An Amazing Adventure Is Waiting For You!
Leave All Your Worries Behind…
Let Us Take Care Of Everything For You!

We’re Your Panama Relocation Experts!

Our 6 day 5 night ALL-INCLUSIVE Panama Relocation Tour ™ will introduce you to the inexpensive and wonderful lifestyle available when you retire in Panama. You’ll pay one flat fee for the Tour which will include all ground transportation, lodging, and meals during the Official Tour PLUS your flight back to Panama City after the tour!

Learn what life would be like when you retire in Panama

This is NOT a real estate buying tour. There is no agenda to “sell” you anything. My only goal is to introduce you to the Panamanian way of life and give you all the information you need to make a smooth retirement in Panama. You will get information about homes for sale and rentals just so you can see what’s available at various prices.  But I’m not trying to sell you anything.  In fact, if you do decide to move to Panama, I strongly advise that you DO NOT BUY, it’s better to rent for at least 6-12 months before you make a buying decision.

We’ll visit local shops and markets to discover the BETTER and MORE AFFORDABLE way to live.  Imagine dinner for two for less than $8 including drinks!

You’ll discover why so many
people are retiring in Panama!

The tour will take you from large metropolitan areas to resort beach areas that have every amenity and luxury you’d ever need, and funky beach areas with a laid back atmosphere.  You’ll  also visit popular highland towns where thousands of expats live, and rural areas teeming with opportunity.

You will see for yourself how the Panama health care system works, how you can get health insurance for as little as $70 per month, and where prescription medication can cost far less than the US or Canada.  You’ll learn the secret to getting a 90% discount on all medications.  Many drugs can be purchased without a prescription.  Bring a list of medications you currently take to see what they will cost in Panama. International health insurance is also available which will cover you in Panama, your home country, and anywhere else in the world. You’ll be shocked at how affordable international health insurance is in Panama. (I pay $2200 a YEAR for international health insurance)

Everyone who has been on our tours says the highlight of the tour is the opportunity to visit with expats who live in Panama. You’ll have plenty of time to ask questions and get answers from people who have already made the move to Panama. See the photo below… this was a visit to Richard Detrich’s (author of “Escape to Paradise) home and coffee farm in Palmira.

You will meet with a reputable Panamanian attorney so you can learn about the various Visa options including the Pensionado visa and Friendly Nations Visa. Learn how you can get big discounts on every day purchases. Plus you’ll learn about other visa programs if you’re not retired.  Our attorney will answer your questions about buying real estate or setting up a business, too.  It’s a lot easier than you think!

There’s More…

You’ll learn how to move your existing business offshore and how you can reduce your taxes by about $102,000 per year, per person if you are a US citizen. Luckily, people from most other countries do not need to pay taxes on their worldwide income.

I’ll help you get an offshore bank account set up in about an hour – it’s much easier than you think.

Before we moved to Panama, I spent hundreds of hours researching how we would get things “done” when we moved here.  To make your life easier and save you hundreds of hours of research, everyone on the tour gets my ROLODEX which includes:

• Health insurance companies, plus little trick to save an extra 30%
• Private hospitals, Doctors, Dentists, and specialists
• How to find a rental.. and things to watch out for

NO ONE knows more about Panama than we do!

You’ll be able to learn in 6 days if Panama is right for you and how you can improve your lifestyle with less expense and less stress!  We visit a variety of different areas so you can decide which area is best for you.

You’ll fly in to Panama City to the Tocumen International Airport.   My driver will meet you at the airport.  We will make arrangements for you to stay at a beautiful hotel in the exclusive El Cangrejo area, with many restaurants and casinos within walking distance.  Even if you come in several days early, you can take advantage of our special “tour operator” rate for the Panama City hotel.

Speaking of walking distance, if you can’t walk 1-2 blocks on unlevel surfaces, go up and down stairs easily, and sit in a bus 1-2 hours, this tour and Panama may NOT be for you.  Sorry, but we have no way to make special arrangements if you are not able to get around easily on your own.  Panama’s sidewalks are not level so you need to be very careful everywhere you walk.

Once you sign up for the tour, you will receive our Welcome Package which contains lots of tips and tricks to make your trip to Panama easier.  You’ll also learn what luggage you should and should NOT bring and how to save money if you use your cell phone.

A $500 per person deposit is required to reserve your spot on the tour.  You can pay that ONLINE HERE or call our office at 972-496-4500.  The remainder is not due until 30 days before the tour.  We will send you a payment link for your final payment. Once your final payment is made, we will start helping you make arrangements for things to do before or after the tour.  It will be necessary for you to turn in all pre and post tour arrangements not later than 2 weeks before your tour (30 days before is even better).  Failure to plan early may make it impossible to do some of the things you want to do.

Once you sign up for a tour, you will receive a Welcome Package with ideas of things to do before or after the tour.

You will see that taxis and buses are readily available, convenient, low cost, and versatile. Uber is available in Panama City too.. you can even request an English speaking Uber driver!  You can compare these scenic, fresh air, and friendly rides to your present mode of commuting.   A car and all associated expenses may not be necessary in Panama depending on where you live.

During the tour you will learn what life is like when you retire in Panama.  You’ll get some of the best kept secrets we’ve discovered since moving here.  Sign up early because our tours sell out several months in advance.  Even though we have a large comfortable 44 passenger bus, we keep the tour size low at 20-30 people maximum so seating will be comfortable and there will be plenty of time for me to answer your questions.

After the tour, you will be invited to our private forum where you will get updates about Panama, information about great deals on rentals, and much more.  Plus, after the tour we will continue to be readily available to answer your questions about relocating to Panama.

We’re Ready to Show You How to Retire in Panama!

Suggestions:  Plan to stay an extra week so you can do some exploring on your own.  Almost everyone who has attended a tour has extended their stay.  If you plan in advance to stay an extra 3-7 days you won’t need to change your flight.

Refunds: Full refunds will only be issued if you cancel 30 days prior to the tour the first time you register for a tour.  No other refunds will be issued after 30 days.  Just like cruise ships, we have limited spots and will not be able to issue a refund.  All hotel rooms and most meals are booked and paid for prior to the tour.  We can’t get a refund if there is a cancellation, so we will not be able to give you one.  Pick your dates wisely.

Cancellations:  We realize that things happen and you may need to cancel your tour.  You can move your deposit to a different tour if you let us know 30 days in advance or we can issue a refund.  Once it is 30 days prior to your tour, no refunds will be issued.  If you cancel two times then want to sign up again, you will be required to pay the FULL FARE in advance and you will not get a refund if you cancel again regardless of how far out you give us notice.  We spend hundreds of hours planning each tour.  When there is a cancellation, it adds extra time and effort for our team.

Move Tour Date:  If you need to move to a different tour date, there is no charge if you let us know 30 days before your tour.  You are allowed a date change one time.

Baggage Restrictions: You will be STRICTLY limited to one carry on bag and one small personal bag per person .  This will also make it much faster and easier for you to get through immigration and customs coming in to Panama and back to your home country.  There will be laundry facilities at many of the places we will be staying and the hotel in Boquete will do your laundry for you for a small fee.  YOU will be responsible for getting your luggage on and off the bus and carrying it in to hotels.  Pack light!

Special Requirements:  All tour guests will be required to sign a Tour Release/Non-compete agreement.
