"Expatriates should be aware that Bocas del Toro is a remote area with limited access to modern amenities. English is not widely spoken, so it is important to learn some Spanish before moving to the area. The cost of living is relatively low, but expats should be prepared to pay more for imported goods. The climate is tropical and humid, so it is important to bring appropriate clothing and mosquito repellent. The local currency is the Balboa, but US dollars are widely accepted. Finally, expats should be aware that the area is prone to natural disasters such as hurricanes and flooding," said another expat in Bocas del Toro, Panama.
