| Bocas
Del Toro - This
archipelago on Panama's northwest Caribbean coast was discovered by Columbus
on his fourth and final voyage to the new world. Prior to the opening
of the Panama canal, the town of Bocas del Toro was the center of commerce
for Central America and still reflects the colonial influence resulting
from worldwide activity in the once booming banana, coconut and cocoa business.
Jungle islands, hundreds of mangrove keys, white sand beaches, virgin coral
reefs and pristine waters against a backdrop of the 10,000 foot peaks of
the Cordillera create a micro-ecology of unspoiled beauty. |

| Immediate Panama Passport Program
- The so-called "Immediate
Panama Passport Program" may or may not be legitimate. We have found
no legislation for such a program; nor does any Panamanian government ministry
have knowledge or information regarding such a program. We have offices
in Panama and we have asked our attorneys to check on the availability
of any such program. They have found nothing. We strongly suggest
that you do not purchase nor invest in any such program. To the extent
of our knowledge there is no Immediate Panama Passport Program;
citizenship in Panama has to be obtained via a residency process which
usually takes four to five years. We do not link to sites promoting the
"Immediate Panama Passport Program". - If anyone has any information which
contradicts this please contact us with a list of the legislation. |

| Websites
Recommended By Expats |
| The
following websites have been recommended to us by expatriates living overseas |
| The
Expat Telegraph - This site is the definitive
site for expats. But it's for BRITS living abroad. You can
find out how to claim your pension abroad, which Medical Insurance to go
for, check on VISA and passport information and changes. Lots of
articles/stories by expats themselves, lots of good financial advice.
Good commentaries by journalists who understand the expat/transpat concept
and don't 'knock' anyone. There are puzzles and blogs, good travel
deals. This site has a great deal more about living in France or
Australia than it does the Caribbean, because that's where the brits have
emigrated to. The blogs are great. There is also a print version
which comes as a tabloid newspaper. But for me, its the perfect example
of an expat site. |
|
| BBC
- homepage - Home of the BBC on the Internet -
(for international news as we don't have TV) Being a writer I need to keep
current and I find the BBC the best source of international and regional
up to the minute news. Plus whatever subject I am researching I always
find a good rich source of well written unprejudiced material, and there
is no advertising getting in the way. (See sample below) |
The
Nature Videos of David Attenborough - BBC wildlife
- Watch the most memorable moments from an incredible career watching wildlife,
chosen by Sir David from the BBC archive. - David Attenborough's favourite
moments - Watch the most memorable moments from an incredible career watching
wildlife, chosen by Sir David from the BBC archive. David Attenborough's
favourite moments from the last 30 years represent not only memorable personal
experiences, but also the diversity of life on our planet and the rapidly
changing technological face of broadcasting. From close encounters with
some of the world's rarest creatures, to poignant commentary on the state
of the planet as a whole, this collection celebrates both an incredible
career and the joy of watching wildlife.
|
| Online
Newspapers - I never looked at any expat sites when
I moved to Panama (no computers and internet as we know it now in those
times, only the "Who's New" group in Panama which drove me crazy :-) )
Now I am only looking at my German newspapers and magazines Online
Newspapers In German which I can't buy anywhere in Panama,
so there is a nice site to find what I am looking for. In Online
Newspapers you can search for any newspaper around the world
actually. |

| Lonely
Planet - Destination Panama - "Panama offers some
of the finest snorkeling, birding and deeps fishing in the world, so it's
hard to figure out why travelers tend to steer clear of this country or
just whizz through on their way to or from South America. It may have something
to do with the fact that Panama is known internationally for its canal,
the 1989 US invasion and the name it donated to a style of headgear, but
this does it no justice. The reality is a proud prosperous nation which
honors its seven Indian tribes and its rich Spanish legacy, and which embraces
visitors so enthusiastically that it's difficult to leave without feeling
that you're in on a secret that the rest of the traveling world will one
day uncover." |
