"You can still find apartments in sought-after
areas of Panama City for $80,000
and live well on $1,200 per month!"
Dear International Living Reader,
Let's set the record straight.
Last year, we heard rumblings that Panama had gotten more expensive... that it was no longer a real bargain.
The Panama that had been our favorite for years deserved a broader approach, so we took a fresh look... a deeper look...
Panama has long been the prime choice for retirees, second-home buyers, and property investors alike. Readers have retired in style, enjoyed terrific vacation homes, and made money. The country deserved the #1 spot on our Global Retirement Index for six straight years—it's been a winner from the start.
But once we decided to dig deeper... to broaden the appeal of this successful destination... our work paid off.
Yes, we're still well-connected to the premium property market that has made Panama a mainstay with property buyers and investors from around the world. The Panama that offers the luxury of Miami at a fraction of the price is still there... and it's still growing.
But there's more...
We tapped into the local market and found investment and lifestyle properties that are so affordable, many people thought they were gone. Properties marketed to the local buyer rather than the foreign buyer, including:
Apartments in Panama City for $80,000... and less
Prime mountain lots just minutes from the best Pacific beaches for $70,000
Good rental apartments starting at $350 per month
Beachfront lots on the shimmering Pacific at $125,000 for almost an acre... with small beachfront parcels starting at an amazing $38,000!
A rolling green 10 acre farm in the hills of Chiriquí for just $30,000.
Expensive? No... it's a bargain.
It's the hidden, affordable Panama. A place where you can still live on $1,200 per month.
What's more, Panama still offers 20-year property tax exemptions and the renowned Pensioners' Visa, one of the best—and easiest to obtain—retirement programs in the world.
And there's more... take a look why people are choosing Panama today:
It's close to the US; less than three hours from Miami on an inexpensive flight
Panama boasts high quality health care at a fraction of what you'd pay at home
The government offers the world's best retiree discount and benefit program
Panama uses the US dollar, protecting its residents from the dollar's decline
Panama is geographically diverse, with mountains, beaches, the region's largest percentage of unspoiled rain forest, and good city living. The property market is liquid, and has provided good rental and capital returns
The people are lovely, friendly and welcoming... arguably the #1 reason for settling here
And the best part? You can relax... knowing that your retirement is comfortable and secure, and that your money will stretch further than it could in other places.
Today, there is more happening in Panama than I could possibly share with you in a letter like this. That's why I'm inviting you to join me in Panama this summer.
Live and Invest in Panama Seminar
Kobbe Beach, Panama
August 6-8, 2009
Discover the hidden, affordable Panama
Hosted by IL Publisher Dan Prescher
and Panama Insider editor Jessica Ramesch
When you join us, you'll discover everything you need to know about Panama to help you decide if it's your ideal haven...
And when you leave, you'll have all the knowledge and contacts necessary to make your move happen with confidence.
You'll see a broad view of an affordable
Panama that few outsiders know about
Protect yourself from the dollar's decline
Panama is one of few countries that uses the US dollar as its legal currency. When you live or invest in Panama, your expenses will never be hit by the dollar's fall... which has caused cost-of-living increases of up to 90% for expats in some countries with other currencies.
Find the security that comes with knowing exactly how you can "live like a local"—comfortably—on a budget of $1,200 per month. Monthly rent or mortgage included!
Discover the five top neighborhoods where you can save thousands—tens of thousands—by buying properties on the local market.
See examples and photos of comfortable apartments you can rent for less than $500 per month. Some as low as $350 per month!
Learn the true value of the luxury properties still available at a fraction of the price of Miami.
Cash in on the experience of the real estate experts who led the way to properties that provided excellent investment returns for their owners.
Explore Panama 's lush interior, with cool breezes and long mountain views. You'll be the first to learn of our latest discoveries, including a region where we found prime land going for just $32,000 for a 2 1/2 acre parcel!
Gain the upper hand by knowing the coastal real estate market... from the beautiful beach resorts to little-known hideaways where you can still get a pristine island lot for an amazing $39,000.
Be prepared and confident, with all the practical matters at your fingertips. From residency to taxes, from banking to real estate, you'll leave the conference ready to take action.
And perhaps most importantly, you'll benefit from the experience of those who have gone before you. At this conference you'll hear from many seasoned Panama expats who'll share valuable tips, anecdotes, and advice.
You'll come away with more focused, on-target information than we've ever pulled together for a single Panama event.
And it's a broader, deeper coverage that unmasks more of the real estate market than has ever been seen before.
Discover a relaxed, rewarding lifestyle by exploring
a side of Panama that is just coming to light
Imagine yourself sitting in a sidewalk café, settling down to read the morning paper, in English. The premium Panamanian coffee is fragrant and hot, and the fresh-made empanadas are barely cool enough to eat. The smell of baking bread and coffee wafts over the neighborhood.
True, at $2.00 per pound, you could have made the coffee at home for pennies. But this way, you can enjoy watching the locals bustle by as you soak in the sunshine and enjoy the summer breeze.
