Its easy to get a visitor visa, those are good for 3 months at a time and there are plenty of nearby countries to visit for those visa runs! As for a long term visa, the rules have changed since I got mine, but I believe you can get a permanent retirement visa with proof of $1K/mo income (pension or such). If you are seriously interested in moving here, come visit and I will introduce you to my lawyer.
