I love those roof when it rain, the loud noise it makes is something i always love 😂

You folks look so happy and at peace

Panama takes the stress away.

[@JohnFisk-OHS-78]

Huge creds to both of you! Thanks for sharing your story. Can't imagine living in out of a car and random AirBNB's for several months with two dogs (as sweet as they both look). You earn huge respect for figuring out how to make this happen. Years ago, when I was a kid between high school and college, I worked for a local farmer as a farm hand. When things went completely sideways, he used to say, "You know, just do what needs to be done." You lived out Dick's maxim. So glad that you finally made it to Panama and into retirement! Blessings on you both! John

Thank you Chuck and Debbi for sharing!! Alto Boquete is one of my favorite areas as I was doing my research. Also, back in August of this year, I went on an individual tour with Maury from Jackie's relocation guide. Maury was fantastic and showed me how big of an area Alto Boquete is. I fell in love all over again with Alto Boquete. Thanks again for your valuable input.

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

Thanks for sharing!

What about all the protest and unrest? Is that mainly in Panama City? What is it about exactly?

[@rhondamitchell7367]

Hi Chuck and Debbie. I see your names on the Saturday Q and A. Nice to put faces to the names. Thanks so much for the info.

[@cameronnewcomb4344]

Super informative! So many examples of things to do, stores in the area and prices. Most helpful Boquete video I have seen so far. We hope to move there summer 2025. Alto Boquete is definitely at the top of my list. We will be taking the group tour and then a couple of private tours once we can narrow it down to top 3 locations. Keep the videos coming!

Kind of sad that anytime I'm on a plane leaving the States, I breathe again. Very seriously thinking about Panama and Boqete is on my mind. Thank you for your insights. May see you there soon.

[@germainedance9035]

Great story guys, it’s so nice you found a place you love. We have never been to Panama and would love to go this winter. From your experience do you think it would be best that we arrive and then find accommodation because I know Airbnb is very expensive with all the fees. Thanks!

I love your home. It's perfect. If I'm counting right, this is your third video. You two give me great encouragement that I could do this too. Alto Boquete seems more relaxing than Boquete. Is that impression true? Thank you for moderating the chats! You are a blassing to PRT.

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

Alto Boquete is much more relaxing that downtown Boquete. There is ample parking in Alto Boquete and it's less crowded. Plus prices are more affordable in Alto Boquete.

[@RonElliot4610]

Excellent info and insight!! Panama is on my short list for retirement location along with a couple others. Boquete, & Volcan are my two fav locations in Panama!! God will direct!! 🙂

De nada

[@CohanMagazine]

Interested to see this neighbourhood is within walking distance of downtown Boquete. After living in rural Alberta, Canada, one of my biggest wishes is to be car free...lol Definitely need to look at the health insurance angle- coming from Canada, I'm used to not paying anything at all, but I imagine that difference is easily made up for by other savings.

[@anons1sefcik184]

Thank you so much.

[@JC-nh6ud]

Great video. I was in Panama all last week. I spent three days between Boquete and David. I was in the restaurant they show. Food was good. Boquete is beautiful, but a little small for me. I also went to David, but I think for the money, I would rather be in Panama City.

The headline says" Furnished $550 Three Bedroom House. Did I miss that part of the video? Why no shots inside and around the house?

[@mtngrl5859]

You might want to rewatch the video, there were interior shots plus the yard.

Watch the video again. The video has interior and exterior videos and drone shots of the neighborhood.

[@heikekelly7085]

You mentioned cancer and health insurance. Can you tell me more about this. Is it private/international health insurance? Do they include preexisting conditions? I had cancer 10 years ago and I am very healthy now? Looking to get more information about health insurance.

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

Cancer insurance is $63 a YEAR but it's only available for those who have never had cancer. They have private health insurance through Family Medical Plan. For a 60-69 year old, the cost is $102 per month. You can see their brochure at panamarelocationtours.com/health-insurance-options-in-panama

[@lanaswanson1743]

What is the cost of rent there? You probably mentioned it but I don’t” catch every thing. Also what is your temperature s. Through the winter?

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

They pay $550 a month rent for a furnished place that include all utility costs

[@H.O.P.E.1122]

Insurance and cost of living are issues that make Panama so attractive as well as many other things.

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

There are more rentals like theirs BUT you will not find them advertised on facebook or real estate agent websites. You can only find them by being in town talking to people.

How did you move to Panama before actual retirement age? Are you on disability, online employment, working still? Do u have friendly nations visa?

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

Come see how you can LIVE BETTER for LESS in Panama!

[@paulbrungardt9823]

I live between Colorado, USA and Boquete -- My observations -- Most Gringos relocating to Boquete will be gone in 3 years ; UNLESS-- you learn, at least, basic Spanish, integrate into community ( do not just stay within expat community) and do some community service ( such as aiding in schools). Cost of living in Panama is generally 50% of living in Colorado USA ; so if you are just only looking for low cost of living, Thailand & Vietnam is 75% less than in USA. Wherever you go, do something with your retirement time, to benefit the locals.

[@pathkris2984]

Assuming you chose a non-pensionado visa in this case as you don't have SS eligibility yet?

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

They got a Friendly Nations Visa and work permits.

[@pathkris2984]

@@PanamaRelocationTours Thank you, appreciate the clarification. In such a scenario, when one is eligible for a pensionado in the future, is it possible to switch to pensionado to not keep maintaining the friendly nations requirements?
