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, 6-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, all hotels, all meals during the tour dates PLUS all the information you need to relocate to Panama with ease.  You’ll learn all the technical things you need to know, like getting a Visa, finding a rental, where to get affordable health insurance and how to get your pets to Panama but you’ll also learn about cultural differences in Panama.   We’re your Panama Relocation Expert!  We’ve been doing Panama Relocation Tours for 9 years and have hundreds of 5-star reviews.

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 rentals just so you can see what’s available at various prices.   In fact, if you do move to Panama, I strongly advise that you do not buy right away, it’s better to rent for at least 6-12 months before you make a buying decision.

During the Panama Relocation tour, we’ll visit local shops and markets to discover the BETTER and MORE AFFORDABLE way to live.  Imagine dinner for two for less than $10 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. Panama City

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 20% 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.

Visit with Expats
Visit with Expats

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 $104,000 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
  • How to get BIG discounts on many purchases in Panama

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, in different price points, so you can decide which area is best for you.  You’ll fly in to Panama City to the Tocumen International Airport.   Our driver will meet you at the airport and take you to our preferred hotel in Panama City.  Even if you come in several days early, you can take advantage of our special “tour operator” rate for the Panama City hotel. You will need to arrive on the Friday before the tour begins so we cover the costs of your hotel that night.  The official tour always starts in a Saturday morning at 8:30am.


We only require a $500 per person to reserve your spot on the tour.  You can pay that ONLINE HERE.  The remainder is not due until 30 days before the tour.  We will send you a payment link for your final payment.

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 20-25 people 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, house sitting opportunities and much more.  Plus, after the tour we will continue to be readily available to answer your questions about relocating to Panama.

Tour Itinerary January – April 2019

We suggest that you arrive one to two days before the tour begins to spend some time exploring Panama City. Our friendly bi-lingual driver will pick you up at Tocumen International Airport and take you to the hotel where we stay in Panama City.

Once you’ve put down your deposit for the tour and provide us with your international arrival date, we can set up the hotel reservations you’ll need at our preferred hotel in Panama City before the tour starts. We book the room for you so you can get our discounted rate of $84/night (plus 10% tax) including breakfast and wifi. You pay for the room when you arrive.

From the minute the tour begins until it ends, ALL expenses (hotel, meals and ground transportation) will be included during the tour dates.

This is not a “tourist” tour.  For the past “9” years, the only kind of Tour that Panama Relocation Tours has ever done are tours to show you various areas in Panama where you might want to live AND to teach you all the things you need to know to make a smooth transition to living in Panama.

SEE TESTIMONIALS FROM PREVIOUS TOUR CLIENTS HERE

You’re required to arrive at least one day before the tour starts but you may want to arrive several days before the tour begins to do some exploring on your own! The tour does not spend much time in Panama City because we have never had a tour guest who was interested in living there. So if you are interested in Panama City you will need to arrive in Panama two days before the regular tour. On Friday before the Panama Relocation Tour starts, there is an OPTIONAL Panama City Tour with a bi-lingual driver who will to take you to various neighborhoods or tourist attractions, including the Panama Canal.

Panama Skyline
