Answers · Non-O Retirement Visa

Does the embassy I apply through change the rules?

Yes, the financial thresholds aren't identical from country to country; each embassy sets its own equivalent. For example, the deposit figure is around USD $30,000 in the US versus about €24,000 in France, and the pension figure is around USD $2,500/month in the US versus about €2,000/month in France.
