22. Insurance Generally insured up to $20k Insured from packing to unloading at your house Having a man on the ground is important because if the truck flips while shipping your goods from the port to your new home, you pay the deductible for the clean-up and THEN they pick your stuff up off the street! Who will save you in the event of any emergency?

23. NOTICE You can’t do any of this without permanent residency status, not even your car. Packing Itemized list Anything made of wood must be fumigated and certified.

24. GUN Control in Panama The only way you can bring a fire arm into the country is if you have all the government paperwork to prove that you were a gun dealer. Better to sell back home and buy new ones here. If you’re not happy with that answer, there may be solutions now available to you.

25. Pets to Panama Certificate of good health from Vet. Needs to have had all shots.

Once in Panama, you pay the government $150 or your pet will be quarantined for 30 days. There isn’t actually a quarantine service, but you have to pay it.
