Discover the top 5 reasons to retire in Panama

Panama has become one of the world's most popular ex-pat destinations. Panama was just named first in the World's Best Places to Retire in the 2022 index published by International Living. It provides pleasant weather and a good lifestyle at a considerably cheaper cost than where you are today. 


#1 Costs of Living

If you are willing to live in a modest but comfortable first-world environment, a single person may live on US$1,800 to US$2,100 per month, and a couple can live on US$2,500 to US$3,500 per month. If you can afford it, go for it.


#2 Natural Beauty & Weather

Panama has pleasant and warm weather all year. The temperature rarely exceeds 90°F / 32°C for significant periods. Natural calamities and extreme weather are also uncommon. In places like Panama City, Coronado, and Bocas del Toro, the temperature is hotter, but in mountain villages like Boquete, El Valle de Anton, and Volcan, the weather is cooler and spring-like.

#3 Quality of life and healthcare

Panama has a reliable infrastructure and modern amenities. If you live in Panama, you'll have access to products and conveniences that you're used to. Because of cheaper healthcare, insurance, transportation, entertainment, and other costs, you'll be able to indulge in more of life's little luxuries.

#4 International Hub

From all over the world, there are well-established ex-pat populations (as well as several clubs and organizations) in Panama.

The vibrant culinary and culture sectors, as well as the flashy, inventive architecture and new industries, are diversifying the local economy. Panama now has its own International Film Festival. The yearly jazz festival is well-known. Panama's huge, sophisticated convention centers host major international meetings.

#5 Retiree visa

The country has one of the most attractive benefits programs for retirees worldwide. And it is not only for Panamanians, but it also applies to resident foreigners. Accessing the benefits is not complex. All you have to do is process the residence visa.

The benefit is valid for every Panamanian woman (55 years old) or man (60 years old) or legal resident in the country. The retiree can enjoy a series of discounts on entertainment, tourism, gastronomy, public services, medical expenses, etc.
