| Panama |
Panama is one of the best places in the world for retirees to retire today, it combines a low cost of
living, wonderful tropical weather, and one of the best discount programs for retirees in the world.
"Panama's Pensionado" program (incentive program for retirees), is considered one of the best in the
world and is not necessarily age related.
Healthcare
Conveniently, Panama is also ranked among the best countries in Latin America in health care.
Panama offers excellent quality medical care and modern hospitals in the metropolitan areas. Many
Panamanian doctors are U.S trained, and the standards at the top Panamanian hospitals compare
favourably to those in the US. American private health insurance policies are accepted in most
Panamanian hospitals, though private health insurance is available and much less expensive than
American insurance.
Investment
To encourage long term foreign investment, Panama does not require special permits, authorization or
registration to qualify investors. The 1998 Investment Stability Law protects investments of more than $
2,000,000 for 10 years from any changes in tax, customs, municipal and labour laws.
"Pensionado Program"
Panama's "Pensionado program" is considered to be among the best in the world for the large array of
benefits it offers. Some of the key benefits are:
Tax exemption to import a new car every two years
25% discounts on utility bills
25% discount on airline tickets
30% discount on bus, boat and train fares
1% reduction on home mortgages for homes used for personal residence
20% discount on doctor's bills and 15% on hospital services if no insurance applies
15% off on dental and eye exams
10% discount on medicines
And more!
