Panama: Why Timing Matters More Than Ever for Residency

Episode 393 Published 6 months ago

Description

Many people falsely assume residency programs will be there when they’re “ready.” In reality, these programs are always evolving: investment thresholds rise, processes become more complicated, and what was once straightforward becomes harder and more expensive to achieve the same outcome. In today’s episode, my co-host Marc Clair and I break down why Panama is seeing a surge of serious interest right now, what we learned from our recent Fly’n Buy tours, and exactly how the Qualified Investor Visa works through real estate investment. We also explain why acting sooner matters…before a major price rise right around the corner.
