Why do people move to Panama?
When we asked people why foreigners move to Panama, they responded...
"I am living in Nueva Gorgona for multiple reasons. I looked at Coronado first but I like the small town and local cultural feel that in Nueva Gorgona gives you. I believe prices are less than the weather going to be in the Coronado. I’m renting a two bedroom one bath apartment for $800 a month very close to the beach with an ocean view walking distance to numerous restaurants and small markets. I really enjoy getting to know the locals very friendly and gracious people here," explained one expat living in Nueva Gorgona, Panama.
"Panama's ideal tropical climate, world class infrastructure and low taxes are some of the primary attractions that draw expats to move there. Additionally, Panama enjoys a stable political and economic environment, providing a safe and secure environment in which to establish new lives. The country also boasts a wide diversity of activities and attractions to explore, both in the city and in the stunning landscapes nearby. From rainforests to sandy beaches and mountains, Panama has much to offer those looking for a new home. With a vibrant culture and intriguing history, it's easy to see why many expats have chosen to call Panama home," said another in Panama.
