This issue throws out mixed reports. Permanent residency requires you to be self sufficient financially (and don't forget that includes medical insurance). I think all the official things may be in Dutch too. It would be nice to retire there though.
I think that the Gold Coast residential homes has a program to help retirees retire in Aruba. If you have planned your retirement well then it probably wouldn't be a problem. But it would take work to plan.
This thread has given me ideas! Not that I need too much encouragement to imagine how pleasant it would be to spend more time in Aruba! I'm sure I would be very popular as many people I know would be fighting over the guest room in my imaginary paradise retirement villa!