After just one more steaming cup, stroll to the nearest bookstore and study the titles available in English or buy tickets to a show at the national theater for only $5. Maybe later you can take in the matinee at the movies for less than $3.00.
Not ready to buy? Rent!
Panama City offers a multitude of choices for people in the market for a good rental.
If you plan to spend $600 per month in rent, you'll have lots of options for quality living...probably with a bit left over!
The modern supermarket is full of juicy tropical fruits and fresh vegetables, at "locally grown" prices. But it also has the niceties that you've grown accustomed to over the years... fancy cheeses, tapenades, or cuts of meat.
Feel like eating out? A healthy, three-course executive lunch is available just about anywhere for under $4.00.
Maybe this Friday, a weekend retreat is in order... perhaps to El Valle, to enjoy the cool mountain breezes. The ride out there (on an air-conditioned bus) will set you back only $4.00, while a spotless room in the centro is just $15 for the night. Take in the flowers, plants, and handicrafts at one of Panama 's biggest open-air markets, walk the trails at Cerro El Gaital nature preserve, or cool off under the 120-foot waterfall known as Chorro El Macho.
Prefer the beach? From Panama City you can pack a picnic and take the $10 (round-trip) ferry ride to Taboga Island for the day. Known as the "island of flowers," Taboga features hiking trails and a wildlife refuge, plus a homey little village and picturesque beach.
The choice is yours... as it is every day.
And the best part of all this is that you're spending only $1,200 a month. A budget that would barely let you leave your former home up north to venture out into the sleet.
All because you've found the hidden Panama... a life that few foreigners have discovered.
At the Live and Invest in Panama seminar this August, we'll show you how to live this lifestyle on $1,200 per month—including rent!
With Panama 's world-famous pensionado program, get set to live well for even less
If you come to Panama on a pensioner's visa, you'll get the following benefits that make it even easier to live the good life on a budget.
50% off entertainment anywhere in the country, including sporting events
30% off bus, boat, and train fares
25% off airline tickets
50% off hotel stays (30% on weekends)
15% off hospital bills
10% off prescription medicines
20% off doctor visits
15% off dental and eye exams
20% off professional services
50% closing costs for home loans
25% off your electricity bill...
And that's not all.
You're also entitled to import your household effects duty-free, as well as an exemption of duties for the importation or local purchase of a car—every two years!
This pensioner's program is without a doubt the best deal out there for those who want to live well for less.
Imagine the confidence you'll have going forward as our Panama team lays the groundwork for your adventure abroad:
Discover the reality of your new lifestyle as we present an actual budget that itemizes each cost.
Explore the neighborhoods and regions with our local insiders, who will show you plenty of real estate examples along the way.
Find out where to shop to get the best prices and which modern stores offer the best selection.
Experience the getaways the local expats enjoy around the country without breaking the budget.
Get ready to get out on the town and have a good time, as we show you what there is to do for just a few dollars... or even free!
This information would take years to collect without the local, inside contacts we've pulled together for this seminar.
Cool breezes and long mountain views can be yours in Panama's lush highlands
There's more to Panama than good city living.
Not far from Panama City, you'll discover luxuriant green mountains, vast stretches of rolling farmland and the small towns that form Panama 's heartland.
Here you'll see few tourists. Instead you'll discover rushing streams, expansive views, and pure mountain air... a fresh climate, all year long.
Enjoy long walks in the forest, quietly watching the thousands of species of plants, birds, and wildlife. Take pleasure in the tumble of a wild river, the peace of a quiet glade, or the thrill of coming across a waterfall in the forest.
Maybe you'll spend the afternoon swapping tales with fellow expats in Boquete... a town that AARP has recognized as one of the world's top retirement havens. Or perhaps you'll follow our lead and look to the less-developed areas we've discovered, with quiet village streets, local shops, and lower property prices.
Want to be closer to Panama City ? We've discovered little-known developments at high elevations just a short drive from the city and the best Pacific beaches. With extremely inexpensive property, a spring-like climate, and unspoiled natural setting, these areas are sure to grow in popularity.
If you'd like to get away from it all, we've discovered incredible deals in the rolling hills of Panama 's interior...
Live in real style
True, we can show you how to "live like a local" for only $1,200 per month.
But we've also got a "luxury" budget prepared showing how you can live like a king for only $2,250.
If you are seeking a rural country property—one that's not part of an organized community or even necessarily in a town—Panama 's interior has a lot to offer. In fact, in the Chiriquí province we just found a small 10-acre ranch on offer for only $30,000... and a 30-acre ranch for only $80,000... and 15 acres for just $40,000. Deals that most realtors don't even know about.
Panama is the place for good country living. But you won't have to give up the comfort of the solid Panamanian infrastructure, stable government, or strong, dollarized economy.
The Panama countryside offers the expat some solid choices when it comes to lifestyle and cost of living. You decide just how connected or removed you want to be from the rest of the world, and know that you'll live for a fraction of the cost that you would back home.
But whether you choose a condo in an upscale planned community, a home in town, or a ranch in the country, you can rest assured that good medical care, fellow expats, and all of your material needs are not far away.
