Wow! Thank you Edith for sharing! I was born in Cristobal, Panama, Canal Zone in 1961. I love Panama, but have not been back since we moved to the States in 1972.

The Pensionado program in Panama is one of the best retirement programs in the world. To qualify, you must have verifiable minimum monthly income of US$1000.00 from a government program or private corporation.

For your spouse or minor children, your minimum income must be increased by US$250.00 per month per dependent.
