Single Lady retiring to Panama by PattiH

Hi, All New to this blog and looking for information. Are there any other Single ladies looking to retire to Panama? From all I've read I realize this most likely a huge minority. However, If I'm doing it I have to believe there are others.. ...

An easy (and very inexpensive) way to get to see Panama from the non-tourist point of view is to enroll in a Spanish School! There is an excellent one in Boquette called " Habla Ya"!! They will arrange for you to live with a local ... Read More

Trip to panama by blodg

Howdy. My wife and I are nearing an early retirement. For the past couple of years, we have been researching the possibility of retiring full or part time overseas. We have narrowed our choices down, and started the 'boots on the ground' ...

Welcome to Panama! You will love the coast of Panama, and the biggest surprise for us was the difference in topography on the Azuero peninsula as compared to the coastline nearer David In Boca Chica and again down to Puerto Armuelles. You are ... Read More

Future Home in Panama by Vie1961

Hi, I just joined this blog (my first ever blog community so not quite sure how it works) I'm planning a trip to Panama in the summer of 2014 in the hopes of discovering enough to make a decision to retire there in hopefully 4 to 5 years. There ...

Sylvie, welcome!! You are smart to plan an exploration visit here. If I could offer a couple of suggestions: Don't make reservations except for your first night and the last couple of nights before you leave. That way you'll be free to explore, ... Read More

Vehicle transport by CaptainSteve

Does anyone know a good carrier to send my Jeep down and possible cost's? I know that if it looks too expensive, that I could pay a high import tax. It is 6 years old now and has many miles on it. I understand that I really only have 2 choices, ...

There are several good carriers, and each will give you a quote based upon where you ship from. We shipped a car from Port Canaveral, Florida and it cost about $1300.00 for everything. Before you ship a vehicle I suggest you apply for your ... Read More

We are thinking of moving to Panama from Canada and retiring with my elderly dad who is currently in a nursing home. We understand that it's possible to have a live in nanny but we were wondering if there were any places for respite care to have dad ...

You can now purchase an entire system for your house that includes a device/panic button your Dad can wear, along with buttons to place in the bathroom or near his bed, or favorite chair. It's inexpensive, and you don't have to buy a service. Your ... Read More

I agree, the tours are not going to give you the "real" feeling of living here, and you should rent first if you can find a suitable home. Make a list of "Must Haves" then visit as much of Panama as you can. No one can tell you where to live; you ... Read More

Where are you thinking about moving? Do you speak any Spanish? What types of activities do you enjoy? I am moving to Puerto Armuelles this year. I've found there are many good °µÍø½ûÇø groups here in Panama, and generally Panamanians are welcoming ... Read More

Puerto Armuelles should be on your list of places to explore. On the beach, great medical care nearby ( a hospital in town/ David less than an hour away). Good shopping: grocery stores, hardware stores & again David AND the trade - free zone at the ... Read More

Warning-real estate in Panama is not what it seems by WarningToAll

We purchased a condo, pre construction, from what we were told to be a reputable and a premium developer [Moderated] of Panama City, Republic of Panama in October of 2006. The project was named Oceanaire, and was supposedly the best amongst the ...

Just like purchasing real estate anywhere, it's important to do your research, and spend some time in a location before you buy. I take great exception to the comment that most Panamanians do not keep their word. I've had the opposite ... Read More
