Researching Panama for Retirement

Post new topic

Hello All,

Just starting the venture of looking to retire abroad.  Panama and the Dominican Republic are the countries that I am considering.

Any of you who are currently living in those areas feel free to share your experience with me. I wish to live within a community alongside the residents of the country versus primarily in a community of expats.

Looking forward to hearing your stories!

David

Hi new_soil,

Your topic was moved to the Panama forum for better visibility.

I suggest you to go through the Panama forum, Everyday Life section, where you may find more information. Hope this might be helpful.

Thank you,

David.