It's one of the many advantages of living in a tiny country that offers big value.
Come to the Live and Invest in Panama seminar to get a clear and concise picture of life in the interior, and what it costs to settle there:
Explore the exciting regions and the latest hot spots where today's bargains are hitting the market.
Discover properties in every price range, representing every lifestyle, from tasteful communities, to small country estates, to expansive ranches available for pennies on the dollar.
Most importantly, meet the people who live there now. Learn what it's like first hand.
You'd spend most of your precious time and money to see this side of Panama on your own.
At the Live and Invest in Panama seminar, we'll bring the experts from all of Panama 's regions to you... in one place... at the same time... for three days!
Panama's dazzling coastline has emerging opportunities that you'll be among the first to see
For many expats, the best part of Panama is its beaches. The country boasts more than 1000 miles of Pacific and Caribbean coastline, and some of the world's most dazzling white sand beaches. The weather is always warm and balmy. So no matter what time of year you choose to come, you can enjoy the sand, surf, and the great outdoors.
Panama 's coast offers a wide variety of alternatives. Just choose your favorite—luxury condos, scenic beach communities, or a casita in a tiny beach town, where the neighbors are friendly locals and foreigners are few.
Treat yourself to a luxury, all-inclusive lifestyle right in your own backyard
Perhaps you want to pamper yourself in a resort community, with spa treatments, an on-site gym, a sparkling infinity pool, and aerobics... all at your fingertips. Some communities also offer shopping, planned activities, and nightly entertainment—including shows and dancing. Here you'll enjoy an active beachside lifestyle—day and night—without having to leave the property or own a car.
"The thought of moving was very scary. But since the conference I am excited about the possibility of living abroad."
"The people we met and heard were very knowledgeable and make the ‘trust issue' go away."
"It is possible."
Anne Marie Lee
Is golf more your style? An ever-increasing number of seaside communities offer rolling green golf courses as well as white sand beaches... the best of both worlds.
And this luxury lifestyle will cost you a fraction of what you'd pay in the rest of the world, while bringing high-return rental opportunities.
Relax in a beachfront setting that gives you more land and keeps you close to nature
Maybe you'd prefer to be closer to nature... a larger property with trees, wildlife and a bit of space around you. A community with a clubhouse... maybe a stable.
Coastal Panama offers beach communities that are reminiscent of a nature preserve, with expansive lots and small crescent beaches at the forest's edge. Here you can enjoy hiking, fishing, and nature-watching, while treasuring the peace and tranquility.
Best of all, some of these projects sell for one-tenth the price (per square meter) of the denser projects closer to Panama City.
In every crowd, there are a handful of people who just like to "go it alone"
To adventurers like you, amenities are less important than the magic of immersion in a new culture. You want to blend into the local community and become a part of Panama.
Imagine waking to the sound of the crashing waves. Then taking a moment to enjoy a fresh-squeezed tropical fruit juice and a cup of rich coffee before heading to the local market. Along the way, you'll stop to chat with friends and catch up on the latest news around town.
This afternoon, it's off to the beach. Sure, there are no seaside amenities: just the beach umbrella over your shoulder and the cooler you're carrying. After all, peace and quiet is why you're here... you want no sounds that didn't come from nature.
Almost 100 feet of fine-sand beachfront
for only $125,000.
And the best part of this new life is what it cost to make it happen. We've found small properties on the beach for as little as $38,000, in locations where you could live on $1,200 per month... or less.
At the Live and Invest in Panama seminar, we'll show you the three faces of the Panamanian coast
The all-inclusive life of luxury... stately, country-coastal living... and how to buy and live like a local.
When you join us at the Live and Invest in Panama seminar, you will:
Explore the latest breaking property markets
Analyze the current trends; not only among expats but among locals as well
Learn of real properties that are on the market today
Meet with Panama 's top coastal developers
There's no better way to begin your exploration of coastal Panama than from the comfort and convenience of the Live and Invest in Panama seminar.
The next boom has begun... with yet another opportunity
to invest in the expanding property market
The boom continues. The expansion of the Panama Canal—a $5 billion-plus project that's just begun—is one of several mega-projects expected to fuel the economy and the property market over the next years.
Luxury condos at Villa del Mar project, by Empresas Bern
This is a market that has performed extremely well for property investors over the last six years... but today's opportunities are not where they were six years ago... or even two years ago. The marketplace has moved on—evolved.
At Live and Invest in Panama, the experts who led the way through Panama 's incredible boom will be here to show you the latest trends in the hottest, upcoming areas.
Don't get me wrong—these market specialists are not coming to give investment advice, and they don't intend to make promises about performance.
Better yet, they will give you the benefit of their know-how and experience... the same expertise that led the way through this incredible market.
At Live and Invest in Panama, you'll have plenty of time to talk one-on-one with the market experts, scouts, and developers.
And what's even better, you'll also have the chance to sign on to various optional real estate tours so you can see the marketplace first-hand... tours geared to your specific areas of interest. Our e xclusive real estate advertiser, Pathfinder, Ltd., will work with their local contacts to make these tours available.
