Great video! Me and my family are from Dublin, Georgia.
@@RealMNeutral31 glad you enjoyed the ride through!
Great video. I'm a born Panamanian and I wasn't aware of the many number of residency/visas that Panama offers, just amazing. Thanks for the information and for your visit 👍🏾
Yes, the diversity is outstanding, that is what make so special 💖
😁 Thanks for stopping by! Yes Panama makes it easy...if you have the money.
Hi Yarbros! I've been watching since Merida, MX. I was a little sad when y'all left Mexico, but watching y'all travel all these other countries has been great! Thank you for your content. I appreciate the perspective y'all bring to youtube!
You got us gushing 😊 Thanks!
I went to Merida after watching their video and hated it 😂😂
This how I found them and now I’m happy I found them again!
I love the vibe and how transparent you are with your videos ! Hubby and I are considering Panama for retirement so this content is right on time !
Way cool hopefully we'll be putting out some good info f9r you guys! Thanks for watching!
Ms. ZOE ...
Don't retire to Panamá. Its not all what it looks.
it;s nice to see an AirB&B recommendation. Most say, "this was the best! " and then refuse to tell you where it is!. Glad to see you in Panama. I will enjoy seeing your perspective (I just found your channel). I went there last year and enjoyed it.
Cool! Glad you found us! We have a couple of more cities to see then we'll give our overall impressions. Meanwhile we sincerely enjoying ourselves here.
Amazing video, information and love the vibe you’ll are bringing!! Much love and stay blessed!
I can never get enough of your videos. You are my favorite YT because you are real and authentic. I feel like I am closer to my goals every time I watch the Yarbros.. Panama is very beautiful. I knew about it but I didnt know about it.
Love you for this! You are who we're talking to....we have lots of places like that on our list...we know but....need more info. Hopefully we can keep the info flowing! Thanks for being here for us!
Panama looks beautiful! Thanks for great tour
Thanks for watching and hanging w/ us.
Excellent editing and video quality. Thanks for sharing! Love the dynamic of you two.
Love that you roll w/ us. Thank you on all accounts!
I'm 100% with you guys. Panama is my first stop on my early retirement tour. Thanks for the video. I've vacationed in Panama and really liked the experience.
Still hanging with you all. Haven’t been watching here lately this past month but glad to be back on track. Love your content and love there will be new explorations. I’m on this journey with you for temp residence abroad. Stay safe 🙏🏾
Welcome back!🙂
I loved this video. 💖 I don’t think I’ve ever seen you two smile so deep about a place. I’m definitely wanting a residency other than the u.s. in my pocket. Looks like I’ll be adding Panama to my list. Also I signed up for house/animal sitting using your link. Thanks a million for the discount.
Definitely checkout Panama - you might be smiling like us! And, thanks for using our link!
Totally appreciate the way y'all videoed everything to help me visualize what to expect. Sometimes it's hard to just listen to people talk. Lot's of info! Thanks! Wish you guys fun, excitement, and self fulfillment!

How beautiful to see you enjoy Panama... that's right, this small country is very diverse in the north of the country there are mountains climate with very cool temperatures the strawberry is the strawberry with chocolates it is the dessert of every day and the preferred place of retirement Boquete in the north Caribbean is Bocas del TORO IS A LITTLE PIECE OF cultural contribution of the afro community in panama with beautiful white sand beaches it is a charming environment with wooden houses like those of the antilles beaches like Isla Estrella or Punta Zapatilla are some of its beaches In the center of the country is the culture that protects folklore, you will see festivals that recall times of yore and just an hour and a half closer than Ye Gorgona is a group of islands in the Pacific but with beautiful white and yellow sands such as Contadora Isla del Rey , Taboga and the most beautiful for me with 12 almost virgin beaches of wheat-colored sand SABOGA IS PARADISE ON EARTH I hope you can go
Thank you for letting us know about the goodness of the land and where to find it!
That heel click at the end was adorable. :) Made me smile. Thanks.
😁 Thank you for watching!
