I’ve been doing extensive research preparing myself to transition. Thank you so much for sharing. I am going to be moving to Panama in 10 years (or sooner). I’m in my 40s currently, but in 10 years by then I will be in my 50s and my two daughters will be adults (in their early 20s).. I used to travel to Panama when I was a kid and I always loved it. I want to go back and live there this time. It’s so beautiful. Panama looks so much like Florida. My only fear of living in Panama is not speaking the language (even though people swear I’m Hispanic because of my complexion and my hair, but I am not Hispanic) LOL. I’m from Jamaica (but grew up in Florida) and I don’t speak Spanish. I will do the Friendly Nations option $200k property investment. I sew and I wonder if I can sew in Panama start a Sewing business in Panama?🤔 JM
Bonjour, si je comprends bien, une option mix d'investissement entre immo et compte à terme pour un montant total de 300k€ entre les deux, permettrait d'obtenir la résidence permanente immédiate ? C'est bien cela svp ?
As for a clean police record. Is that referring to convictions only? What if someone has a arrest only record as a teenager 50 years ago? Would immigration accept that? Great video. Thanks
Rainelda, I would love to talk with you about a pensioner option. Im a US citizen currently living in Bangkok Thailand on a retirement visa. Ive sent an email to you, or if there is a better way for me to contact you please let me know. This was a great video with really good information. Thank for your help and this wonderful information.
We're glad you enjoyed the video! We understand that certain climates aren't for everyone. If not Panama, where is your dream retirement destination? 🌎
Because I have always lived in a similar weather, I don't see this is a big issue, although certainly a point to be stressed. That being said, depending on air conditioning has never been a problem to me, just like it's not a problem needing the heating for people living in colder regions.
How in the heck do you get an FBI report? 😂..... Do you get 6 months automatically when traveling in? Who does tours? Anything for a regular working American? Most of us dont have 200,000 laying around.
@@LFG22124 Usually, you hear something unusual about a country ahead of time if you follow the expat/slow travel space. Not only do you NOT hear anything distinctive about it (positive or negative), you still don't even AFTER researching it! It reminds me of the American cities like Dallas, Atlanta, or San Diego.
This was very informative. Thank you Reinelda and Panama for your diplomatic gestures and willingness to open your borders to neighboring countries.
We're glad you found this video helpful, thanks for commenting! 🇵🇦
Great presentation! I really appreciate the clarification on the health requirement.
Simple, easy to understand answers and guidance. THANK YOU!
What is an 'updated marriage license' and why would the 'original' not suffice? Just trying to avoid problems when applying for our visa.
Does an annuity such as from MetLife count for pensionado?

How can I get in contact with Reinelda please?
So where does Social Security fit in here? Is it considered a government pension?
Yes, social security is considered as pension in Panama. Someone asked the same question in the audience and the lady said it's acceptable.
Oh, thanks,@@Manny_Boston. I didn't hear that, but I haven't gotten through the entire video.
Actually it is the standard bearer.
Cool! Willing to go there
I enjoyed this video.
I heared there is a further option, to create a business.
Great information.

I want to know how can I setup LLC in panama as Iranian citizen ?

It's case by case. One would have to present the FBI Criminal Record to the immigration attorney for the appropriate answer.

Thank you for the video. For me, Panama is too hot and humid, while the northern region, which is at a higher elevation, is too rainy.

@@internationalliving - Well, we lived in Cuenca for a little over a year, and now we are in southern France. We like both places equally.

Gotta do 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️💒 first
You couldn’t pay me to live there.
I hear that !
Panama has never struck me as an interesting country.
I agree but they sure make it very easy to become a resident. That alone is interesting.
Define "interesting."
@@LFG22124 Out of the ordinary.

@@LFG22124 The only thing you hear about it is that it is well developed and has a lot of international flights. YAWN
