Who’s Your Pilot?

Would you get on a flight to Panama if you knew the pilot had never flown a plane before?

Certainly not!

Would you hire a doctor who has never done a surgery to do an open-heart surgery on you?

Absolutely not!

Would you trust a young eco-tour guide who’s only “tourism” experience was working at a hotel, doing hikes in the rain forest or rum factory tours to give you information about retiring to Panama? Or even worse, would you trust an IT guy who only has experience stealing other people’s website/business ideas? Unethical!

Yikes! Of course not! You should not trust your relocation or retirement to amateurs.

What our tour clients have to say..

MOVING TO A DIFFERENT COUNTRY HAS ITS CHALLENGES. DON’T MOVE BLINDLY!

My husband and I both came on Jackie’s Relocation tour in March and I must say it met all our expectations and more. Jackie has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to best places to live in Panama, immigration rules, the culture, the people, the laws and rules of the land and so much more. Jackie is quite patient with everyone in terms of the various questions that are posed to her during the tour. Everyday she chooses a topic and discusses it to the fullest. We were even given a book with all the necessary vital information should we choose to relocate.

Jackie shared many of her personal stories, some dos and donts, tried and true experiences, and basically equipped us with the knowledge to face the relocation challenge.

We are well pleased with this tour and would highly recommend to anyone who is thinking about moving to Panama. Moving to a different country has its challenges. Don’t move blindly. Take the tour and in the end you will have a lot more peace of mind as you will be making informed decisions.

EVERYBODY KNOWS AND RESPECTS JACKIE

KUDOS to Jackie and the entire Panama Relocations Tour family! My friend and I attended the February 2-7 tour and the decision was made while we were there that Panama would be the perfect place for “Life, chapter 2”! As a matter of fact, she will be there in May to begin her process and I will be there in June, to start mine.Like many others, I had read all the posts, watched all the videos, received the emails from PRT about upcoming tours and life in Panama….but still with all that, there were many questions; and when I tell you that EVERY single question was addressed and answered either by Jackie, her team or their location guide you receive on day one. We received more solid information during this tour than we could’ve found by researching for years on our own.

Jackie was just getting over a slight illness when our tour began, but believe me, you would’ve never known it if she hadn’t told us, this lady never missed a beat! It seemed she knew the answers to the questions, before they were even asked! She is very open, honest and most importantly “down to earth”. The first contact was made through Melissa, she was very responsive, professional and thorough, we arrived several days early, and she made sure that we received the hotel discounts and that everything was in order for the beginning of our tour.

From Melissa, to Jorge to Jackie and all the people that we met along the way….and there were a lot of them, EVERYBODY knows and respects Jackie and the PRTteam!!! It was a good feeling knowing that we were in good hands. The transportation was very nice and clean, the hotels we stayed in were top notch and gave us a feel for some of the different areas and what to expect in each of them. Being able to view all the different living options was a “biggie” for me, seeing first hand, condo’s and homes for sale or rent was amazing.

I could go on and on…..but I won’t, I’ll just say if you want to experience Panama, and have a slight inkling that you may want to move or retire there, you will not be disappointed by taking this tour! You will have all of your questions or concerns addressed. Jackie is a walking GOOGLE…..she will give it to you straight, and even afterwards, she will assist you in any way she can.

Why Retire in Panama?

Panama offers a lower cost of living than North America or Europe. The lower cost means your pension will go much further in Panama and you will not need to dip in to your savings during retirement. A couple can live well on $2000 per month in most areas in Panama including rent.

My average monthly expenses are only about $1000 a month, including international health insurance. I purchased my house, so I don’t pay rent. Because my house purchase price was only $120,000, I will never have any property taxes. My house insurance is less than $200 a year. And my average electric bill is about $25 a month. My water bill is only $100 a year!

Even if you pay rent, you should be able to keep your monthly living expenses well under $2000 for a couple. In many areas in Panama, you can get a nice furnished 2-bedroom 2-bath rental house for about $700 a month. That price includes all utilities and a weekly gardener. Some areas are even more affordable but some areas will cost more. During a Panama Relocation Tour, I show you a variety of different areas, in a variety of different price points to help you find the ideal place to live in Panama.

Many say, including me, that it is a better quality of life in Panama too. Fresh fruits and vegetables are readily available at very affordable prices. It’s quite possible that your health will improve when you move to Panama. Some people have been able to get off all medications after moving to Panama.

There’s so much to do in Panama too! Because you’re retired, you’ll finally have time to do the things you’ve always wanted to do. There are hiking groups, cooking classes, gardening groups, birding, live music and dancing… the list goes on and on of things you can do in Panama. If you live at the beach, you may decide to spend a day in the mountains for a change of scenery – it’s only a 1 hour drive. If you live in the mountains it is a 1 hour drive to the Pacific Ocean or a 3 hour drive to the Caribbean Sea.

