Why Moving To Panama With Your Family Is The Best Decision You'll Make

Written by Team Veritas | March 5, 2025

Moving abroad with your family is a major life decision, but Panama stands out as one of the best countries in the world for expat families seeking a safe, stable, and opportunity-rich environment. With excellent infrastructure, family-friendly communities, world-class healthcare, and a welcoming expat culture, Panama offers everything you need for a better quality of life, financial security, and personal freedom.

For families looking to go a step further and embrace off-grid, independent living, Veritas Village will provide the ultimate self-sufficient, luxury lifestyle in one of Panama’s most desirable locations.

 

WHY PANAMA IS THE BEST DESTINATION FOR FAMILIES

A SAFE AND STABLE COUNTRY

Panama is one of the safest countries in Latin America, with a stable government, a strong economy, and low crime rates in expat-friendly areas like Coronado. Unlike other countries in the region, Panama has:

  • No standing army, reducing risks of political instability.
  • Low crime rates in well-developed communities.
  • A strong economy, minimizing financial uncertainty.

This stability ensures a safe environment for raising children and securing a long-term future for your family.

 

HIGH-QUALITY HEALTHCARE AT A FRACTION OF THE COST

Panama’s healthcare system is world-class, offering modern hospitals, English-speaking doctors, and affordable medical care. Many doctors are trained in the U.S. or Europe, and private health insurance costs a fraction of what it does in North America.

  • Private hospital visits cost as little as $50 without insurance.
  • Prescription medications are significantly cheaper.
  • State-of-the-art medical facilities available in Panama City and major expat areas.

For families with young children or elderly parents, having affordable, high-quality healthcare is a major advantage.

 

AFFORDABLE, HIGH-QUALITY EDUCATION

Panama offers excellent private and international schools that cater to expat families. Many schools follow the U.S., Canadian, British, or IB curriculum, ensuring an easy transition for your children.

  • Lower tuition costs than in North America or Europe.
  • Bilingual education (English & Spanish) prepares kids for global opportunities.
  • A growing homeschooling and alternative education community.

For those looking for a private, freedom-focused educational option, Veritas Village will feature a private school blending in-person and digital learning, giving children a customized, world-class education.

 

A LOWER COST OF LIVING & FINANCIAL FREEDOM

Raising a family is expensive, but in Panama, your money stretches much further. Compared to the U.S., Canada, or Europe, Panama offers:

  • Lower housing costs – Buy a luxury home for a fraction of North American prices.
  • Reduced utility bills – No heating required, and solar energy can eliminate power bills.
  • Affordable fresh food – Local markets provide organic fruits, vegetables, and meat at low prices.
  • Tax savings – No tax on foreign-earned income, and no inheritance tax.

For families looking to escape high taxes and financial burdens, Panama provides true financial freedom.

 

A HEALTHIER OUTDOOR LIFESTYLE

In Panama, kids don’t spend all day indoors glued to screens. The country’s year-round warm climate and natural beauty encourage a more active lifestyle. Families can enjoy:

  • Pristine beaches – Swim, surf, and explore tropical islands.
  • Mountains & hiking trails – Breathe fresh air and reconnect with nature.
  • Outdoor sports – Horseback riding, biking, fishing, and more.
  • Organic farming & homesteading – Grow your own food in the perfect climate.

At Veritas Village, families will have access to hiking trails, orchards, a tilapia pond, and stables, creating the ideal environment for raising healthy, adventurous kids.

 

EASY RESIDENCY OPTIONS FOR FAMILIES

Panama makes it easy for families to relocate and gain permanent residency. Some of the most popular visa options include:

  • Friendly Nations Visa – Fast-tracked residency for citizens of 50+ countries.
  • Pensionado Visa – Provides lifelong benefits for retirees (great for grandparents moving with you).
  • Qualified Investor Visa – Own property or invest in a business to qualify.

Once you have residency, your children can later apply for Panamanian citizenship, giving them even more opportunities for the future.
