Things To Consider In Retiring In Panama

By Georgia Diaz


Many expats have thought of retiring in panama and this is because living in the country is very cheap. Come to think of it. The value of your money there is higher because you receive this amount of pension and yet you only spend this amount for the cost of living.

Take for example, they have a law there, the law 9 which was adopted in 1987 that requires its citizens to respect the elders. This means nobody can disrespect you there without facing the wrath of law. You can be sure to get some respect that you deserve.

They are far from useless from the community. They are contributing individuals to the community in the form of the taxes that the paid, the money that they paid for their daily needs. It is not like they are a burden to the community. In fact, this group of people contributes a lot to the economy of the place.

Not that you are really in constant communication or constantly seeing your friends here. It is just that when the need arise, you cannot just drive your way to their house or to your rendezvous. This is just saying that you they might not be able to visit you or vice versa that easily without having to buy a plane ticket or something.

It is very important that the place can provide for the health needs of the elderly people because they are the ones who are prone to sickness and are very fragile other than children. If you are planning of moving to this place, one of the things that you should check is their healthcare service. Check if they have good hospitals.

Check if there is anyone you know like friends or family members who are currently living in the place. It is a very good idea to get information straight from people who now resides in the place. Check up with them regarding their living condition. Read current reports about the place.

If the lawyer is not a Panamian, make sure that he is a lawyer or his law office specializes in processing immigration application to the place. Check the background of the lawyer helping you out in this as well as his law office. You can find some information on the web regarding the legal services of the law office.

You can find some on the internet but make sure to check on the date of the article. Read as many articles as you can about the place and make sure that they are recent. Sometimes a well rank piece of information can get to the top place of the search results not because they contain current information but because they were just simply ranked well by its owner.

They refer you to offices and other services that helped them in getting where they are right now. You might want to know also about the prevailing weather of the place. As a retiree, weather can become one of those things that you need to know when thoughts of retiring in Panama come to your mind.