Hey Yabros,
Glad you both enyoying yourself in Panama. I'm right behind you guys in 2023.
Bring it on and enjoy yourself!
OMG the beach looks amazing!
Lovely to listen to at night too! #beachlife
Thank you. ❤️
Thank you for this video. (I am eager for air travel to return to normal.) I'm in retirement research mode. I love how you added the visa information--it's so important, but often not mentioned in detail by TH-camrs. Panama is actually Plan B on my list for retirement. So, my special thanks for the video. When are you guys going to check out some of the 54 countries in Africa? (Or have you already done so? Please let me know.) Retirement somewhere on The Continent is my Plan A; I am currently considering several southeast and southern countries. Except for South Africa, I have not found many TH-camrs talking about retirement there.
Can't wait to get out to Panama in August/September! You all's lifestyle is inspiring. I hope to be there one day!
Wishing you safe travels and all that glitters ain't gold lol. This lifestyle has its flaws but we are thoroughly appreciating it. Blessings!
Mike Ben.... just a tip of advice. August/September is still the rainy season and it could rain every day. The best time is January through March/April which is the dry season and the best time to travel around the country and enjoy the beaches or mountains.
@@albertomanuelcheung7103 Thanks Alberto!
Love your video. I was hoping to meet up with you in Panama City but we arrived late in the City and returned to Florida the next day.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in the city and also Boquete.
Too bad we couldn't connect but glad you enjoyed your time here! We heard that Boquete was something special...hopefully we can make it out there......
Y’all are so cute and these videos are very enjoyable. You do the best editing of any of those I’m following.
Wow!!! Love to hear that!😁! Lots of work goes into it and we're glad it enhances the experience. Love hearing from you!
❤️❤️❤️anotha one!!!!! Wow y’all are so cool!
Thank you for that awesome support!!! Love the views 😄
❤ loving your videos.
Loving your attention!
Bro this was edited so well! From the "fly-like" perspective of the rooms 😂then transitioning to the gorgeous outside views, what did you use to edit?? You got yourself another subscriber! I'm a US citizen thinking about moving to Panama with my future wife from Philippines, do you know if that'd be a good idea? Trying to avoid the mandatory covid shot required by US for immigrants.
Gracias por el apoyo seguimos recorriendo todo San Miguelito , aun no he visto el capitulo 1 de Poemas de un dictador en youtube, saludos.

Lovely thank you
Thanks, glad you could check it out! Sending you good vibes and prayers of safety and security!
Thanks for visite my country Panamá.
Thanks for hosting us.
I LOVED your video!! Yes, we need OPTIONS! Thanks for visiting Panama. How long will you be here? Yes, the Pacific is "RUDE" LOL . . . I had one Member who MOVED because the waves gave her anxiety! BEINVENIDO PANAMA!!
Hola!!! Thanks for watching and supporting us! We appreciate you and love to see y'all out here being the connect!
Beautiful Country!
Gorgeous and luscious!
Thank You , 🍀👍💚
Thanks 🍀
Panama wasn't love at first sight for me, but after living and traveling for 3+ years in different countries in Latam, it will now be my new home and I am happy about it! I guess you also need a little time to get used to the culture en general to be able to rate a country.
Great video. Be sure to visit Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹!
Wow beautiful i wish you could visit David before you go.We are here going on 3 months and looking to retire here.I use to live in Malaysia and that is a good country to retire in.So many beautiful countries to see.
Yes, you don't hear about Malaysia as much as other Asian countries the it is a gem! We want to make it out there but time and money are conflicting w/ desire big time #life 😁
Oh and, I have friends who JUST moved there from Florida and they LOVE IT! Never will return to the US
When you find the right place you just know!
Love it y’all! I need to go ahead and get that dual citizenship.
They just asking for a little too much investment dollars. 🤣
You guys have to check out El Valle, it's not far from Gorgona
We're planning on it!
I was born to American parents in Panama and I can’t wait to return.
Cheers to your homecoming!
Great Video! The age requirement for the Pensioners visa is surprising. I would love to see a video that touches on the 20 countries that you have been to.
