Hi Tina, I'm living in Aruba 6 months per year since I retired in 22.  Iam currently limited to a 180 day stay.  I'm applying for retirement residency this year which should alleviate that issue and I've been told I can buy into the health care with that residency. 

What specifics are you looking for? Condo, house, rental, location, etc.

Currently in a house I had built in 22, bit only there Oct thru April.  I will be applying for retirement residency this fall when I return.

What type of property and what location. Condos in walking distance to beach can go 320+ or more in NOORD, so location is important.

Any other specifics let me know.

My wife and I are looking to retire (year round) in Aruba. Can you detail a bit more about how one goes about buying into the healthcare once a residency permit is in hand.

Thank you, Bill

you can purchase international healthcare. Issue with Aruba is if you have major emergency may need to be airlifted so make sure that insurance covers that. It can be very expensive so keep that in mind. If you’re looking for basic coverage can be like $2000-3000; premium could be 10k or more.

Keep in mind to apply for residency you need to make a minimum amount. I think it’s 50,000 AWG roughly 28k USA. However, if you make less than 40k you should reconsider as it’s expensive. Food more, electricity more, income taxes high, etc.

Isn’t it max now to live as a non-resident is 90 days instead of 180? Didn’t they change that law, I maybe mistaken that’s why I’m asking.
