Panama City, Panama
I’m starting to feel like a proud
uncle. I flew in to Panama yesterday afternoon and thought, “look at how
much you’ve grown!”
Things were so different the first time
I came to Panama in 2004.
It was quieter. Underdeveloped.
Backward. And cheaper. You could buy an oceanfront condo for $50,000 in the
nicest part of town.
Over the years as I’ve traveled
back and forth here (and even lived here for a spell), it was obvious how much
Panama was growing… and how quickly.
Between the rapid increase of trade, the
Panama Canal expansion, and droves of foreigners moving here looking for a
better life, Panama’s GDP growth was one of the highest in the world
throughout the last decade.
You can see it on the ground. The
skyline here in the capital has entirely transformed, and the city itself has
become cosmopolitan (yet still entirely affordable).
Expats here live very well. English is
widely spoken, the medical services are excellent, a high standard of living is
available at a reasonable cost, and the nightlife is fantastic—from top
quality restaurants to more exotic adult adventures. Panama was one of the first countries in
the world to establish a program specifically aimed attracting retirees. They promised special discounts and a
number of attractive benefits to anyone who could demonstrate a certain level
of retirement income.
The program worked, and foreigners
showed up en masse.
Over the next several years, the government established all sorts of immigration programs hoping to attract investors—from forestry to agriculture to finance. (With a whopping 52 ways to obtain residency, it’s clear the residency visa requirements in Panama are incredibly easy.)
Then in 2012, they created an even
easier way to become a resident: simply letting people in.
They called it the Friendly Nations
Visa. And it’s just about the easiest way in the world to obtain
residency in any country.
The list now includes over 40 countries,
including the US, Australia, most European countries, Israel, Japan, Hong Kong,
Korea, Singapore, South Africa, and several Latin American countries.
Citizens of any of these countries can
obtain residency in Panama extremely easily by merely demonstrating
‘economic activity’ in the country.
This doesn’t mean that you
necessarily have to do any business in Panama; you can satisfy this requirement
by registering a Panamanian corporation and making a reasonable deposit at a
local bank.
Conveniently, you can include children
up to the age of 25, disabled relatives, and dependent parents in your
application.
And once you submit your residency
application, you’re free to leave the country and come a few months later
to collect your documents and ID card.
Moreover, you don’t have to
actually live in Panama. You don’t need to maintain a home.
you don’t really need to spend any time
here.
But then again, this is a really great
place to spend time. And there are nonstop flights to cities all over the US,
Canada, Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean, so it’s a great place
to travel from.
Another pleasant thing about Panama is
its territorial tax system.
In other words, Panamanian residents and companies only have to pay local tax on their Panamanian-sourced income.
If you operate a hotel or restaurant
here, you’re going to pay tax. But if you’re an independent
investor or run a business (especially online) that generates income outside of
Panama, you won’t pay a dime.
I know, just imagine—being able to
waltz in here, obtain residency easily, and then have to suffer through a very
high standard of living in a cosmopolitan city while paying no tax. The
horror!
There is a catch, though.
Just like with everything, residency programs are subject to supply and demand dynamics.
Panama’s economy will eventually start to cool off. Real estate prices will get too high. And we’ll hear grumblings about “foreigners driving the prices up.”
It’s inevitable. This program
won’t be around forever.
Here’s the bottom line: having a
second residency makes sense. It’s a great insurance policy to keep in
your back pocket.
After all, if things ever get so bad where you live that you feel like you need to get out of Dodge, you don’t want to start figuring out ‘Where do we go?’ while you’re packing your bags.
Having a plan B makes sense. And a second residency is part of a Plan B—especially when it’s so damn easy to establish.
Panama is a great option to consider. And given that it probably won’t be around forever, I’d definitely encourage you to learn more about it and decide if it’s right for you.
