I am from Germany and will retire with my wife to panama in about 7 years. Your website and YT chanel helped alot. You will be our first adress when our plan become truth.Thank you so much for the information and great work.
I was born in Toronto but moved to Alberta years ago. Things are bad in AB with no jobs and high cost of living so I am moving to BC...at least they have jobs. I want to move to Panama but am not ready yet.
Only 1 step to residency is discussed, and that is to deal with this lawyer/ firm. All the other info. is widely available everywhere. In my case, I have made my choice of visa. I watched this and still don't know the steps to residency. Are there forms? Where do I get them? How much is the process? Can it be diy, or does one need an attorney?

@@davidlu5356 India. I was thinking about emigrating. North america and western Europe have tightened their immigration policies it seems. So i was looking into south and central America.
I was wondering why there was no reply to both @Apache Ortega and @ Xstation VR when they asked questions concerning criminal records? Can you please address those questions as they apply to me as well.
For PANAMA -PENSIONADO VISA what kind of source of pensions exactly ?? Is there any specific source or earning from fixed deposit from bank fixed deposit or earning from real estate is acceptable ??
Just to be sure, can you live in Panama while you are waiting for your permanent residency (under the Friendly nations visa) application to go through?
Hi Adam. First of all i apologize that i did not have the time to watch the entire video. I'm a 55 yr old disabled American man. I have no criminal recored. I recently came back from my first trip to Bocas town just off the Bocas Del Toro islands. I could see them from my cabin. My questions are, what Visa would be best for me? Could I apply for dual citizenship and still receive my Social Security? Is permanent residency the best option? And I heard it is necessary to hire an attorney to buy and receive title to any land or home purchased. Thanks Adam.
Looks like they don't reply to comments. Not good! What is required is a pension that states "pension for life", so lump sum will kill that. They want to see an income stream u can't get your hands on. So for pensionado visa u can have a 2 million IRA and it won't work. Stupid. Mexico residency can be had in 3 weeks, no atty and no other crap too. Need about $1500/mo tho.
Permanent resident means you have all the rights of a citizen except you can't vote and maybe a few other things. being a citizen and a permanent resident are two different things
Greetings, I do not have a clean background, a mistake 29 years ago. I am retired from the U.S. Army and am well set for life as far as pension. Do I qualify for any visa whatsoever in order to become a permanent resident? Thank you.
Hello Adam, how "clean" does your record need to be? Does it have to be squeaky clean like no run ins with the law at all, or can it be clean as in a misdemeanor? or can it be clean like extradition, community service, etc?
Hello John i was looking the internet with my wife i met you few years ago (Stéphane Gérald from Tahiti,New Caledonia ) Hope you could do your development near your resort if come back to Panama we ll come to say hello Faithfully yours
Thank you for all the info. For the visa pensionado, will it be enough if a bank in Canada to certify that they will deposit US$ 1000 into my account for the next two years?
@@toddmaggio2032 If your lifetime pension income is less than US$1,000 per month, but equal to or more than US$750 per month, you may purchase any Panama real estate property with a value of at least US$100,000, which reduces the lifetime monthly pension income requirement down to a minimum of US$750.
Hi. I am on a fixed income and don't want to be in expat enclaves. I prefer a out of the way location not too far from a beach. Simple jungle/country life is what I seek. I have enough to open an account. Cost of living is my challenge.
@@pawshands9706 What area of Panama are you looking at? I know a lot of great realtors all over the country. As for immigration, Jon from this video at POLs can help you (with both actually)
I am disabled with a Social Security amount that meets the Panamanian requirements. I believe the Pensionado Visa would be the most applicable for my minimum income. I am targeting Mainland Bocas Del Toro. Wondering what the annual estimated income in that area would be. In addition, I am wondering what the process or steps would be for buying land to build a small home would be? Would I get my title as soon as i pay an attorney for the land, or is it a potential purchase ripoff scam that would deplete my limited income ?

If i may ask, how's your experience in the country ? Is it as good as advertised ?
I have enjoyed it but everyone is different... where are you currently based?

I would like to ask some personal questions about my case how to receive a pension but I do get Disability and Child Support will that qualify me

Is it true that since I married a lady from Panama I can get a residence card??
I was wondering why there was no reply to both @Apache Ortega and @
Xstation VR when they asked questions concerning criminal records? Can you please address those questions as they apply to me as well.
You do have to get a criminal check done.
Is a World Service Authority Passport recognized and usable to come there?
For PANAMA -PENSIONADO VISA what kind of source of pensions exactly ?? Is there any specific source or earning from fixed deposit from bank fixed deposit or earning from real estate is acceptable ??
It would need to be an official annuity.
The website -POLS.com.pa comes up as unsafe to visit.
Just saw they discontinued Friendly Nation Visa is that true? Also saw retirement no longer 1000 but 3000 is that correct?
Oops think i got that mixed up with Nomadic Worker visa
They did make some adjustments. 1. you need a n investment of 200K or a work contract.
How ling can a tourist stay there going back an forth to Panama
180 days for tourist visa BUT drivers license only valid for 90 days.
@@PlayaPeeps we in Trinidad and Tobago do not need visas just a return ticket

You can register for the Friendly Nations Visa
What are the lawyer (abogato) fees to complete this process? Is a lawyer required to complete the process?

You do need an attorney. Are you retired? Receiving a pension?
Is Jamaica one of the friendly country
Great video!
When I retire, I am going to want to take a 'lump sum' rather than pension payments. How would this affect the Retirement Visa?

I won't take a lump sum if I were you. I decided not to and now I get my pension every month for the rest of my life.
if you be come Panama citizen can you still keep ur other passport?
Permanent resident means you have all the rights of a citizen except you can't vote and maybe a few other things. being a citizen and a permanent resident are two different things
if you dont want to pay tax in your home country, then no u cant keep your passport
do you need English-speaking court reporters there?
No, not a chance

Shouldn't be a problem.
If I become a citizen of Panama, can I still collect my social security from the USA?
Of course you can.

I think you will need longer than that.

Panama uses USD
What about India and South Africa ?
You need a clean criminal record in Panama or in the Country you are from ? My record is why I want away from this country .
The worst place to live, and don’t trust the this guys,
Why and why? Care to explain?
Do not recommend this country, stay in the USA, you are better off, why , the healthcare, is terrible,
Not true!! You don’t no what you’re talking about
