???My wife is panamanian and we built a retirement home in El Salado Panama in 2010 which we visit yearly. My panamanian family is a great source of information but I am considering buying the Relocation Guide to fill the information gaps. Also, we are retiring soon and I would like to find short term rentals from 1 to 2 months at a time to maximize our retirement. Do you think the Relocation Guide would be a good buy for me?

[@LeahsSpanishAdventure-on4sg]

Yes, it is a great buy, and is updated often.

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

Yes, the Online Guide will help fill in the gaps to help you have a smooth retirement in Panama.

[@victoriastewart166]

We have three dogs and would be driving from Mexico, is there a guide for what is needed for each country passing through, both for vehicle and dogs. Gracias.

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

We did livestream interviews recently about driving to Panama with dogs.

Very informative, thank you. Does other passive incomes also work for pensionado visa e. g. dividends?

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

No, passive income does not work to qualify for the pensionado visa. But there are other visa options.panamarelocationtours.com/other-panama-permanent-residency-visa-options

[@WolfF2022]

@@PanamaRelocationTours ok thank you. I`m a bit concerned about the medical exam for the visa, you need X-ray and vaccines?

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

@@WolfF2022 no xrays or vaccines. It's just an interview.

[@WolfF2022]

@@PanamaRelocationTours great, thank you for the info.

??? If you can stay in Panama for 180 days to explore and decide if you want to move there must you have a return ticket to your place of origin by a certain date ? I have been watching your videos for a long time and want to come next year. I was headed there this year but I broke my knee while visiting friends in San Diego, Ca. Still determined to get out of the US and hopefully Panama will be my next home. I practice my Spanish daily . Thank You for all the great information. Hopefully I’ll heal well and can take one of the tours next year.

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

You must show a ticket out of Panama not more than 180 days after you arrived. And leave Panama. But it does not have to be a ticket back to your departure city.

[@WolfF2022]

Seems onward tickets work also.

?.?.?David just started the process of pensionada visa. Don’t drive. Need a very good bus service. Possibly in an elevated area where it is cooler but also with little rain.Can you recommend e few towns furnished rental budget up to 600 pounds sterling. With a number English speaking locals

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

Boquete and Volcan. Volcan is more afforfable.

[@douglasconner-worthy213]

Hi Jackie, my husband and I are an elderly gay couple. (over 70 and over 80). A good friend of ours (performed our wedding ceremony) lived in Boquete for several years with his wife and spoke only of wonderful people and of the city. However, I have heard and read conflicting opinions of the safety and welfare of gay folks in Panama. I have yet to find retirement info for gay folks in Panama? Do you have any knowledge or perhaps from people you trust? The US just is no longer a financial or political environment conducive to the happiness and satisfaction of living in retirement. Help? Anyone?

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

Hello Douglas. In Panama, if you're a nice and friendly person, you'll be treated with respect. No one cares if you are gay or not gay in Panama. Come see how you can LIVE BETTER for LESS in Panama.

[@romaannegallant5654]

??? do you have to be 65 to get the pensionado visa?

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

[@MarianKnowlton]

???Did you consider Mexico residency??

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

I have Mexico residency too. But i much prefer living in Panama!!!

[@MarianKnowlton]

@@PanamaRelocationTours May I ask why? Do you feel the culture is as rich?

[@PanamaRelocationTours]

@@MarianKnowlton yes, the Panamanian culture is as rich. In Panama, it's more affordable, you can drink tap water and no cartel activity. The weather is better in Panama. No hurricanes in Panama!

[@MarianKnowlton]

Thank you! We are seriously considering!
