I am Officially a Panama Permanent Resident!

 # 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. ## 1. Freedom 2. Cost of Living 3. Taxes 4. Like-minded Individuals 5. Crypto Currency Hub ## Bad Things About Panama. ## 1. Customer Service 2. Government Ineptitude 3. Traffic 4. Infrastructure 5. 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. ### Check out my article, ["Panama Cost of Living 2017."](https://steemit.com/travel/@hilarski/panama-cost-of-living-2017) https://img1.steemit.com/0x0/http://www.randyhilarski.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Randy-Banner-Steemit.jpg
