[@prettyflytraveler]

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.

[@dugfriendly]

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?

[@janellemcleod]

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

You said the pensioner visa will not give you a work permit. Does that mean that you cannot work? Or have a job through a work from anywhere remote job digital job?

So where does Social Security fit in here? Is it considered a government pension?

[@Manny_Boston]

Yes, social security is considered as pension in Panama. Someone asked the same question in the audience and the lady said it's acceptable.

[@LFG22124]

Oh, thanks,@@Manny_Boston. I didn't hear that, but I haven't gotten through the entire video.

Actually it is the standard bearer.

[@rondamon4408]

Cool! Willing to go there

[@kathycarter1421]

Great information.

Great presentation! Do I need my birth certificate to apply for a Panama residency for me? Thanks!

[@ahmadmustakhimabdmutalib59]

Rainelda, can forengners buy panamas land, for crop like corn 😊

[@grahamgisby]

How can I get in contact with Reinelda please?

[@anthonyscott5210]

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.

[@WolfF2022]

I heared there is a further option, to create a business.

[@BC19572]

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

[@albaptist3385]

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

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

[@buzzselous3757]

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]

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? 🌎

[@buzzselous3757]

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

[@azerko]

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.

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 ?

Is lifetime Military disability payments considered pension?

[@theladysplace]

Yes, a friend who is mid thirty has this and she qualify for pensionado visa

[@ronicmwest]

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.

[@angelstar7656]

An FBI report is a criminal history background check. Anybody can get one. People most often get them when they start a new job, when they're working with kids, and people can request them on their own for various reasons. Just Google getting a criminal history background check. Btw, if you work for a small company and have a good relationship with your HR person or the staff member that does the hiring paperwork, ask them if they can give you the information for running a background check. Or ask them if they can run a background check for you. Companies which do a lot of hiring usually have subscription to the system so that they don't have to pay for each background check which could be costly for them.

[@angelstar7656]

Btw, there are various groups that offer relocation tours...black expats in Panama and Panama relocation tours are the two I follow although there are others. Also, your docs need to be authenticated; the process for doing that in the USA is the apostille process. A notary public who provides this service can tell you more about it.

[@ronicmwest]

@angelstar7656 back ground checks and FBI back ground is two different things. If it is just a normal back ground. I can do that but FBI . I will have to research

[@ronicmwest]

@angelstar7656 thanks I will check out. I was looking heavy at Mexico and been scouting. But someone suggested that I check out Panama

[@ronicmwest]

@angelstar7656 ok great notary is easy. The terminology is tripping me up. I built two non profits so getting DOCs notarized is a common routine. Thanks for the advice.

Panama has never struck me as an interesting country.

[@Kano_Jig]

I agree but they sure make it very easy to become a resident. That alone is interesting.

[@SenorJuan2023]

@@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.

[@SenorJuan2023]

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