There's no better place than Panama right now for owning a rental property, and we'll show you the way
The economy is powerful in Panama, and people are coming from all over the world to share in the economic opportunity. Unfortunately, the hotel industry hasn't kept up. There's a critical shortage of hotel rooms in Panama City today.
But this shortage has created a terrific opportunity for property owners and investors to cash in on what's now the region's hottest rental market. Occupancy is at an all-time high, and rental returns are enviable.
At Live and Invest in Panama, you'll learn where to buy, what to buy, and what kind of returns to expect when managing a rental property in Panama.
If you want to get in on one of the world's premier property markets—one that has been good to investors for years—then there's no better opportunity to gain access to so much expertise... in one place, at the same time.
Whether you're retiring or buying a second home...
investing or starting that new life you've always dreamed of...
this seminar will deliver exactly what you need
People are coming to Panama for various reasons. But believe me: we've got all the bases covered.
See first-hand how little it really costs to live in Panama. Not via some theoretical budget, but by meeting the people who are already doing it.
Know the markets, by learning all about the latest hot spots on the Panama real estate scene. Not from some agent's listing, but by hearing from the IL contacts who have traveled to see these areas first-hand.
Get in early on the newest emerging markets. Not by listening to salespeople, but by taking advantage of our market analysts' extensive experience.
Learn what it takes to start up a business. Not from a book, but from expats like you who have come down and done it themselves... and done it well.

To discover the real hidden Panama, you need to hear from people like yourself—those who have gone before you
At this Live and Invest in Panama, we've invited an unprecedented number of expats who have bought second homes, retired, or started up a business in Panama. Men and women who just a short time ago, were in the same position that you are today.
"I attended the Live and Prosper in Panama Seminar last year. As a direct result of that experience my wife and I have decided to live and work in Panama. We have bought property near Boquete; we are in the process of securing our pensionado visas; and we will soon be launching a new business."
Dudley Connell
You'll meet people like:

You'll enjoy meeting this dynamic couple and you'll benefit greatly from sharing their experience renovating a home in Panama.
Jennifer King had an idea and a good dose of entrepreneurial spirit. She combined those with the plentiful opportunities in Panama and came up with a pet-friendly Bed and Breakfast that drew people from all parts, all year long. Today, she's managing pet-friendly apartment rentals.
If you want to know what it takes to start up and run a successful business, you don't want to miss meeting Jennifer.

We've got a full schedule planned for you, and yes... we're mixing business with pleasure.

Why Panama? Here's what expats are telling us as they make the move:
Panama is known around the world as a top banking and financial haven
You'll pay no tax on income from outside Panama
It's the Hub of the Americas, with convenient flights not only to the US, but to many points around the world
Panama is hurricane-free! And is free from most other natural disasters as well
The cost of living is low, but the quality of life is high
Properties are inexpensive, but with high construction standards
The 20-year property tax exemption is now offering big savings for residential properties
Property investors have profited from one of the world's best property markets
Panama offers a solid infrastructure including many of the services—even franchises—that you're used to
And the list goes on and on...
This conference is a first-of-a-kind opportunity. This depth, breadth, and diversity of lifestyles hasn't been seen until now
You'll see all sides of Panama. From the luxury waterfront lifestyle, to a comfortable and enjoyable way of life that you can manage on a social security check. From the lush green mountains, to the dazzling beaches, to a city life that's hard to beat anywhere.
Even if you've been to a previous conference in Panama, you'll find that this one will bring you up to speed on affordable lifestyles that you didn't know about before.
"First-Class! You covered all the fundamental bases of reinventing one's self, financial freedom, where to enjoy life, etc. The presenters were excellent and professional. This seminar is for anyone who wants to bring some jazz into their life."
Jim Thomas, Portland, OR
Think about it. If you had to gather this information on your own, you'd spend thousands of dollars, and months of your time to do it. After knocking on doors, searching the internet, sitting in lawyers' offices, and hanging out with real estate agents, it would still be impossible to assemble the body of knowledge that we've pulled together for this conference.
Frankly, Live and Invest in Panama is a good investment of time and money for anyone who's considering Panama ... well worth every penny you'll pay to attend.
But before you consider signing up, here's one more important thing to consider...
The moment you sign up for the Live and Invest in Panama seminar, we'll electronically send you one of the most valuable publications about Panama we've ever developed.
I commissioned a special report—Property and Lifestyle Secrets of the Hidden Panama—specifically to deliver actionable details and real examples from the Panama property market and life in Panama... examples that support the varied lifestyle alternatives and budgets that this conference is presenting for the first time. It's up to date, and it concisely delivers no-nonsense information.
Why is this so important?
"The program's content allowed me to realize that I can live and prosper in Panama; especially due to all the successful stories of the expats and the IL staffers...and the government incentives. "
Dr. Pamela Dendtler Brooklyn, NY
Because before even getting on the plane for Panama, you'll have studied each of the geographic areas... along with property examples and budgets for different lifestyles.
