Oh sure. If you want to stay long term you'd want to look up retirement visas. Those, thankfully, are pretty straight forward. Usually you qualify either by purchasing a home (which is faaaaaar less expensive just about anywhere you go), or you meet a minimum monthly pension/Social Security amount.

Retirement visas might be easier to obtain for countries like France or Germany than work/digital nomad visas, so I'd just google "Retirement visa for--(insert country here)."

One thing to keep in mind though are taxes. For example, if you were to sell your home in the U.S. then move to Spain the same year, Spain would take a large chunk of that home sale. So, if you find a retirement visa that works for you, your next step is to double-check taxes.

Not to impose, but after visiting Malta I thought that would be a great place to retire. Affordable, easy visas, and they don't charge any taxes on foreigners (and it's a short ferry away from Italy).
