"We are considering a move overseas when I finally retire. The countries we are considering are Portugal, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Panama, Belize and Thailand (probably in this order). We have traveled quite a bit to the Caribbean and Central America and ready to say goodbye to Michigan winters. My research so far highly recommends Portugal, which we have not been too yet. Our time frame is probably 2 to 5 years, hoping for sooner rather than later." - cdkuttnauer

I attested to support her financially in my declaration letter and she concurred same in her letter. We did not have to have the FBI background apostilized. We had a valid 6 month lease, but it was not "registered" Although not required, we did supply our NIF as we felt it would sweeten the pot per se". All of this along with the dear instructions found on this site has resulted in us getting our NIF while in the U.S. as well as health insurance with Allianz?Medal. Thanks to all for their guidance and wisdom. Now, onto step 2 with SEF......" - Wallvestor