Once you get to the conference, you'll know exactly where to focus your energies in order to make the most of it... you'll know which regions interest you, and what they cost.
What's more, you'll have a pretty good idea of what you'd like to explore after the conference, when the optional real estate tours are available.
Best of all, Property and Lifestyle Secrets of the Hidden Panama will be rushed to you immediately when you sign up for the conference. That way, you can make the most of it before you head to Panama.
This valuable report is only available to Live and Invest in Panama seminar attendees. It will not be offered for sale.
This unique, value-packed conference
is only available for a limited time at these prices
The full price for this event is $1,195 (your guest pays only $795). An incredible bargain for three days of information-packed meetings, and access to well-informed and experienced contacts that are ready to share their firsthand experience.

Let's Set the Record Straight about Panama
Panama Too Expensive?
Complete Bull!
"You can still find apartments in sought-after
areas of Panama City for $80,000
and live well on $1,200 per month!"
Dear International Living Reader,
Let's set the record straight.
Last year, we heard rumblings that Panama had gotten more expensive... that it was no longer a real bargain.
The Panama that had been our favorite for years deserved a broader approach, so we took a fresh look... a deeper look...
Panama has long been the prime choice for retirees, second-home buyers, and property investors alike. Readers have retired in style, enjoyed terrific vacation homes, and made money. The country deserved the #1 spot on our Global Retirement Index for six straight years—it's been a winner from the start.
But once we decided to dig deeper... to broaden the appeal of this successful destination... our work paid off.
Yes, we're still well-connected to the premium property market that has made Panama a mainstay with property buyers and investors from around the world. The Panama that offers the luxury of Miami at a fraction of the price is still there... and it's still growing.
But there's more...
We tapped into the local market and found investment and lifestyle properties that are so affordable, many people thought they were gone. Properties marketed to the local buyer rather than the foreign buyer, including:
Expensive? No... it's a bargain.
It's the hidden, affordable Panama. A place where you can still live on $1,200 per month.
What's more, Panama still offers 20-year property tax exemptions and the renowned Pensioners' Visa, one of the best—and easiest to obtain—retirement programs in the world.
And there's more... take a look why people are choosing Panama today:
And the best part? You can relax... knowing that your retirement is comfortable and secure, and that your money will stretch further than it could in other places.
Today, there is more happening in Panama than I could possibly share with you in a letter like this. That's why I'm inviting you to join me in Panama this summer.
Live and Invest in Panama Seminar
Kobbe Beach, Panama
August 6-8, 2009
Discover the hidden, affordable Panama
Hosted by IL Publisher Dan Prescher
and Panama Insider editor Jessica Ramesch
When you join us, you'll discover everything you need to know about Panama to help you decide if it's your ideal haven...
And when you leave, you'll have all the knowledge and contacts necessary to make your move happen with confidence.
You'll see a broad view of an affordable
Panama that few outsiders know about
Protect yourself from the dollar's decline
Panama is one of few countries that uses the US dollar as its legal currency. When you live or invest in Panama, your expenses will never be hit by the dollar's fall... which has caused cost-of-living increases of up to 90% for expats in some countries with other currencies.
You'll come away with more focused, on-target information than we've ever pulled together for a single Panama event.
And it's a broader, deeper coverage that unmasks more of the real estate market than has ever been seen before.
Discover a relaxed, rewarding lifestyle by exploring
a side of Panama that is just coming to light
Imagine yourself sitting in a sidewalk café, settling down to read the morning paper, in English. The premium Panamanian coffee is fragrant and hot, and the fresh-made empanadas are barely cool enough to eat. The smell of baking bread and coffee wafts over the neighborhood.
True, at $2.00 per pound, you could have made the coffee at home for pennies. But this way, you can enjoy watching the locals bustle by as you soak in the sunshine and enjoy the summer breeze.
After just one more steaming cup, stroll to the nearest bookstore and study the titles available in English or buy tickets to a show at the national theater for only $5. Maybe later you can take in the matinee at the movies for less than $3.00.
Not ready to buy? Rent!
Panama City offers a multitude of choices for people in the market for a good rental.
If you plan to spend $600 per month in rent, you'll have lots of options for quality living...probably with a bit left over!
The modern supermarket is full of juicy tropical fruits and fresh vegetables, at "locally grown" prices. But it also has the niceties that you've grown accustomed to over the years... fancy cheeses, tapenades, or cuts of meat.
Feel like eating out? A healthy, three-course executive lunch is available just about anywhere for under $4.00.
Maybe this Friday, a weekend retreat is in order... perhaps to El Valle, to enjoy the cool mountain breezes. The ride out there (on an air-conditioned bus) will set you back only $4.00, while a spotless room in the centro is just $15 for the night. Take in the flowers, plants, and handicrafts at one of Panama 's biggest open-air markets, walk the trails at Cerro El Gaital nature preserve, or cool off under the 120-foot waterfall known as Chorro El Macho.
