No fixed income minimum
Modest by comparison: an income test with no fixed minimum.
Bolivia offers one of the lowest cost-of-living retirement destinations. No published income minimum: applicants file a sworn declaration of solvency with supporting documents, judged case by case; guides cite about $300 to $500 a month. 1-year visa, renewable. Permanent residency after 2 years; citizenship after 3 years of continuous residence. Very affordable but limited infrastructure outside cities.