Okay maybe we'll do a round up and summary!
You guys need to visit El Valle. It is approximately 30 minutes from Coronado. Welcome to my small country Panama 🇵🇦. Blessings 🙏
Thanks for hosting us. Why is El Valle special?
@@TheYarbros it is a small community in the mountains. Of course there is also an expat community there. It is beautiful and one of my favorites place as Panamanian. Boquete is also highly recommended, but that is further almost to the border with Costa Rica.
Your videos are great. I'm considering moving to Panama when I retire. How long will you guys stay in Panama? Will you visit other areas like Boquete or El Valle de Anton?
Thanks! We will likely be here for another week or so. We were considering Boquete but its rainy and pretty remote so maybe El Valle and a couple of other towns before we leave.
Nice
Thanks
Panama is like USA..there many culture...beautiful beaches...
The food dif. Prices..not so expensive.
Houses depend of your budget..
Enjoy your steady in Panama..
Thanks!
One of the things that I admire about Panama is how they structure benefits for the average person. If one purchases a home if it is under $120,000, this helps the majority of people. After 120k, it is still low at 1/2 of 1%, so a 200k home is still only $400 a year in taxes. Over 750K sales price, it is a higher percentage but that is more of a luxury home anyway.
Why do you believe a purchase under 120K helps the population? Just curious. Their tax structure seems to benefit foreigners with money to me. I don't see the benefit to their people...but I would be interested in learning.
@@TheYarbros I'm not coming from an expat perspective, I'm seeing this as benefitting the local Panamanian who is buying a home under this price range. I'm contrasting it with the US economy where many tax incentives seem to favor the wealthy. Many people in the countryside work in the agricultural sector. If one makes less than 350k per year in agriculture they pay no taxes. This allows subsistence farmers or people with the classic small family business to survive.
Even lower incomed Panamanians have access to low cost medical. One can go to a public medical clinic for a few dollars and have medical care. This is another benefit that helps the local Panamanian. Taxes are much higher for the local population in Costa Rica by comparison. One pay around 10% of their declared income for the public health option, so it can be a hardship for the poorer members of a society. Again, this is only contrasting Costa Rica and Panama, not other nations.
I'm very happy with being a permanent resident of Panama and I have a great appreciation to the people and government of Panama. I'm not a wealthy retiree and live quite simply here in Panama and I contribute to the extent that I am able to do so. Having my permanent residency through the Pensionado program, I am not able to work in Panama. Thus, I'm not taking a job away from any local person. So, whatever I spend in Panama, is a benefit to the country. I use the private medical system, since I didn't pay into taxes here, I don't think I should avail myself of a system that I didn't participate in.
One of the reasons that the Friendly Nations program was changed was that previously it was only 5k to get permanent residency and then these people could be in competition with the citizens for jobs. So, by now having to invest 200k into real estate or in the bank, it establishes that new people have some resources in the changing world economy.
As one can see with Ecuador changing their requirements, residencies are becoming more concerned with the world economy. So as time goes on it will be more expensive and there will be less opportunities.
Thank you for your wonderful work I'm looking for a place to move to with my 16 year old son is Panama the place?
I LOVE ❤️, my country 🇵🇦
We do too!
Did you scope out hairdressers for African hair? I love the way you have your hair but I know it can be high maintenance. For me and retirement years, I’d like to know my hair doesn’t become a high maintenance routine. Please share !
You guys must be headed to Ecuador. I just came from there. I loved it. Guayaquil isn't a great place to visit, just a warning. But Quito is amazing. Spanish is BIG there. Much more than Panama. It's harder to get what you need without it. If you need a connect in Quito, I know a brother to show you around.
Ohh, yeah the big Spanish test...hope we fare well.
Sooo.... Panama City or Gorgola? I like that greenery. I can see myself planting a garden in my yard. Sorry if I butchered that name. Hehe
Y'all plan on staying in Panama for a while? I think US citizens can stay there 6 months on tourist visa.
