When visiting Shrewd'm with a laptop, it can be pleasant to hold Command (or Ctrl with Windows) and '+' a few times. The site scales to allow any font size, and the larger font can be pleasant to read even for Shrewds with perfect sight! For luxury Shrewdness, you can combine that with setting the browser to full screen. You'll then find yourself Shrewding a lot.

I’m interested in an investor visa in a warm EU country, or possibly Canada?

My biggest worry is navigating the banking rules/setup in a country where I don’t know the language as I only speak English (my wife speaks passable Spanish).

I say maybe Canada because it’s English speaking mostly, but I don’t really understand if their investor visa is even a possibility.

Any thoughts on where to go?

I’ve read about Greece, Portugal, Italy and Spain a bit, and it appears I can either buy real estate (Greece) or invest in the country’s government bonds to gain residency, but my main question for non-US folks here is how hard would it be for an English speaking person to set up a banking relationship in a foreign country?
