Moved from Hong Kong to Retire in Panama

- People from all over the world are retiring in Panama! They are discovering the affordable and comfortable lifestyle available in Panama.
Laurie and Tony moved from Hong Kong to Panama just before Panama shut down the borders because of the Covid pandemic. They lived in El Valle for a few months until they could get to the Pearl Islands where they had a house-sitting gig lined up. A few months of living at the beach made them realize that they would prefer to live in the highlands where the weather is mild all year.
Now, they live in Volcan Panama in a furnished two-bedroom house on a 5-acre potato farm where they pay $625 rent. Tony said you can't even get a parking place for that much in Hong Kong!

Very informative. I love this couple for taking in the dogs!

With global upheaval and inflation it's good to see you made it to Panama. Best to find your sanctuary before things go south, in this case going south is good but you know what I mean. Can't wait to get to Panama, just need our ducks in order!!!

Hey friends! We love your house and look forward to seeing it again but this time also meeting all your pups. By the way, we have four now as well. Panama really does something to you dog wise, doesn’t it?
Panama seems to attract people who love fur babies!
awesome story
Glad you liked it!
I'm looking at country after country and I keep coming back to Panamá. No matter which country I'm looking at, everyone says they're in the best place for them. I just don't know. Everyplace looks good to me. 🤔
Only YOU can decide which area is best for you and your needs. I spent 18 months visiting 10 different countries to decide that Panama was best for me!
Love to meet you someday
I'm so excited to relocate next year for the States.
LOLL @ She's cheap to keep. Lovely sense of humour. I bet it's much cheaper, spacious, slower in a good way, therapeutic, etc, than Hong Kong. Enjoy your retirement.
Absolutely!
Thanks for sharing such relevant information
Glad it was helpful!
We also have 5 dogs (4 chihuahuas and a boxer mix) and are considering a move to Boquete/Volcan area in the next 3 years. I have worried that we would never find a place to rent with 5 dogs. This gives me some hope.
You people has got great humor. Welcome.
Well no foon Yang & Welcome! Make yourself at home!! qǐng bùyào jūshù!!
I'm sorry there is an ad on this video. We did NOT put it there!!! I'm trying to figure out how to get it off the video
What a nice couple and how precise and helpful their tips are, I am wondering who is the dushbag that gave them a thumb down???
I can't imagine that anyone would give a thumbs down to the video... it is unfortunate!
Nice couple !
Yes they are!
No. You are adventurous!
Hi 👋
Thanks for the vids!
Question... a US citizen, Can I come for 6 months, leave and come back after a certain amount of time, does your time start over?
You can be a tourists in Panama for 180 days. Then you need to leave for 30 days before you can come back. That's called a border hop. You can do 1 border hop per year.
Please let us know how much is the rent and utilities . Nice place I’d to visit Panama
They are paying $650 for a furnished two bedroom house. The price includes utilities
I’d be interested in why you chose Panama over Philippines
much better weather and more stable economy!
@@PanamaRelocationTours thank you!! Cost of living about the same???
I'm Canadian born Chinese (speaks English and Cantonese), and I'm researching possible places to retire early :) I'm just wondering what it's like in Panama for Asians; are there any recommended communities/areas?
There are >200,000 Chinese in Panama (5% of the population) many are 3rd or 4th generation. They live everywhere. I don't think there is a "Chinatown" anywhere in Panama, so I wouldn't base where you choose to settle based the Asian population.
@@laurielemmlie-leung7554 Actually, there is a China town in Panama. It is in Panama city , between the mariscos seafood market and Santa Ana barrio.
@@papi7672 Nice to know. How is the food?
@@laurielemmlie-leung7554 El Dorado is a big Chinese neighborhood
@@reginapolo3357 is that in Panama City?