Prefer the beach? From Panama City you can pack a picnic and take the $10 (round-trip) ferry ride to Taboga Island for the day. Known as the "island of flowers," Taboga features hiking trails and a wildlife refuge, plus a homey little village and picturesque beach.
The choice is yours... as it is every day.
And the best part of all this is that you're spending only $1,200 a month. A budget that would barely let you leave your former home up north to venture out into the sleet.
All because you've found the hidden Panama... a life that few foreigners have discovered.
At the Live and Invest in Panama seminar this August, we'll show you how to live this lifestyle on $1,200 per month—including rent!
With Panama 's world-famous pensionado program, get set to live well for even less
If you come to Panama on a pensioner's visa, you'll get the following benefits that make it even easier to live the good life on a budget.
And that's not all.
You're also entitled to import your household effects duty-free, as well as an exemption of duties for the importation or local purchase of a car—every two years!
This pensioner's program is without a doubt the best deal out there for those who want to live well for less.
Imagine the confidence you'll have going forward as our Panama team lays the groundwork for your adventure abroad:
This information would take years to collect without the local, inside contacts we've pulled together for this seminar.
Cool breezes and long mountain views can be yours in Panama's lush highlands
There's more to Panama than good city living.
Not far from Panama City, you'll discover luxuriant green mountains, vast stretches of rolling farmland and the small towns that form Panama 's heartland.
Here you'll see few tourists. Instead you'll discover rushing streams, expansive views, and pure mountain air... a fresh climate, all year long.
Enjoy long walks in the forest, quietly watching the thousands of species of plants, birds, and wildlife. Take pleasure in the tumble of a wild river, the peace of a quiet glade, or the thrill of coming across a waterfall in the forest.
Maybe you'll spend the afternoon swapping tales with fellow expats in Boquete... a town that AARP has recognized as one of the world's top retirement havens. Or perhaps you'll follow our lead and look to the less-developed areas we've discovered, with quiet village streets, local shops, and lower property prices.
Want to be closer to Panama City ? We've discovered little-known developments at high elevations just a short drive from the city and the best Pacific beaches. With extremely inexpensive property, a spring-like climate, and unspoiled natural setting, these areas are sure to grow in popularity.
If you'd like to get away from it all, we've discovered incredible deals in the rolling hills of Panama 's interior...
Live in real style
True, we can show you how to "live like a local" for only $1,200 per month.
But we've also got a "luxury" budget prepared showing how you can live like a king for only $2,250.
If you are seeking a rural country property—one that's not part of an organized community or even necessarily in a town—Panama 's interior has a lot to offer. In fact, in the Chiriquí province we just found a small 10-acre ranch on offer for only $30,000... and a 30-acre ranch for only $80,000... and 15 acres for just $40,000. Deals that most realtors don't even know about.
Panama is the place for good country living. But you won't have to give up the comfort of the solid Panamanian infrastructure, stable government, or strong, dollarized economy.
The Panama countryside offers the expat some solid choices when it comes to lifestyle and cost of living. You decide just how connected or removed you want to be from the rest of the world, and know that you'll live for a fraction of the cost that you would back home.
But whether you choose a condo in an upscale planned community, a home in town, or a ranch in the country, you can rest assured that good medical care, fellow expats, and all of your material needs are not far away.
It's one of the many advantages of living in a tiny country that offers big value.Come to the Live and Invest in Panama seminar to get a clear and concise picture of life in the interior, and what it costs to settle there:
You'd spend most of your precious time and money to see this side of Panama on your own.
At the Live and Invest in Panama seminar, we'll bring the experts from all of Panama 's regions to you... in one place... at the same time... for three days!
Panama's dazzling coastline has emerging opportunities that you'll be among the first to see
For many expats, the best part of Panama is its beaches. The country boasts more than 1000 miles of Pacific and Caribbean coastline, and some of the world's most dazzling white sand beaches. The weather is always warm and balmy. So no matter what time of year you choose to come, you can enjoy the sand, surf, and the great outdoors.
Panama 's coast offers a wide variety of alternatives. Just choose your favorite—luxury condos, scenic beach communities, or a casita in a tiny beach town, where the neighbors are friendly locals and foreigners are few.
Treat yourself to a luxury, all-inclusive lifestyle right in your own backyard
Perhaps you want to pamper yourself in a resort community, with spa treatments, an on-site gym, a sparkling infinity pool, and aerobics... all at your fingertips. Some communities also offer shopping, planned activities, and nightly entertainment—including shows and dancing. Here you'll enjoy an active beachside lifestyle—day and night—without having to leave the property or own a car.
"The thought of moving was very scary. But since the conference I am excited about the possibility of living abroad."
"The people we met and heard were very knowledgeable and make the ‘trust issue' go away."
"It is possible."
Anne Marie LeeIs golf more your style? An ever-increasing number of seaside communities offer rolling green golf courses as well as white sand beaches... the best of both worlds.
And this luxury lifestyle will cost you a fraction of what you'd pay in the rest of the world, while bringing high-return rental opportunities.
