19. Ireland

Getting a residential visa for Ireland is relatively easy in comparison to other European countries, which makes it a great entry point for those looking to spend their golden year on the old continent. That's not to say that the country itself is lacking in appeal — you'll be spoiled for choice among the quaint towns, striking castles, and friendly locals. Be aware that Ireland is not a budget destination — the entire country, and cities in particular, is notorious for the pricey rents and high cost of living.
