Global Retirement Index

Global life expectancy has risen sharply in recent decades, thanks to advances in healthcare, nutrition, and living standards—today, a baby born in 2021 can expect to live over 25 years longer than one born in 1950.

As longevity increases and mobility expands, retirement is becoming a global experience, with individuals seeking security, fulfillment, and connection beyond their home countries.

In response to this shift, Global Citizen Solutions presents the Global Retirement Report 2025, a comprehensive study comparing 44 retirement and passive income visa programs across 44 countries, designed to help retirees make informed decisions about where to build their next chapter abroad.