Relax in a beachfront setting that gives you more land and keeps you close to nature
Maybe you'd prefer to be closer to nature... a larger property with trees, wildlife and a bit of space around you. A community with a clubhouse... maybe a stable.
Coastal Panama offers beach communities that are reminiscent of a nature preserve, with expansive lots and small crescent beaches at the forest's edge. Here you can enjoy hiking, fishing, and nature-watching, while treasuring the peace and tranquility.
Best of all, some of these projects sell for one-tenth the price (per square meter) of the denser projects closer to Panama City.
In every crowd, there are a handful of people who just like to "go it alone"
To adventurers like you, amenities are less important than the magic of immersion in a new culture. You want to blend into the local community and become a part of Panama.
Imagine waking to the sound of the crashing waves. Then taking a moment to enjoy a fresh-squeezed tropical fruit juice and a cup of rich coffee before heading to the local market. Along the way, you'll stop to chat with friends and catch up on the latest news around town.
This afternoon, it's off to the beach. Sure, there are no seaside amenities: just the beach umbrella over your shoulder and the cooler you're carrying. After all, peace and quiet is why you're here... you want no sounds that didn't come from nature.
for only $125,000.
And the best part of this new life is what it cost to make it happen. We've found small properties on the beach for as little as $38,000, in locations where you could live on $1,200 per month... or less.
At the Live and Invest in Panama seminar, we'll show you the three faces of the Panamanian coast
The all-inclusive life of luxury... stately, country-coastal living... and how to buy and live like a local.
When you join us at the Live and Invest in Panama seminar, you will:
There's no better way to begin your exploration of coastal Panama than from the comfort and convenience of the Live and Invest in Panama seminar.
The next boom has begun... with yet another opportunity
to invest in the expanding property market
The boom continues. The expansion of the Panama Canal—a $5 billion-plus project that's just begun—is one of several mega-projects expected to fuel the economy and the property market over the next years.
This is a market that has performed extremely well for property investors over the last six years... but today's opportunities are not where they were six years ago... or even two years ago. The marketplace has moved on—evolved.
At Live and Invest in Panama, the experts who led the way through Panama 's incredible boom will be here to show you the latest trends in the hottest, upcoming areas.
Don't get me wrong—these market specialists are not coming to give investment advice, and they don't intend to make promises about performance.
Better yet, they will give you the benefit of their know-how and experience... the same expertise that led the way through this incredible market.
At Live and Invest in Panama, you'll have plenty of time to talk one-on-one with the market experts, scouts, and developers.
And what's even better, you'll also have the chance to sign on to various optional real estate tours so you can see the marketplace first-hand... tours geared to your specific areas of interest. Our e xclusive real estate advertiser, Pathfinder, Ltd., will work with their local contacts to make these tours available.
There's no better place than Panama right now for owning a rental property, and we'll show you the way
The economy is powerful in Panama, and people are coming from all over the world to share in the economic opportunity. Unfortunately, the hotel industry hasn't kept up. There's a critical shortage of hotel rooms in Panama City today.
But this shortage has created a terrific opportunity for property owners and investors to cash in on what's now the region's hottest rental market. Occupancy is at an all-time high, and rental returns are enviable.
At Live and Invest in Panama, you'll learn where to buy, what to buy, and what kind of returns to expect when managing a rental property in Panama.
If you want to get in on one of the world's premier property markets—one that has been good to investors for years—then there's no better opportunity to gain access to so much expertise... in one place, at the same time.
Whether you're retiring or buying a second home...
investing or starting that new life you've always dreamed of...
this seminar will deliver exactly what you need
People are coming to Panama for various reasons. But believe me: we've got all the bases covered.
Get the whole picture, not just the fluff. Taxes, insurance, and visas are not the fun part of being an expat. But you need to know this part of the story before you take your next step in Panama. Our trusted professionals will deliver the information you need.
More than 50 experts will be on hand to make sure the seminar is giving you what you need.
Here are just a few of the people who make up our staff for this groundbreaking seminar. Remember: they're not just presenting their topics. One of the primary seminar benefits is that they'll be available to spend time one-on-one discussing your own situation.

Ronan McMahon
Keeping far ahead of the pack when it comes to real estate markets, Ronan was the guiding force that led readers to the explosive opportunities of recent years in Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and of course, Panama. As Executive Director of Pathfinder, Ltd., Ronan will give his analysis of the real estate market situation in Panama, identifying the current hot spots... and the future opportunities.

"...for those who prefer to discover how to ‘conquer' Panama on their own, I only hope they get as thorough and honest advice and counsel as we did in the conference. ...having the opportunity for one-on-one conversations with the presenters was well worth my time and investment in attending."
Katharine Cotrell, Portland, OR
Rainelda Mata-Kelly, legal counsel
When it comes to residency, tax law, corporations, trusts, banking, and real estate, there is no better authority in Panama.
Rainelda will bring you up to speed with the practical information you need to know if you're planning to retire, buy a property, or start up business. And if you're setting up offshore accounts, corporations, or trusts, hearing what Rainelda has to say is indispensable.

