We asked people living in Panama to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"I arrived 4 days ago, and so far, I don't wish for anything more, nor anything less. I've brought clothing and essentials and that's all," said another expat in Panama City, Panama.

"Before moving to Panama, check basic legal documents such as passport ID, drivers license, credit card, tax return and bank statements, police record, all apostilled. If you want to open a bank account or start applying for residency, these documents will be important. Other practical stuff: Breathable t-shirts (2-3 pairs); Quick-dry shorts (1-2 pairs); 1 pair of full-length pants; Long-sleeved outer layer; Rain jacket; Light puffy jacket; Workout clothes for hikes & adventures; Bathing suits/board shorts," wrote Business Panama from Business Panama Group.
