The index considers some cities as good retirement spots. Valencia in Spain has an expat community and a Mediterranean climate for leisure and culture. And Medellin, Colombia, meanwhile, is an active urban area with a varied culinary and cultural scene for retirees looking for a dynamic lifestyle.
Transitioning to an overseas lifestyle takes planning. From choosing the right travel insurance to learning from current expats, Entegris retirees can prepare for life abroad. Those efforts enable informed decision-making and realistic expectations for those prepared to live internationally.
Understanding residency is also important for retirees moving.
