 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.

 Increasing numbers of overseas visitors love to spend part of the year in the sunny all year round states of Florida, California and Arizona. However, although you may qualify for a six month visa, those wanting to retire and relocate permanently to the U.S. have often found it impossible as there used to be no specific visa that allows retirees to live in the USA year round even if they are wealthy and self supporting.
There has been talk for many years of a silver visa but nothing ever materialized. Unless retirees have a close American relative or buy a business, permanent retirement to the States has always seemed an impossible 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.

National newspapers and magazines have been publicizing the ways that the EB-5 visa program can provide the opportunity for many people’s lifelong dream to retire in the U.S.
Under this immigration program foreign nationals can make an investment of $500,000 in an approved American Regional Center program to obtain an immigrant visa and be eligible for a U.S. green Card.
Andrew Bartlett, Joint Managing partner of the leading specialist EB5 relocation advocacy company, Which EB5, advised Brian and Jane Thompson, a couple from Essex, England, on the EB-5 visa program. The Daily Mail reported that they targeted Florida as their ideal retirement spot, noting its low real estate costs.
We have kept in contact with the Thompsons and will update you on their lifestyle in Sarasota.
The State Department reports that the number of approved EB-5 visas has nearly tripled between fiscal years 2008 and 2009.

Many families, particularly from Europe, have spent some great holidays in the United States over the years – they often first made the trip with their children on family vacations enjoying the theme parks and then when the children have flown the nest, long to rekindle happy memories and enjoy all the advantages particularly of Florida and California on a permanent long term basis in retirement.
Until recently this group of people have found their retirement dreams frustrated due to a lack of suitable visa. The USA has no retirement visa as such and so unless they applied through the E2 or L1 visa programs, and bought a business, their hopes remained a pipe-dream – as both the L1 and E2 visas are for fixed terms and did not provide permanent residence they often had to pass on their hopes and either remain in their homeland through those dreary winters or opt for Spain and the potential language difficulties.
However, at long last there is a finally a proven alternative visa option that has satisfied those dreams of year round sunshine and the advantages of the American way of life – the EB-5 investor regional center pilot program has now been operating long enough to track how the initial pioneers who used it when it first came out five years ago have fared.
As part of our series on who should be interested in this visa we will, in future blogs, look into some cases studies of those who used the EB5 for retirement.
