Black Expat Stories: Panama City Relocation Tour

Be the first to know about our next Panama City tour!

Name

Relocating to Panama City, Panama

Panama City offers a first-world lifestyle at a fraction of U.S. prices, with most expats budgeting $1,500–3,000 a month depending on lifestyle and neighborhood. The Pensionado visa gives retirees generous discounts on healthcare and travel, while the Friendly Nations visa opens a path to residency through investment or local employment. Panama’s U.S. dollar-pegged currency and modern infrastructure make it one of the more straightforward relocations for Americans.

Panama City Cost of Living Snapshot

  • Single expat or retiree: typically $1,500–$2,500/month
  • Panama City itself runs closer to $2,000–$2,500/month given it’s the capital
  • The U.S. dollar is legal tender in Panama, which removes currency-conversion risk
  • Groceries, healthcare, and local dining are generally cheaper than in the U.S.

Visa Options for Americans

  • Friendly Nations Visa — available to U.S. citizens via qualifying investment, bank deposit, or local employment
  • Pensionado Visa — for retirees, with no minimum age requirement and discounts on healthcare and travel
  • Reforestation and Digital Nomad visa categories are also available
