Panama-Stadt Fragen & Antworten

I'm a Brazilian expat living in Panama City with my child. I'm separated from the mother and we're negotiating child support. I earn around $800 a month and my fixed personal expenses are around $250. I also have private health insurance for my child, but I'm not sure if it will increase my costs. The mother earns roughly the same as me and says her fixed expenses (rent and services) take up almost half her paycheck. She's keeping a record of her expenses and says she'll go to court if we can't agree on a payment plan.

I'm looking for a reliable SUV with good space and safety features. I've been researching for two months and my budget is $18,000. I've considered Honda CRV, Mazda CX5, and Acura, but they're too expensive to maintain. I want to know if there are any good used car options available.

I've been with Tigo for a while, paying $37 for wifi with 100 MB and $23 for data. However, the prices kept increasing, and I ended up paying $26 for data and $44 for wifi with 500 MB. This year, I lost my job and had to cut expenses, so I cancelled my data plan and stuck with wifi. I recently got a new job and a salesperson from Más Movil offered me a data plan for $18. I'm considering switching to Más Movil, but I'm not sure if it's worth it.

I'm looking to renew my car insurance in Panama City and someone recommended Eprezto, but I'm not sure if it's a good option. My current broker is offering a higher price, but Eprezto is advertising a better deal. Has anyone used Eprezto for car insurance?

I applied to the Escuela de Aprendices in Panama City a month ago and took the first online test. I haven't received any information yet, and when I email the ACP, it just tells me to request an appointment. In the Smartrecruiter extension, my application now shows as archived, but I haven't received any email saying I didn't meet the requirements. Has anyone else had this happen to them?

I've been analyzing my credit history and I don't get why the APC score seems to be a contradiction. I've paid off debts, made timely payments, and even paid off a car loan early. But when I tried to finance a new car, the bank told me I need to pay a higher interest rate because I changed jobs recently. Is this just a show, or is there something I'm missing?

I have a 9-month-old baby who isn't circumcised. We just met a new pediatrician who recommended that we lower the foreskin from 4 months on for cleaning.

I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max with 512 GB storage and 84% battery life, but I think I'll change the battery when it reaches 80%. I want the change to be as original as possible, with an Apple battery, good sealing, and everything recognized correctly by iOS, because I want to resell it later in good condition.

I've seen dozens of videos from people saying their accounts have been emptied at Banko General. Is this a security breach or something else?

I've seen prices at Dairy Queen, Pricesmart, and food trucks. The hot dog at Pricesmart costs $5.99 with fries and soda, which is more expensive than a cheeseburger combo at McDonald's and the Pricesmart coupons. It's just a hot dog with sausage and bun, and it's gone up so much. I've been avoiding processed meats for a while now, but I do buy chorizo instead of sausage occasionally.

I've been watching videos about egg donation in Panama and they mention getting paid around $1,000 to $1,500, which seems low compared to other countries where it costs around $5,000 per process. What do you think? Has anyone already gone through this process?

I've noticed the chaotic traffic in the 5 de Mayo area and I'm concerned about the informal buses, especially how they disregard traffic rules and pedestrians.

I've tried to avoid the area during peak hours, but I'd like to know if there's a better way to get around without dealing with these informal buses.

I'd like to know which stores in Panama City accept American Express, as I have the card but it's not as widely accepted as Visa or Mastercard. I'm looking for specific stores, not just gas stations or supermarkets.
