Part 11/14:
What is my budget? Account for visa costs, insurance, housing, and daily expenses. Some visas and long-term stays involve upfront fees or deposits.
How much complexity am I willing to manage? Simplistic approaches like visa exemption or short-term rentals require minimal paperwork. Longer-term visas and leases demand more planning but provide stability.
What are my health considerations? Older individuals with pre-existing conditions often need long-term insurance and may need to stay within medical networks.
How important is flexibility to me? If you seek the ability to come and go freely, shorter stays or multiple visas are preferable. Committing to residency limits flexibility but offers stability.
