I relocated from NY to Roatan when I was single with no kids, now I am married with two children and one on the way. Similar reaction as far as family life in Roatan. As long as you have income and your children are healthy, you'll be good.
This is so cool! I didn't know there were families there that moved from Canada. This gives me a little relief. We are a family of 4 looking into checking Panama and love to hear this testimonials
a lot of families move to Panama. There are many international schools or some home school. Check out the video of the family with 6 kids living in Volcan.
Because they came on a Panama Relocation Tour ( or bought the online guide), we provide referrals for house sitting opportunities. panamarelocationtours.com/guide
This is a nice video with a nice couple however I wish you had talked about your transition experience in a everyday living granular way like getting from Panama City to Puerto Armuelles with four children when seems daunting and hard enough for one adult also where did you stay until you found a house? how long did it? just finding a house big enough seems like impossible task what about language challenges for the children and for adults or all of you getting around with out a car ? effects of climate difference on everyone.
ray matthews - Hi Ray! Don’t feel bad, I’m also from Panama but been living in USA for so long that I didn’t remember where Puerto Armuelles was, remembered the name thou! Last time I went was about four years ago and I’m ready for a vacay! Watching these vid make me so nostalgic that I want to go back and see the family and friends! Enjoy the videos! Saludos!
@@bluebutterfly0825 Hola: I came at 19 and I was sure I wanted to move over there.

I live In New York, back in the days, when the plane came into Panama's air space the first that you saw was, The miraflores locks. Now the first thing you see is. Trump Towers.

ray matthews - Sorry yo hear about the passing of your love one, it’s never easy, I know but I hope you’re accepting and believing they’re in a much better place! And yes, the Panama that we remember is not like in our time, it has changed so much, I keep saying is a mini Miami!!!! And now with the Cinta Costera, I was jus amazed and in awe yo see all those beautiful buildings! Panama has always been a welcoming country and embraces immigrants from all over (just like Trump here, eight? 🙄) but my family told me there are a lot of Venezuelans and more Colombians than even before! But for sure I was pleasantly surprised of how now you don’t see much about rich and poor and every mingling together at the malls and other places. I live in Dallas and from here, I sent you my regards and well wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2020!!!!
Ohhh from Puerto Armuelles you can easily take a trip to Costa Rica but C.R is expensive...Hope you enjoy Pma since I can't be there for now! One good thi g about Panama no fire Arms are permited. Beautiful family!
I agree, except for one thing, you can get guns. But they actually do background checks here. Are you related to Terra? I went to school with a Mia and a Terra. They were twins. Nice people.
Hi, my name is Lisa and we were on the relocation tour of Aug 2019, we have decided to move from Alberta to Panama for the same reason of you guys to spend more time with our kids 8 and 10 years old. We are in process of going already got our temporary residency and i would like to know when school start and finishes and if I need to do a apostile for kids school transcripts (on Panama consulate) we have our pet that will go with us too and for it i know we have to get all done in 10 days .. so is a bit crazy... I am looking forward to meet you guys if you feel that would be ok. Like minded people is what we are all about.
The panamanian's school start on march each year and apostille and translated document maybe the high school will require you. Greetings from David city, Panama.
Buenos Dias. La cinta costera is great most of us going back can afford to live there. But all the spaces are two bedrooms. I don't like cleaning. I went to the SOHO mall and the prices are just the same as over here, Another issue is: The medicare. The reality i that when you retire as I have, They subtract $3000.00 every from your Social Security to cover all medical expenses, whether you use it or not. If i went back to Panama They will give me that money, that I could use over there. I have got one uncle left and he lives in Houston. The rest of my family are all In Tampa. Tampa is just like: Juan Diaz. the only difference is they better roads. Enjoy your Holidays and don't spend too much. Wishing you and your family the best. Ray

You can get a gun permit and there are places to buy guns in Panama
I agree, except for one thing, you can get guns. But they actually do background checks here. Are you related to Terra? I went to school with a Mia and a Terra. They were twins. Nice people.

@@ramiroferiapuron3517 They likely got residency via the Friendly Nations Visa program.
What air port did you fly into and how did you get to your location to your home now?
400???
Yes, $400 for their rent.
Yes, welcome to Panama. And, as you can see, they're not living in a straw hut. lol
And wait till you see how much you pay in taxes if you buy!
How much does one make teaching English? Thanks for mentioning Costco. That is "plus" to know. :-)
You won''t make much teaching English in Panama. English teachers are everywhere. You'll make about $22 a hour teaching English online.
Thank you for the the quick reply and informative answer on how much one can make teaching English. Greatly appreciated. I am 74 and I am looking forward to taking the Relocation Tour some time next year.
i guess they worked for it and made the hard decisions
It was an easy decision to be able to spend more time together as a family instead of working all the time and rarely seeing their children.
sure. though still a big decision.
