Not Yet Of ‘Official’ Retirement Age? You Can Still Qualify for Panama’s World-Class Retirement Program!
Panama’s pensionado program is the most generous and appealing program of special benefits you’ll find anywhere in the world today.
And no matter your age, you can qualify for Panama’s Pensionado Program – widely recognized as the best retirement program in the world. Just provide documentation of a guaranteed pension income of $1,000 a month from a government agency (e.g. social security, disability, armed forces) or corporation. If you buy a home in Panama valued at $100,000 or more, that amount is reduced to just $750 per month.
As a qualified pensionado in Panama, you’re entitled to:
- 50% off entertainment—such as movies, theaters, concerts, and sporting events—anywhere in the country
- 50% off closing costs for home loans and more…
- 50% off hotel stays from Monday through Thursday
- 30% off hotel stays from Friday through Sunday
- 30% off bus, boat, and train fares
- 25% off airline tickets
- 25% off at restaurants
- 20% off medical consultations
- 20% off professional and technical services
- 15% off hospital bills (if no insurance applies)
- 15% off dental and eye exams
- 10% off prescription medicines
- And more…
You’re also entitled to a one-time exemption from duties on the importation of your household goods (up to $10,000). And an exemption every two years from duties on the importation or local purchase of a car.
But don’t just take it from me…
The AARP says Panama is a “smart choice for retirees who want it all.”
Forbes reports, “It truly can be paradise.”
And the Washington Post says: “With all of its benefits and active expatriate community, Panama is among the most affordable and appealing options for retirees.”
In Panama you can have it all: a genuinely cosmopolitan capital city with one of the world’s largest financial districts… hundreds of miles of spectacular beaches… highland retreats with green valleys where the weather is spring-like, even in January and August… and did you know that there are never any hurricanes?
If you crave sunshine, you’ll love Panama, where the sun shines almost every day of the year.
So please, don’t put off your dreams of a better, less-stressful (and lower cost) life any longer…
The very best way to find out if Panama is right for you ?

Come away with all the knowledge and contacts necessary to make your move happen with confidence.
I’m Jackie Flynn, International Living publisher. For years International Living has been sharing information about all that Panama has to offer. As quality of life (worsened by crumbling economies) deteriorates elsewhere in the world, Panama looks better and better…
Nowhere else can you enjoy such a comfortable life…with near-perfect year-round weather, excellent medical care, fresh, healthy food straight from the farmer’s truck…and a retirement incentive program that’s truly welcoming of expats…
More than any other destination that International Living covers, Panama is – hands down – the most popular. And there are
so many reasons why…
Panama meets all the criteria on most anyone’s ‘perfect overseas lifestyle’ checklist:
Close to the U.S. (just a 2 ½ hour flight from Miami)
Political stability and very low crime rates
Excellent weather, with a climate for everyone, from tropical beaches to temperate mountains
Top-quality healthcare – the gleaming new Punta Pacifica Hospital is affiliated with Baltimore’s renowned Johns Hopkins Hospital
No income taxes on foreign-earned income
Now, it’s true that a lot of the things I’ve just mentioned can be found in other Latin American countries, too. Some are even closer to the U.S. (but not by much). And many have democratically elected governments. (Although few are as stable and safe as Panama.)
But there are some things that are unique to Panama that you may not be aware of:
You can drink the tap water
No property taxes on homes or condos constructed in the last 20 years
The U.S. dollar is the official currency
A built-in community of English-speaking locals and expats
No hurricanes
The world’s best retirement incentive program, and…
It’s affordable, affordable, affordable – live well on as little as $2,000 a month or less!
