Four Years After We Began I Officially Have My Residency in Panama.
It has been a difficult ride. We hit so many hurdles on my road to residency in Panama but it is officially completed. I went the marriage route but for those of you interested in Panama Residency I recommend going the investment route or through the friendly nations visa route.
Panama is a Wonderful Country but Not Perfect.
If you are planning to move here or anywhere in Central America I recommend you live here as a tourist first. So many people come down here and can not hack it. I am lucky because @AnaHilarski is Panamanian. If it was not for my wife I probably would have moved to Colombia a few years ago.
Good Things About Panama.

- Cost of Living

Bad Things About Panama.

- Lack of Respect for the Environment
Test the Waters Before Making a Decision.
If you are serious about moving down here then you must try it out before making a full commitment. I can't express this enough. I do not feel bad for people who move down here and end up leaving quickly because they could not adjust.
If you visit let me know so that we can meet for a coffee or a beer.
