I'm soon to be 57 and want to retire in Scotland or Ireland

[Seedersandleechers]

around age 62. From everything I'm reading unless I have a job I can not immigrate. I'll have enough money to buy a small house and car as well as receive a pension and US social security. My living will be modest but do-able. Does anyone know any way around this job requirement? I'm a nurse but I do not want to work much longer as I'm completely burned out. I'm still searching for a way to do this but I would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you in advance.

1. Do you know anyone there?

You might be able to get someone to sponsor you.

6. oddly enough

my best friend here is a UK citizen who has been in the US with a permanent green card for some 35 years. I guess I could work something out with him. He was my boyfriend for several years, 7 years ago, but now we're just best friends. He is also single.

2. Can you collect Social Security if you're no longer a US resident?

There used to be a regulation that prohibited that. Has that changed?

3. That was my question...

there is a workaround (and only one that I know of. Dublin has gone to great lengths to prevent people from doing precisely what the OP intends to...they only want young able-bodies.) to emigrate to Ireland but I know that takes away Soc. Sec. so I wasn't suggesting it.

4. So what about

dual citizenship? Would that be okay.

5. I think that's permissible now, yes.

7. That's why so many retire to Mexico and, believe it or not, the Philippines. nt
