What Will You Learn on a Panama Relocation Tour?

The Panama Relocation Tour is packed with information and connections that can save you months of research and potential missteps. Here’s just some of what you’ll discover:

  1. Legal & Immigration Guidance
    Meet with vetted, English-speaking immigration lawyers who will guide you on the visa process. These professionals can answer your questions, help you understand the requirements for different visa options, and ensure you’re legally ready to make Panama your home.
  2. Real Estate Insights
    You’ll have the opportunity to meet with experienced real estate agents who specialize in helping expats. They’ll show you what’s available in the current market, discuss rental and purchase options, and share their knowledge of the most desirable (and affordable) places to live based on your needs and preferences.
  3. Healthcare & Insurance Advice
    During the tour, you’ll get information about insurance options and learn how health insurance works for expats in Panama. You’ll gain insights into local healthcare options, hospitals, and insurance plans that provide the best coverage for your needs. You’ll also get information about which hospitals accept US insurance or provide Veteran medical benefits.
  4. Networking with Expats
    Relocating isn’t just about choosing a location or a home; it’s about finding a community. On each tour, you’ll meet and have lunch or dinner with expats who have already made the move. They’ll share their personal stories, challenges, and advice, giving you a first-hand account of what it’s like to live as a foreigner in Panama.
  5. Cost of Living
    We’ll break down the cost of living in various regions, so you can make an informed decision about the area that fits your budget and lifestyle. Whether you’re looking for a bustling city or a quiet beach town, you’ll get a clear picture of monthly expenses, from housing to utilities to groceries.
  6. Banking and Financial Tips
    Setting up finances in a new country can be confusing, but we’ve got you covered. The tour includes guidance on opening a bank account, managing currency exchange, and understanding any tax implications for expats in Panama.
  7. Transportation and Infrastructure
    Learn about public transportation options, driving laws, and other logistical details that will make getting around Panama much easier. You’ll learn two ways to get a Panama driver’s license.
  8. Panamanian Culture and Customs

See these reviews:

My wife and I participated in PRT #259 and found the trip to be invaluable. Our Guides, John and Chuck were well versed in all aspects of relocation from immigration processes, relocation of personal items and pets, administrative processes and were able to entertain any number of questions posed by those of us on the tour.

John and Chuck shared firsthand examples of their challenges and successes alike. John availed himself multiple times in the hotel lobby to entertain our many questions (as we look to relocate to the area he currently resides in).

If there was an aspect of the trip that did not go as planned, we were unaware. Lodging was top notch; the food was plentiful and varied, and the firsthand experience and guidance of those who have gone before is money well spent

And this review:

Just returning from this tour with my wife. We cannot say enough about how well organized this tour is. If you want to retire, or want to relocate to start a new adventure in life, or even have a plan B for your future, this tour will help you.

Our guides for the week, John and Chuck, were beyond fantastic. They have a wealth of knowledge and are awesome at explaining all the ins and out of life in Panama. Also getting you all the info you need to make it happen.

You’ll get to see many different areas of the country, speaks with immigrations lawyers, talk to health professionals, see lots of rentals for every type of budget to get a good idea of where you may want to live (big city? beach life? mountain house?)

Moving to another country, made simple, with their help. Thank you so much to the whole team behind all this.

    ??? Hi Jackie, moving from the US, I hear from you that after 65, take out an Advantage Plan.
    Question, Isn’t the Advantage Plan an 80% coverage with a 20% pay after the deductable?
    A recent situation we had with Health Insurance, us being over 65 and using Medicare B and bought into the “G” Plan – This year, one of us had a two day, 1 night stay including all food and care, all tests for a stroke and, the bill came out to 189,000. We only paid for the deductable of $250.00. We didn’t have to pay the 20% plus the deductable that I understand that the Advantage Plan has a 20% fee…If we had Advantage Plan we would be out almost $40,000.
    Question, I’ve heard different about what Advantage Plan covers and their deductable..

    • Jackie Lange says

      Hi Michele, if you have the right Medicare Advantage plan, it covers 100% of urgent care or emergencies overseas.
