Retiring to the United States: A Practical Guide for UK Nationals

Understanding residency, healthcare, taxation and financial planning before making the move.

Planning Your Retirement in the United States

Planning Your Retirement in the United States 

The United States offers UK nationals an unusually wide choice of climates, communities and retirement lifestyles. 

English is widely spoken, property is generally accessible to overseas buyers and direct connections with the UK are available from many major cities. 

Permanent retirement, however, can involve considerable complexity. 

There is no dedicated retirement visa, healthcare depends heavily on insurance and becoming US tax resident can bring worldwide income and overseas assets into the US reporting framework. 

State selection also matters because tax, property costs, healthcare and living expenses can vary substantially. 

Our guide explains the main considerations worth reviewing before making the move.

Inside, you’ll find information on: 

  • Regional lifestyle and cost differences  
  • Foreign property ownership
