do you mean safest in the world, or Scandinavia, or since you posted in the France Forum, in France?

If you want to retire, then France is one of the easier countries to do this. As long as you have a minimal passive income of around 1500 euros per month, then you can get a long stay visa. A VLS-T visa cannot be renewed. A VLS-TS visa can and that's the one most people use to retire there. You have to promise not to work in ANY capacity. I find France to be a fairly open and accepting society - like most places, the closer you are to a big city, the more diverse the population. As long as you go in with your eyes open regarding the maddeningly slow bureaucracy and know the cultural differences/pitfalls, France can be a fantastic place to retire. We plan to retire there in a couple of years.
