Commonly known as the ‘Hub of the Americas’, Panama continues to lure many expats to its shore for a number of reasons. Popular for being so conveniently located for travel to the US and Canada, it can essentially provide the ideal base from which the remainder of Latin America and the Caribbean can be explored.
Moreover, the country itself offers a diverse range of attractions from the skyscrapers, casinos and nightclubs to the colonial buildings in the Casco Viejo district and the rainforest of Natural Metropolitan Park. With a population of around four million it is not prone to feeling over-crowded. It is also well famed for providing a cheaper standard of living than the US and Europe and has a steady economy. It is also famed as one of the world’s best off-shore banking havens.
Panama has provided an ideal location for many of our customers for a myriad of reasons. It has always been a top destination for retirees, partly due to its low cost of living but also on the strength of its healthcare facilities and the relative ease with which a retiree visa can be obtained. Equally, the destination continues to offer the sense of economic growth, well developed infra-structure and skilled labour pool that attracts those wishing to set up a business abroad. For those wishing to relocate a family, Panama also offers a strong set of schooling options; with a good set of international and bi-lingual schools available as well as an ample offering of tutors for extra-curricular activities.
