Vietnam

With a rich culture, history, gorgeous natural landscapes, and affordable living costs, Vietnam is definitely a special retirement destination. Two people can live on around $1,500 a month in big cities, and if you go to the beach towns Nha Trang or Da Nang you can happily live on less than $1,000 a month. While Nha Trang is home to a lot of expats and Western restaurants, Da Nang is a modern city with a beach and a temperate climate. In either city, a one-bedroom apartment rents for less than $400 a month. With those prices, you’ll have plenty of money left over to explore Vietnam’s sunny coasts, Buddhist pagodas, and French colonial relics while enjoying the tasty street food and cuisine.

If you’re not married to a citizen or have family there, you’ll have to apply for a visa to stay in Vietnam long term. There is no specialized retirement program there, instead, you can apply to a one-year multiple-entry visa which requires you to leave the country once every 90 days. While there is perfectly adequate health care in Vietnam, you might need to fly to Thailand or Singapore for serious medical situations.
