What do I need to know before retiring in Bocas del Toro?

Answer this Question

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Bocas del Toro, they said...

"I would echo what the person who did the review on Boquete. Embrace the local culture and ways of doing things. Don't come here wanting to change the way folks have done things for a long time or try to make it like the US. At the same time you can teach the locals what you know in a nice way as you make friends with them," remarked another expat in Bocas del Toro, Panama.

"Expats should be aware that Bocas del Toro is a remote area with limited access to medical care and other services. It is important to research the availability of medical care and other services before retiring in Bocas del Toro. Additionally, expats should be aware that the cost of living in Bocas del Toro is relatively low, but the cost of imported goods can be high. It is also important to research the local laws and regulations before retiring in Bocas del Toro, as they may differ from those in other countries. Finally, expats should be aware that the local language is Spanish, so it is important to learn some basic Spanish before retiring in Bocas del Toro," said a member in Bocas del Toro, Panama.
