I am a single male American expat who has been living outside of the US since 2001 (Most recently, 12 years in Sri Lanka). I have been planning to move to Tunisia which from everything I have read online seemed to be possible if not easy. I just spoke with a low-level official at the Tunisian embassy who told me that I was not eligible for a Carte Sejour as a retiree. I am not yet ready to accept what he told me at face value. Can anybody in this forum help me with any information and / or creative solutions? Thank you so very much for your time and any assistance you can offer!
