Overview: The United States does not offer a specific, dedicated retirement visa category. Foreign nationals seeking to retire in the U.S. typically must qualify through existing family-based, employment-based (e.g., EB-5 for investors), or other green card pathways.
Eligibility: There is no specific retirement visa category. Eligibility for long-term residency depends on qualifying for existing immigrant visas (e.g., family sponsorship, significant investment).

Summary: The U.S. lacks a dedicated retirement visa. Retirees generally qualify via family sponsorship or investment visas (like EB-5) for long-term stay. Tourist visas permit only temporary visits, not retirement.
