I’m moving to Panama at 59, and I’ve already spent $2,444.60—and I haven’t moved yet.
In this video, I’m breaking down what I’ve actually paid so far, including my FBI background check, fingerprints, document authentication, vital records, notary fees, immigration attorney and upfront immigration costs, airfare, and my VRBO for my upcoming trip to Panama.
I’m documenting this move in real time, so these aren’t estimated “how much it might cost to move to Panama” numbers. These are my actual expenses as I go through the process.
And there’s plenty more to come.
If you’re thinking about moving abroad—or you’re simply curious about what it really takes to make a major life change at this stage of life—come along. I’m building my next chapter while I’m living it.

I will say they're going directly through a consulate, makes the process really easy. I live in Az, and my brother lives in Long beach, CA. There's a Panamanian consulate there.
I had all my documents notarized in AZ, and coordinated a visit with my brother and friends, with my appointment with the consulate. Then flew to Panama two weeks later (late May), and got my temporary visa. I flew back to Panama in early Sept for a large meet-up of black female expats and wanna be expats, and to scout different areas in PC. As I hoped, my timing was good. I received my permanent Pensionada Visa a week ago. Easy, peasy. Total attorney fees-$1700.
