Known for its incredible coffee, gorgeous beaches, and welcoming culture, it's no wonder Panama was named the best country in the world for expats.

The designation was part of a 2025 expat insider survey from expat community InterNations, which was shared with Travel + Leisure. In Panama, which took the top spot for the second year in a row, 94 percent of expats surveyed were satisfied with their lives abroad. The country was also considered a top spot for retirees with 35 percent of expats there retired and 18 percent saying retiring was their primary reason for moving.

The country's high ranking was due in part to its high quality of life, including affordable public transportation, extensive opportunities to travel, and beautiful natural environment.
