, and Malta
The minimum income requirements for each country ranked from lowest to highest
What to do if your income is mostly savings rather than a monthly amount
The critical difference between a passive income visa and a digital nomad visa
What documents you will typically need to apply
Why healthcare and taxes are the two things most people completely overlook
The 8 biggest mistakes people make with these visas
5 questions to ask yourself before choosing a country
And the big question I want to leave you with today is this. Instead of asking how can I make enough money to move abroad, ask yourself could the money I have already built be enough to give me a life abroad?