The house-sitting gig sounds wonderful. Me and my wife gonna do that when we go abroad again in 2023.
Love y'all and I ride or die with y'all on TH-cam.
Ayee thanks for riding w/ us! We'll probably be here for another week or so. It's definitely fertil soil around these parts.
Aw!!!! Just saw this video! I’m in Coronado…are you guys still here? Would love to meet you both. 😊💃🏾😊
Not anymore sadly. Are you living out there or visiting? We headed back to the city for a few days.
I’m a permanent resident. I’ve been here since Nov 2020. I’ve lost 35 pounds and truly have a new lease on life. Panamá resonates with me. I love it here.💕
Hi there! Were you talking about Ecuador when you mentioned a country that requires $800 a month for temporary residency and uses the USD? If so, it has gone up to $1275 a month per person and I'm not sure for a dependent. Are you going to Boquete up north in your travels? Thanks for sharing...your filming is really great!
Yes, didn't know Ecuador's went up and thanks for the compliment. 😄
@@TheYarbros Yes, I believe it happened in March or thereabouts. It had been at $425 (it went down after the pandemic came, and then they tripled it. I have two sources of retirement income...SS isn't quite enough for the new minimum, but my teacher retirement is more than enough...always something, right?
Y'all both are such an inspirational couple. 100 countries takes courage and patience. I'd be like, girl please this place looks nice. We don't have to try out everything :) The question I have for you is, which one of you is the Spanish expert? For us it is my wife and I'm getting my duolingo on. What do you recommend to learn Spanish quickly?
Apryl is more fluent than I am. I tend to understand live conversations better. Together we're competent lol. In regards to best language learning....I think immersion in cartoons, kids shows and music are best.
Panama 🇵🇦 is beautiful I will live in anytime
👌🏾
How's the rain there? I'm going next week and the forecast looks sad 😩
Currently it rains 2 out of 3 days but there is usually some sunshine too.
Great video and thank you for sharing some invaluable information! Enjoy that beautiful ocean!
From your mouth to our hearts.... we're enjoying these waves! 🌊⛱️😄
Yo have to visit Boquete Panama
Want to but it's too far away and traveling within the country isn't convenient...yet.
👋 Hello. New subscriber here.
Hey!!! Welcome to the fam!😄
Who does your video editing…it’s so professional with a nice flow
That would be me...thank you I really appreciate that! -Rondel
@@TheYarbros
Great job…I’m about to start videos for my TH-cam channel. Can you give advice like what editor do you use and anything else will help me
@@meharijon1763 I used a cheap version of Adobe that I can own outright called Adobe Premier Elements not the best but it works for me. I also use Inshot for certain effects...yeah I do them on my phone and import the clips over.
Suggestions:
Learn the capabilities of your editor...what it does well and what it dosent do well. Try to be as dynamic with your visual storytelling as you are with your oration. Play with natural transitions, I find it really resonates w/ the audience. Best wishes on your journey!
@@TheYarbros
Thanks, I appreciate the advice. I look forward to enjoying the journey ✊🏾
@@TheYarbros
I got you for the subscribe 👍🏽 and I will continue to see your vids
I wanna connect with you guys. Planning to migrate from the Caribbean. Any tips?
You can connect with us through our website theyarbros.com/expat-coaching/
Our major suggestion is pretty basic. Research, research and more research. Taxes, climate, neighborhoods, political stability. Next, would be to get you a contact person who is there. 3rd visit and explore life there before any commitments.
@@TheYarbros sounds logical and good, thanks
Wonderful video amigos, I really enjoyed your helpful insight on what Panama has to offer. Always anxious to watch the next adventure as y'all always deliver.
Stay safe & blessed always-- Thank you Apryl and Rondell. Much love, much happiness always.
(｡^ω^｡)♡
Thank you loving your support and kindness. May your weekend be filled with love, safety....and good food 😅🤣❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for your video. I love Panama. Do you need a car to be comfortable in Gorgona?
Imm gonna say no you don't NEED one but it will def make your life more convenient. There are cheap taxis everywhere and we had (3 taxi drivers) numbers as soon as we got there but had we rented a car we could have done much more.
