Hi, my husband and I are planning to take early retirement in a few years and spend different periods of time in different locations in Europe and Latin America/the Caribbean. I have seen that in certain countries, it is relatively easy to get QRP (Qualified Retired Person) status, allowing a retired person to stay in the country for longer than the short period a tourist could.
Does anyone know whether it's possible, and how easily, one could get a QRP status in France? I'm not sure it makes any difference, but I actually have lived in France for about 3 1/2 years total in my life, and speak fluent/near native French. But I have always been there on student visas/cartes de sejour.
Thanks!
