Panama took the first place in Forbes rating among the best places to retire around the world. Forbes points out the easiness of moving to Panama by obtaining Pensiondo visa with $1,000 foreign income a month or otherwise getting a fairly new “Friends of Panama” visa. The only requirement for the latter is not having a local account with at least $5,000.
Forbes also points to the great weather conditions, strong economy and stable government. "It's a tropical paradise with beaches, jungles and mountains."