When you retire in Panama, you’ll meet some very interesting people who come from all over the world to live in beautiful Panama. Your life in Panama will be a totally new experience and adventure.

Every day will be a new and interesting day with places to go, things to do, and people to meet. Or, you can just sit back and relax while enjoying the spectacular views in Panama.

Compared to many other countries, Panama has better roads and infrastructure like internet water and electricity.

Panama is known for it’s excellent health care and hospitals including the Cleveland Clinic affiliate Hospital Paitilla and the Johns Hopkins affiliate Punta Pacifica Hospital. Panama’s doctors are well trained and many speak excellent English. A doctor visit is only $12 in Boquete or $40 for a specialist (these prices are not co-pays).

Panama’s Retiree Discounts

A big bonus for retirees in Panama is the world famous Pensionado Visa. This residency Visa will allow you to live in Panama indefinitely if you want to. And it also entitles you to many discounts like

• 50% off on recreation and entertainment such as movies, theaters, sports, etc.
• 50% off hotels Monday through Thursday (30% off on weekends)
• 50% off passports
• 30% off public transportation like buses, trains, and boats
• 25% off airfare
• 25% off restaurants (15% off fast food)
• 25% off electrical, telephone, and water service
• 20% off doctors and specialists
• 20% off prosthetics and other personal assistance devices
• 15% off hospitals and private clinics
• 15% off dental and optometry services
• 10% off prescription medications
• tax-free importation of household goods, up to $10,000

These retiree discounts add up to BIG SAVINGS for you.

There’s even a special line at the bank for retirees so you don’t need to wait in long lines ever again.

Now that you can see the many benefits if you retire in Panama, let’s talk about HOW you actually do it!

How to Retire in Panama?

A Panama Relocation Tours is the fastest and easiest way to explore Panama and determine where you’d want to live while also learning about Visa options, affordable health insurance, how to find a rental, how to get your pet to Panama, how to buy a car in Panama, and much more. This is a 6-day, 7-night, all-inclusive tour which will take you all over Panama to help you find the city where you want to live. We’ll also introduce you to expat retirees in each area. Most of our tour clients retire in Panama within 6 months of taking a Panama Relocation Tour!

Why Panama Relocation Tours?

This is NOT a touristy tour. It’s not about zip lines or visiting rum factories.

Since 2010, my ONLY focus with Panama Relocation Tours, is to teach people what they need to know to relocate and retire in Panama the EASY and most AFFORDABLE way. Because I’m retirement age too, and semi-retired, I fully understand what your needs and concerns are. During a Panama Relocation Tour, you’ll even learn about the unique customs in Panama so you never have an awkward moment.

Panama Relocation Tours has hundreds of testimonials from satisfied customers. You can see the the testimonials on my website HERE, on Facebook HERE and on Youtube HERE. I’ve helped hundreds of people retire in Panama. I am confident that I can help you retire in Panama too. I’ll take all the guesswork out of how to retire in Panama.

No one knows more about how to retire in Panama than I do!

I moved to Panama in 2010. But before that, I lived in three other counties including the United States, Germany and Puerto Rico. Plus, I have spent time in 26 other countries. All this, plus 60+ years of life experiences, helped me compare Panama with the pros and cons of other retiring in other countries. Panama won hands down!

Come see how you can live BETTER for LESS in Panama. You will be amazed!

Jackie Lange

Here’s what some previous tour clients had to say about Panama Relocation Tours.

Wow….was that a fabulous trip, or what??? Just to be able to go to a foreign country and be completely relaxed knowing someone took care of everything…..that was Jackie Lange! Like she would always say, “don’t worry” and she was right. Jackie is definitely a professional when it comes to all things Panama. We traveled from one end of the country to the other and saw so many amazing places, some more so than others, but that’s also what Jackie promised, not to sugar coat anything so we got the complete honest picture of Panama. Taking Jackie’s trip opened my eyes to the possibility that yes, I CAN move to another country and enjoy an amazing life. I would even consider taking the Relocation Tour trip a second time to see and do things I missed. Jackie is like reading a good book you can’t put down, or watching a favorite movie, once just isn’t enough to really get all the good parts. Her knowledge, experiences, recommendations shared were invaluable. Trust me, you really want to take this trip! Myra – September 2018 Tour

Just returned from the Panama relocation tour in July. This was an incredible experience thanks to Jackie, Melissa and staff. The tour was planned meticulously, every detail was taken care of and seemed effortless, even though I’m sure it took a vast amount of work and effort. Jackie’s knowledge and information provided was amazing in learning the in and outs of moving to Panama. I can’t say enough of Jackie’s knowledge, connections and great attitude throughout the trip. This was truly an experience of a lifetime and if you plan or ever thinking of moving to Panama this tour is a must! Gary – July 2018 Tour
