What type of visa is available?
What type of visa is available for a person who is of independent
means and wants to spend some years, maybe about 5, in the USA with
the only purpose to experience living in USA? It will not be necessary
to work but this person will manage his portfolio of stocks and
derivatives with US and non-US brokers and properly take some language
classes and university courses to better experience everyday life! Are
there any restrictions on buying a house?
Thank you,

Re: What type of visa is available?
There currently is no such visa, although a long-term tourist visa for
people over a certain age (probably older than about 55) has been
proposed. The proposal was a couple years ago, but I suspect that sooner
or later, it may surface again.
Currently, the longest you could spend in the USA would be six months as a
tourist. You could also become a full-time student and get an F-1 visa for
however long it takes to complete your degree. However, this requires that
you actually are a full-time student, not just take a few classes here and
there. Also, you would have to make progress towards your degree.
Buying a house is the easy part; there are no restrictions as long as you
can finance it. If you would need a mortgage, banks might be reluctant to
lend you money, though.
