Moving to Panama is about new adventures. What we hear from new or soon-to-be expats in Panama, more than anything, is a desire to give back.
Volunteering in the community you choose to spend your time is something we recommend to everyone. Not only are you helping others, you’re helping yourself. Plus, volunteering offers instant access to a social circle and network of friends you might not otherwise encounter.
Panama offers countless opportunities for people wishing to volunteer in their new home, with dozens of organizations, foundations, programs, and informal groups to get involved with. In this Special Report, we’ll introduce you to some of the best and most popular initiatives going on in Panama today.

One Country, Three Niche Markets
Get Started, Offshore & Taxes, Panama Special Reports, Real Estate & InvestingOne Country, Three Niche Markets
You can retire in Panama, you can vacation in Panama, and now… you can get rich in Panama.
When you invest in Panama’s real estate you won’t be faced with language barriers, legal uncertainty, or currency dilemmas. Three niche markets in Panama are your sure bet, as an investor, to make money.
Market One gives you the opportunity to buy property at a below-market rate, which you will then sell to the potential buyers who are not being catered to. Within Market Two, you’ll be able to cater to traveling businesspeople and medical tourists, which is booming in Panama and a great time for real estate with short-term-let licenses. Market Three caters to two different groups you wouldn’t think belong in the same category… families and surfers.

Panama Votes For A Change… Again!
For the sixth time since the 1989 U.S. invasion and ousting of Panamanian military ruler Manuel Noriega, Panamanians chose not to re-elect the ruling president’s political party.
Corruption dominated the narrative… which isn’t new in Panamanian politics. In 2014, Juan Carlos Varela was also elected on an anti-corruption message.
Panamanians had high hopes for Varela. But an ongoing bribery scandal involving Brazilian construction company Odebrecht ensnarled him. By late 2018, the Odebrecht case had over 75 suspects, 5 convictions, and more than US$255 million in recovered public funds. “Recovered public funds” just means past bribes.
Varela’s approval tanked from around 80% when he was first elected to 20% near the end of the term. People lost faith that he could reign in those exploiting Panama’s anything-goes political and economic climate. And they were right…
Enter pro-business, pro-agriculture, longtime anti-corruption advocate Laurentino “Nito” Cortizo. Panama’s prospects look bright.

Taboga Island | Panama Special Report
Get Started, Panama, Panama Special Reports, Retirement & LifestyleTaboga Island | Panama Special Report
Taboga is a 12.1-square-km island that sits in the Gulf of Panama in the Pacific Ocean. The handiwork of volcanic forces, its hilly topography offers spectacular vistas of Panama City and the gigantic ocean liners that queue to enter the Panama Canal. Also known as La Isla de Las Flores (the Island of Flowers), it’s not only the sights that draw you in but the sounds and smells… This is a place that’s steeped in history.
Taboga is only 20 kms offshore, meaning it could almost qualify as a Panama City neighborhood… It’s close enough that you can enjoy the conveniences of the capital, but far away enough that you’re removed from its chaos. Its expat population, mostly made up of retirees from Canada, England, and the States, accounts for roughly 20% of the total number of residents. Many of them own businesses while others simply bask in the tranquility of island living.
In this Panama Special Report, we step off the ferry with you onto Panama’s most easily accessed island filled with color, community, and culture.

The Azuero Peninsula: Western Azuero, Panama
Get Started, Panama, Panama Special Reports, Retirement & LifestyleThe Azuero Peninsula: Western Azuero, Panama
This Azuero issue covers the peninsula’s more-rugged corner, the western side. Western Azuero is known for farming, fishing, surfing, and beaches… and let’s not forget about the stunningly beautiful sunsets.
Its undeveloped, western-facing beaches provide unobstructed views of the Pacific Ocean…
The western side of Azuero was previously only known to cattle ranchers and wealthy farmers… Then surfers came. They managed to keep the great waves a secret, but word eventually got out. Now, international surfing championships are held here.
In this area you’re surrounded by nature, pure and raw… Capuchin and howler monkeys call from the trees, sea turtles lay their eggs along the beaches, and, in season, dolphins and whales swim and play offshore.
Azuero could be right for you. You’ll have to check it out in person to know for sure…
