Should I Move to Belize, Costa Rica or Panama? Part 2 of 2

PLEASE NOTE: As of August 7, 2021 the requirements for the Friendly Nations Visa in Panama have changed. There are a few videos about these changes on the channel- please search for Friendly Nations Visa.

In Part 1 (   • Should I move to Belize, Costa Rica, ...  ), I took you through how we created a "non negotiables" list- the things that our new home country MUST have- and I gave you additional suggestions so you can start creating your own non negotiable list. Things like the ability to work, taxes, safety, residency, real estate, etc... In this video, I will go though each country- Belize, Costa Rica, and Panama- individually, and give them a "report card" to measure how that country's laws, features, and amenities stacked up to what we were looking for. If you are considering becoming an expat, I highly recommend you go through this process as well! It could save you a lot of money, time, energy, and stress!

CORRECTION: It actually takes THREE years (not two) to be able to get permanent residency in Costa Rica! Thank you to a viewer for that information.

If you're relocating to Panama, make sure you watch all of the videos in our "Moving To Panama" series! They can be found on our playlist at    • Moving To Panama
