Live and Invest Overseas Editorial Director Kat Kalashian takes a closer look at why Panama continues to stand out as a top retirement destination. For years, this Central American nation has attracted retirees with its year-round warmth, affordable lifestyle, and modern comforts. Kat walks viewers through what living there is really like, from the cost of groceries to the ease of accessing quality health care.
She highlights Panama’s popular Pensionado visa, designed to help retirees settle in smoothly with long-term residency benefits, and touches on other residency options for those planning a new chapter abroad. The discussion also covers the pros and everyday experiences of expat life, whether that means beach towns, mountain communities, or the bustle of Panama City.
For anyone considering making the move, Kat offers a balanced look at who might thrive in Panama’s laid-back environment and what to expect once living there. Those ready to explore further can join the upcoming Live and Invest in Panama Conference in January for detailed insights, expert advice, and firsthand stories from current expats.
My Take…
As you may know by now, Panama is not on my list, but I have a bunch of friends that are happily retired in Panama and love it.

Kat gives props to the Pensionado visa, Panama’s “come chill here forever” deal, plus other routes for wannabe retirees. Beach hammocks, mountain coffee, or city buzz, take your pick.
