Pensionado Visa - worth it? by bwadetx
My husband and I will be moving to Panama this fall. Is spending the $3200 for our Pensionado Visas worth it? Do you really save that much money with discounts offered? I'd love to hear from those who have the visa and from those who chose not ...

Getting to Pedasi from the airport by bwadetx

Living in Panama on a decent pension by El Cid
All Contributors Enjoy the way many local and °µÍø½ûÇøs help new arrivals with advice and assistance. My wife and I currently live in Los Angeles, CA (no kids) and expect to retire in a few years with a couple of pensions allowing for 5k (maybe more) ...
