Moving from the USA to Panama

[@Explorer63-k6d]

Incredible and inspiring story of a 69 year old man.

[@mwsw50]

Thanks Jackie & thank you Gene, Gene seems like such a nice man, probably be a great neighbor

[@marilynandjim5624]

This was such a JOY to watch! Gene seems like such a pleasant person, like someone you'd like to have at a dinner party! Thank you, Gene, and thank you Jackie, for having this video made to share with others :)

[@johnashcraft2973]

Gene, thank you for posting this video. I can hardly wait to move to Panama. Your video Is very encouraging and has great information. I’ve also traveled to Mexico for many years and love the people there, but I’m so thankful I ran across Panama relocation tours because now I plan to move to Panama.

[@omrtnz5100]

Those are my plans exactly. Panama as home base and travel from there. Good to hear it worked for you.

[@tallnubian]

Thank You Jackie & Gene!! Wonderful hearing of Gene's experiences moving from US to Panama. wow, sounds like JUST having SS is enough. I wonder if I could retire now? I'd want a garden to grow veggies like Daniel Davies(previous video) does with his greenhouse...NOT on that scale though. Thanks Gene for mentioning buying a car as well. I was surprised at how easy it sounds. THANKS AGAIN!!

[@fanfare100]

Thank you for sharing your experience. For sure, nobody can live off of social security in the U.S. anymore. And I like how you said that you can not only exist by it in Panama, but actually have a life of leisure with peace of mind and in a nice neighbourhood without feeling like you are barely scraping by. Like it's as though you found that elusive "American Dream" ... in Panama.

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

it takes the stress away when you know you can live well on just social security.

[@jilmacenteno9617]

Are there small apartments or studios , just for people that would like to go to get a feeling of Boquete. Do you have the number for Jackie for orientation. Iam in the south bay area , Calif. Have a nice week!

[@fanfare100]

@@jilmacenteno9617 The times I have gone there on vacation I have stayed at an AirBNB. But if you want something longer term, Jackie can probably point you in the right direction with impartiality because she does not take kickbacks..

[@susanwaterworth5622]

Thank you. I can't wait to come on a tour.

[@johnrenoveillon3841]

Another great interview... we can't wait until we can get back there.

[@marylightfoot4817]

Thank you Gene. Very encouraged about moving 2 Panama. Will check out a tour. 🙂

great video i like to go and see!...thank you.

[@Vivi30908]

Please tell me if you had to purchase a round trip ticket when you had to finalize your move

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

If you do not have a residency visa, you need a round trip ticket.

[@Vivi30908]

​@@PanamaRelocationTours Thank you.

[@klee80111]

Thanks for your posting. Can I ask you what area you live?

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

Gene lives in Alto Boquete.

[@j.r.r.2185]

Thanks Gene for the honest assessment. Any chance that living on SS alone is not more than $1500 a month?

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

YES, a single person can easily live on $1500 a month in most places in Panama. (but not Panama City or Coronado)

[@j.r.r.2185]

[@loop5899]

Some i know who live out in the pampa told me you can live already with 800 incl. housing. It always depends on each exception and commitments.

Thanks, Gene, for giving that awesome review of my country! Welcome to Panama!

Thank you for a nice video. May I ask about how much rent is where you are? Thanks!

[@russlogan181]

600

[@ckSport3000]

I've watched several of your videos, but as of now, end of August, I see on the internet that Panama is not open to American travelers right? Curtis in Las Vegas.

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

Panama opens their borders to international travelers on October 12th. Here are more details about their reopening plan panamarelocationtours.com/breaking-news-panamas-plans-to-open-the-borders

[@Ocean245]

A great video thank you for posting! Great to know 1500 a month is enough for a single person.

[@julioarrieta6295]

How much is the monthly buget.....rent,food,internet,utility

[@pooltimepickers3403]

My wife and in-laws want to live in Panama. My In-laws don't quite qualify with the $1000 a month pension. Will I be able to have my In-laws as my dependents as my pension is enough to cover all of us?

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

You need to ask a Panamanian immigration attorney.

[@miar.4507]

I admired you!!! I'm from Panama myself and I really wanted to move to my country when is time to retire, but I'm a little scared to do it. Hope you enjoy Chiriqui!!I

[@fanfare100]

Is your sister named Terra? If so, say hello. Both of you and I went to the same school if that's the case. If not, don;t worry about it. lol

Very good

[@Dailyinput244]

Can we travel to panama from USA? Aren’t they still locked down?

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

not yet. Panama's borders are scheduled to open October 12th -- here are the details that we have so far... panamarelocationtours.com/breaking-news-panamas-plans-to-open-the-borders

[@fanfare100]

Here's your calendar reminder. lol As of tomorrow, you can travel to Panama from the U.S.A. But you may need to be tested for covid, given that the U.S.A. has 20% of the world-wide deaths from covid, even though the U.S.A. only has 5% of the world population. So, to avoid that danger most countries are taking precautionary measures towards U.S travelers. That said, you'll be glad to know that Panama's infection rate is down to 0.69% per day and the mortality rate is at 0.32% per day. So you are much less likely to get infected in panama or die from the pandemic ,even if there is yet to be a good vaccine for it. Because, apparently, when it comes to managing the pandemic, Panama seems to have its act together and Panamanians in general so far have been taking the matter seriously.

[@Ocean245]

I love your videos...

[@romyenglish]

how much you paid for the car?

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

He paid $10,000 for the car. Less than 20,000 miles and in perfect condition

[@fanfare100]

Another point of reference is: My sister purchased a brand spanking new Mitsubishi Mirage from a dealership for $12,750. I forget how much she put down but her monthlies are at around $180. Insurance in Panama is much much less than in the U.S. too.

[@d201120112011]

Getting tired of the BS here in States including weather extremes was about 100 degrees here a week ago and today 40s lol

[@Tanker1106]

Scorpions...what about scorpions?

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

Panama is in the tropics.. so yes, you'll probably see a scorpion once in awhile.

[@LonskiBig]

..............Things might be cheaper in Panama.....!!

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

Lonnie. Things are more affordable in some areas in Panama but not in all areas in Panama. Panama City and the Coronado area are expensive.
