Looking for French Expats in Panama?

To gain a better understanding of expat life in Paris, we asked our Indian members for their opinions. Let’s start with the positive ones first.

Now let's move to negative reviews of expat life in Panama City

Every year, we publish one of the biggest global surveys among expats — asking them about various aspects of their life, from work to leisure. Learn what motivated our French members to move abroad, what keeps them there, and what they struggle with or miss about home.

Of course, expat living in Panama is not just about shipping your belongings and filing in some bureaucratic papers. Regular socializing with fellow French is an essential part of expat life and helps getting accustomed to the Panamanian way of life and mentality. InterNations helps you connect and meet up with other French in Panama, residing in Panama City, Colón, Balboa and many other places throughout the country. Just take a look at our group of French in Panama City.

If you ever wish to have a chat in your native language, discover where to shop for French food or discuss your favorite sports team's latest match, become a member of the Panamanian InterNations Community:

• Look up our top quality network to get to know open-minded expats from France in Panama.
• Obtain and share insider tips in our Panama Expat Forums – e.g. how to hire a babysitter fluent in your native tongue for your children or where to get foie gras in Colón.
• Search the InterNations Places database for Panama to get information on institutions from your home country, including the French embassy.

From the Río Chagres and Gatun Lake to the Distrito Central, we’ll help you connect with supportive and friendly French expats in Panama.
