Welcome to "Dying To Retire," where we eliminate the stress of retiring overseas, kicking off our journey in Guatemala with Part 1 of our residency paperwork adventure! If you're a conservative boomer or someone with dreams of living abroad, hit that bookmark before this video disappears faster than your retirement funds! Relocating to Guatemala or anywhere else isn’t a quick decision, despite what some post-election clips may suggest. Here, we dive deep into the essential paperwork you’ll need—from your apostilled passport to FBI background checks, marriage certificates, and proof of income for Pensioner's or Spousal Residency. Discover how to notarize, apostille, and send these crucial documents to your Latin lawyer—yes, it's a real thing! Whether you're pursuing a pensioner visa or riding the wave of your Latina spouse's citizenship journey, this episode is your ultimate guide. Join us for laughs and insights into the expat experience as we navigate your golden years' cultural twists and turns.
