As long as you don't need to look for employment locally, it's relatively easy and inexpensive to get a long-term (12 months plus) visa. I enquired with immigration lawyers in three different EU countries where this was possible, and ended up obtaining a three-year visa in a fourth country. I would estimate this cost about 500 EUR.
If you have a lot of money (hundreds of thousands up to millions), you can effectively buy residency in most countries around the world.
Other countries allow border-running to renew your visa, some countries issue longer visa's on arrival, etc, etc.
Mostly, this all depends on your financial means, which country you choose to spend a longer time in, your levels of determination, and the skill of the immigration lawyer you choose.