Our seasoned professional experts will deliver the on-target information you need to get the real picture about living, buying or starting up a business in Panama.
Note: Due to unforeseen circumstances, it's possible the speakers may change. Other experts, however, will take their place covering the same topic.
To discover the real hidden Panama, you need to hear from people like yourself—those who have gone before you
At this Live and Invest in Panama, we've invited an unprecedented number of expats who have bought second homes, retired, or started up a business in Panama. Men and women who just a short time ago, were in the same position that you are today.
"I attended the Live and Prosper in Panama Seminar last year. As a direct result of that experience my wife and I have decided to live and work in Panama. We have bought property near Boquete; we are in the process of securing our pensionado visas; and we will soon be launching a new business."
Dudley Connell
You'll meet people like:
Jon Nickel, always a popular speaker, and a model of the successful expat and early retiree. Jon and his wife Gretchen moved to Panama City and remodeled their stunning waterfront apartment. You'll enjoy meeting this dynamic couple and you'll benefit greatly from sharing their experience renovating a home in Panama.
Jennifer King had an idea and a good dose of entrepreneurial spirit. She combined those with the plentiful opportunities in Panama and came up with a pet-friendly Bed and Breakfast that drew people from all parts, all year long. Today, she's managing pet-friendly apartment rentals.
If you want to know what it takes to start up and run a successful business, you don't want to miss meeting Jennifer.
Albert Fine has been a retiree in Panama for the past six years. His time there has allowed him the opportunity to pursue his hobbies. He'll share his experiences with you and give you the low down on what it's really like to retire in paradise...
And these successful expats are just the start. This conference will give center stage to more expat speakers than ever before. This firsthand information is worth its weight in gold.
As Publisher of International Living, I'll be hosting the conference with Jessica Ramesch. My wife Suzan Haskins and I are four-country expats ourselves, and we both look forward to sharing our own significant experience about beginning a new life abroad.
We've got a full schedule planned for you, and yes... we're mixing business with pleasure.

Why Panama? Here's what expats are telling us as they make the move:
And the list goes on and on...
This conference is a first-of-a-kind opportunity. This depth, breadth, and diversity of lifestyles hasn't been seen until now
You'll see all sides of Panama. From the luxury waterfront lifestyle, to a comfortable and enjoyable way of life that you can manage on a social security check. From the lush green mountains, to the dazzling beaches, to a city life that's hard to beat anywhere.
Even if you've been to a previous conference in Panama, you'll find that this one will bring you up to speed on affordable lifestyles that you didn't know about before.
"First-Class! You covered all the fundamental bases of reinventing one's self, financial freedom, where to enjoy life, etc. The presenters were excellent and professional. This seminar is for anyone who wants to bring some jazz into their life."
Jim Thomas, Portland, OR
Think about it. If you had to gather this information on your own, you'd spend thousands of dollars, and months of your time to do it. After knocking on doors, searching the internet, sitting in lawyers' offices, and hanging out with real estate agents, it would still be impossible to assemble the body of knowledge that we've pulled together for this conference.
Frankly, Live and Invest in Panama is a good investment of time and money for anyone who's considering Panama ... well worth every penny you'll pay to attend.
But before you consider signing up, here's one more important thing to consider...
The moment you sign up for the Live and Invest in Panama seminar, we'll electronically send you one of the most valuable publications about Panama we've ever developed.
I commissioned a special report—Property and Lifestyle Secrets of the Hidden Panama—specifically to deliver actionable details and real examples from the Panama property market and life in Panama... examples that support the varied lifestyle alternatives and budgets that this conference is presenting for the first time. It's up to date, and it concisely delivers no-nonsense information.
Why is this so important?
"The program's content allowed me to realize that I can live and prosper in Panama; especially due to all the successful stories of the expats and the IL staffers...and the government incentives. "
Dr. Pamela Dendtler Brooklyn, NY
Because before even getting on the plane for Panama, you'll have studied each of the geographic areas... along with property examples and budgets for different lifestyles.
Once you get to the conference, you'll know exactly where to focus your energies in order to make the most of it... you'll know which regions interest you, and what they cost.
What's more, you'll have a pretty good idea of what you'd like to explore after the conference, when the optional real estate tours are available.
Best of all, Property and Lifestyle Secrets of the Hidden Panama will be rushed to you immediately when you sign up for the conference. That way, you can make the most of it before you head to Panama.
This valuable report is only available to Live and Invest in Panama seminar attendees. It will not be offered for sale.
This unique, value-packed conference
is only available for a limited time at these prices
The full price for this event is $1,195 (your guest pays only $795). An incredible bargain for three days of information-packed meetings, and access to well-informed and experienced contacts that are ready to share their firsthand experience.
And what's better, you're probably eligible for a discount!
Don't forget, Pathfinder International will work with their local contacts in Panama to offer a number of optional property tours. So you'll not only have the chance learn about the property market, but also to see it first-hand. We'll send full details before the conference.
The entry price includes:
Registration is easy, with any one of the following methods:
