Around March to April each year the roads of Florida are filled with Canadians making their way back home having spent the last few months in Florida. Similarly the airports in Orlando, Miami and Tampa have a large number of Brits also returning home after enjoying that therapeutic Florida sunshine and relaxing lifestyle for the last six months.

Increasing numbers of overseas visitors love to spend as much of their retirement time in the sunny all year round climate of Florida. However, those wanting to retire and relocate permanently to the U.S. have often found it difficult, due to there being no specific visa that allows retirees to live there year round, even if they are wealthy and self supporting.

There has been talk for years of a silver retirement style visa, but nothing has ever materialized. Unless retirees have a close American relative or buy a business, permanent retirement to the States has always seemed a distant dream.

Not so anymore as more and more potential retiree’s consider the EB-5 visa regional centre pilot program. This visa category has been a blessing to retirees wishing to permanently retire to the States as it does not require them to directly operate a business.

In return for a $500,000 investment in an approved regional center program many can achieve their lifelong dreams of permanent residence in the USA. If you would like full details of exactly how this visa category can work for you read “How to Retire in Florida” and contact Which EB5 for details of how you can become a permanent resident retiree in Florida.

Important: You will want to see our recent blog: Does the location of EB-5 Regional Center Programs really matter? before you start looking at regional center choices as it is possible that one of these might be waiting for you.
