I don't know if I got lucky, but when I moved to Panama all I had booked was a 1 way ticket through American Airlines. When the ticket agent asked how long I was staying in the country and where, I told her with my in-laws for 6 months. I got the ... Read More

Can anyone recommend a bank in Panama? by roseman

Can anyone recommend a good and reliable Panamanian bank for a Panamanian offshore company owned by a Panamanian resident? Many thanks

mm

we opened bank accounts here and weren't asked for any information like that. All of the account information is done by numbers (think like swiss bank account). Even our debit and credit cards don't have names, just numbers. I'm not sure how the IRS ... Read More

Would like to retire in Panama and play golf by bharris345

My wife and I would like to retire in Panama. My wife teaches at a local university and I work as an engineer at a local manufacturing company. We both like traveling, plays, going out at night to local clubs and having fun. I like to play golf and ...

You're definitely going to find one of the communities near Panama City. I believe there are a couple with golf courses or access to them. Outside of Panama City it gets difficult to find all the things to do and golf. You might try Bocas del Toro, ... Read More

CONFUSION by vinnie62

Can Canadians living in Panama weigh in on this for me pretty please?? I'm getting conflicting info about the maximum time you can stay in Panama. The Panama embassy in my city (Ottawa) clearly told me you don't need any kind of visa or anything ...

mm

visas are good for 180 days, but you can always check with the us embassy in panama to be doubly sure. the hubs and I were only required to have a 1 way ticket purchased and we verified with border personnel that the visas are actually good for 180 ... Read More

What car to buy by mktimken

We will be moving to Panama in 6 months to a year. We are leaving our old car behind and plan to purchase a new/used car when we arrive. I've heard that there are certain brands to buy as they are much easier to have serviced. Can anyone ...

mm

Most are available in both. Standard seems best given the terrain of inner roads. If you are staying on the Inter-American highway, automatic will be no problem. MM Read More

Well, you are right to leave your car behind. Shipping cost and taxes would make just about any car not worth sending over here. There are many car brands here. Some not available in the States. Service for you car will depend mostly on where you ... Read More

Hi there, Hope I'm not too late. The cost of medications here are generally lower, as is most health care cost. What's more is that medicine is offered individually. For example, if you are needing 7 tablets of a certain medicine, then you can buy ... Read More
