International Living ranked Panama as the best place in the world to retire. Panama has ranked first in International Living’s Annual World Retirement Index seven consecutive times. Among its main attractions are its geographical position, climate, health system, and others that favor the country to become the preferred destination for retirement.
After a life working and upon reaching the retirement age, many people decide to move out of the country in search of a destination with a good climate, good housing, good medical services, good entertainment, and opportunities. Precisely that and other factors such as visa access and governance are measured in the Annual World Retirement Index.
“Panama offers the comfort of a first world country at Central American prices”, states the publication, which highlights the affordable prices in transportation, cinema, food, and more.
The report refers to the climate and natural beauty of Panama, where you can find different areas throughout the country from mountains, beaches, waterfalls and even wake up in the Caribbean and have lunch with a view of the Pacific, says International Living.
Although the retiree visa and discount plan give Panama a great advantage in attracting people ready for retirement, there are different factors that contribute to Panama’s excellent reputation.
Excellent connectivity makes it easy to travel or depart using the Tocumen International Airport, which allows up to 21 million passengers to mobilize comfortably.