@@TheYarbros thank you. I have very poor eyesight and don’t drive. My wife does. We’ve started looking around Panama City.
@@DanSmith-oj2vo I like Gorgona because it's an hour outside the city...a short drive. It's in an inexpensive area and close to the beach....but it us a rather country environment. Panama City or closer to it would be the move if you prefer a "city" life. I hear that Boquete if a nice place as well.
@@TheYarbros Boquete is very nice. I’ve been there twice. It’s cooler in the mountains. I think we are going to concentrate our search in Panama City. Once we are staying there, we’ll take trips to the beach and to El Valle.
Get in where u fit in ya feel me
Haha I owned in this building. I love the place
It was a nice set up! Really liked our stay there.
@@TheYarbros yea nice complex. Had to sell cuz of covid. Had a loan and it just wasn’t working. Covid killed it for me :(
Just when I was settled on CR y’all got me thinking about panama. I need more info on where the food healthcare is - besides deep in the city and what the rents are in places like Gorgono. Are u going to Bocas, Chitre, Las Tablas? Volcan? I hope u will explore and share more before u leave.
Btw, do y’all get more $ if I let the ads play? I tend to skip but if y’all benefit I’ll let ‘em roll
Stay well!🤴🏾👸🏾🖤🙏🏽👏🏾🥰
Healthcare in CR is better but it's really good here. There is a clinic in Cordona that most expats use. Rents in Gargona...depends oceanfront costs between $800- $2500/ month nice condos run about $1200/ month. We didn't plan on hitting up Bocas. It dosent seem like our vibe w/ the lack of infrastructure and it's a long way to travel. We will def hit up some other areas before we leave and try to answer more of your questions. Appreciate you!
@@TheYarbros I feel like prices are rising faster than my social security. Thank you for responding. I wanna give y’all a hug and cook ya a meal. That’s the way us old Black Ladies show Gratitude. 🙏🏽🥗🌮🌯🥙🥞🍰🍮
@@ginarivers3779 You're welcome! I do love some tasty gratitude 😋😁😇
@@TheYarbros Have you all found a Blackity Black area similar to Puerto Viejo in Panama? Or any kind of Black community?
@@ginarivers3779 There are a couple ...one is too far out for us to venture to & the other underserved community we'll be visiting soon God willing.
You gave pluses on "the Why side". What about some minuses?
Ohh, you kniw its coming....all about balance 😁✌🏾
I miss Albrook Mall!! Let me know if you want my cousin to show you guys around or make you some patacones!!!
Ummm, yes, yes and yes! Any connections we can make in the city would be cool. Let us know! Pantacones are a new addiction!
I thought 🇵🇦 stopped the friendly nation's visa , is it still available?
Yes, it appears to still be available.
Enjoy life
The 11th commandment 😁
Have you guys ever had bug issues here? Mosquitos? Would love to move here or Merida, but can't stand bugs 🙃
Mosquito problems in both places. More bug issues in Merida though for sure. Tropical climates come with a wide array of bugs though.
BUGS,ROACHES,MOSQUITOS AND 🐍🐍🐍🪳🕷🦗🪲🐜🐝🪰🦟🦠🪱🪱🪱...🤯🤯🤯.
I’m moving to Ghana 🇬🇭
Congratulations! Safe travels!
Is cost of living and rents cheaper than Costa Rica?
Yes it is. CR is more expensive than Panama....that shocked me.
Come on editing! 🩸
Appreciate that!
Are you guys thinking of staying? Finally found a forever spot?? Spill it!
Nah, not here, not yet. The search continues! After we set foot in 100 different countries we'll be ready to commit.
Just found you all. What is your favorite country so far?
That's hard to say to live in Thailand, MX or Ecuador but we still have much to see.
Aye Yabro, Have you worked here in Panama?
No, not for anyone else.
Only negative..is Panama runs on the US dollar ? ... enjoy your visit
....that and this garbage that seems to be everywhere.
