Panama: First – World Convenience at Third-World Prices.
Inside International Living’s special report on Panama—you’ll find out why this stunning retreat is one of the best retirement havens in the world.
Panama has long been considered one of the top places in the world to retire…and rightly so. Thousands of contented expats already enjoy a laidback, low-cost lifestyle.
One of the biggest benefits of living in Panama is being able to take advantage of Panama’s Pensionado program—the best program of its kind in the world. To qualify, you simply must draw a pension of at least $1,000 per month, and a host of discounts on your daily living expenses will be available to you.
Pensionados are entitled to 15% off hospital and doctor bills; 25% off airline tickets and restaurants; 30% off bus, boat, and train fares; and 50% off entertainment—movies, theatre, sports, and concerts—and hotel stays.
The discounts make a real difference for many retirees, who see their retirement income stretch farther and can enjoy a higher quality of daily life—like eating out regularly at Panama’s wide range of restaurants. For a bargain lunch, stop at a family-owned eatery where you’ll fill up on a plate heaped with meat or fish, rice, beans, and salad for about $4.
If you’re seeking a welcoming community, with plenty of activities and options to keep busy, as well as an engaging and fulfilling social life, you may feel right at home in Panama.

Who is International Living?
International Living has been helping people retire better for less overseas since 1979. With experts based all around the world, nobody is better equipped to share up-to-date insights and intelligence about the best places on the planet to upgrade your lifestyle while you spend less.
In newspapers and on TV, you get lots of discussion about politics, economic woes, and war... lots of doom and gloom. But what you rarely learn is what you can do about it. Here at International Living, we’re all about solutions.
You have great options overseas today that nobody else will tell you about—friendly, safe, good-value places where you can retire like a millionaire on a tradesman’s budget. Places where you can enjoy a comfortable, dignified retirement on a Social Security check alone. No kidding.
At International Living, we tell you about proven ways you can improve your life overseas, retire better, save on taxes, gain freedom and control, and travel more… even if your nest egg is modest... even if you’ve saved nothing at all.
Ours is a world full of promise and opportunity. A world where people live well, in beautiful surrounds…where wealth is measured less by the acquisition of stuff and more by the pleasure created in the good company of friends and family. Expats tell us all the time: I’m healthier now, less stressed, happier, wealthier. You could be, too.
The point is: You don’t have to be rich or famous to live well today and retire comfortably... you just have to know where to go. And at International Living, we’ll show you.

What are International Living Postcards?
International Living Postcards is what we call our free daily e-letter. Inside we share recommendations, insights, guidance, and real-world stories from our contributors living all around the world.
We show you what life is really like in the places we recommend and we’ll help you match your idea of an “ideal haven” with a real-world place on the planet.
In our view, as you’ll see, “cheap” alone is not a worthy objective. We don’t look for it here at International Living—and nor should you. Just because you can buy a coffee for a dime or stay in a hotel for $20 a night—that’s not reason enough to go someplace.
What we chase is good value. Places where few pennies buy big rewards…where that ten-cent coffee is the best coffee you’ve ever tasted, or that twenty-buck room comes with a personal butler.
We’re looking for the sorts of destinations where you could take $100 out of an ATM on Monday, eat out every day, rent a sailboat for a morning, meet friends for drinks, pay your utility bill…and still have change leftover on Friday.
Our experts are folks just like you—people who tired of the pace at home, the expense, the stress... people who longed for a reinvented retirement, for the adventure and the fun.
And in our International Living Postcards every day, they show you how to follow in their footsteps. Welcome...
We wanted a Caribbean destination, but would never have considered Belize, had it not come to my attention in your publication. For that, my husband & I will be forever grateful, as moving here was the best decision we've ever made.
I am sure you have heard many variation of this story but I wanted to write to add my tale and say thanks. Thank you for your excellent publications and straight shooting information. Thank you for opening my eyes to other parts of the world and opportunities I didn’t know existed.
Not only have we been able to live quite easily [overseas] on my modest pension, our lives have been literally transformed for the better. ...Thank you for what has been such great advice and information that has allowed my wife and me to quite literally change our lives.
