Legal & ImmigrationPanama Just Expanded Its Retiree Discounts: What the New Pensionado Law Means for You
On November 2, 2025, Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino signed a law expanding Panama's retiree discount program (originally Law 6 of 1987) to all retirees and pensioners regardless of age plus foreign permanent residents, granting 15% to 30% off healthcare, restaurants, prescriptions, utilities and funeral services, with fines up to USD 5,000 for businesses that refuse to honor them. The expanded discounts take effect six months after publication in Panama's Gaceta Oficial and require qualifying Panamanian residency, such as the Pensionado Visa (USD 1,000/month lifetime pension, or USD 750/month with a USD 100,000+ property purchase).

That makes Panama uniquely attractive for health-conscious expats and retirees, who can pair WHO-compliant air with Johns Hopkins-affiliated healthcare, a U.S. dollar economy, property from about $150,000, and a comfortable lifestyle for $2,500–$3,500 per month.
