Foreign Residency, Dual Citizenship

The Other Key To Making Your Retire Overseas Dreams Come True

July 1, 2010, Panama City, Panama: After cost of living and housing, the question of foreign residency options is a key one to consider as you make your retire-overseas plans.

Dear Live and Invest Overseas Reader, 

After cost of living and housing, the question of foreign residency options is a key one to consider as you make your retire-overseas plans. 

The truth is, not every country welcomes foreign residents or retirees, and, in those that do, the requirements for qualifying for residency status vary greatly. Furthermore, some countries (for example, Panama) offer many different options for establishing permanent residency.

Dual Nationality And Second Passports

Why Would You Want A Second Passport?

June 30, 2010, Panama City, Panama: Holding a second passport has many advantages and benefits, including the right to live, work, and invest more freely.

Dear Live and Invest Overseas Reader, 

Years ago, when I was just starting out covering this beat, I encountered a headline that has stuck with me: 

"Why Would You Want A Second Passport?" 

At the time, I wondered myself. Why would anyone need or want a second passport? 

Today, I understand.

Zero Interest Financing To Own On Panama's Most Beautiful Beach

June 29, 2010, Los Islotes, Panama: Own at Los Islotes on Panama's Azuero Sunset Coast with only 20% down and zero-interest payments over 40 months.

Dear Live and Invest Overseas Reader, 

In this age of tight credit, developers are getting creative, making financing offers intended to make the buy decision easier. I've worked with at least a half-dozen developers over the past few months to conceive financing packages that have, in every case, yielded very positive outcomes, for both the developer and the buyer.

Now I'm taking my own advice.

I'm writing today to alert you to the opportunity now to own at my Los Islotes community on Panama's Azuero Sunset Coast with only 20% down and zero-interest payments over 40 months.

In Praise Of The Efficient Market (And How To Survive Without One)

June 28, 2010, Panama City, Panama: In a real estate market without a Multiple Listing Service, you must meet with as many local real estate agents as possible to get any idea what’s really available for sale.

Dear Live and Invest Overseas Reader, 

I attended a real estate committee meeting of the American Chamber of Commerce of Panama earlier this month. One of the subjects discussed was the formal implementation of a multiple listing service in Panama. 

More and more countries or regions are attempting this--to put in place a multiple listing service (MLS). Functional MLS's operate in Buenos Aires, Roatan in Honduras, and in some localized markets within Mexico. I've seen an MLS in Spain, too, but I wouldn't call it functional.

Make Your Own Simple, Sweet Reality In Belize

June 27, 2010, Chaa Creek, Belize: Belize's Cayo District is a frontier land of opportunity.

"We make our own reality. This life, here in the Cayo of Belize, this is the reality we choose to make." 

-- Mick Fleming, Proprietor, Chaa Creek Lodge, Cayo, Belize

Dear Overseas Opportunity Letter Reader, 

Mick Fleming is a larger-than-life character, a Brit who, more than 30 years ago, with US$600 in his pocket, made his way to Belize City, where he met a guy in a bar who owned a piece of land in the jungle he was interested in selling. Mick bought, thinking he'd try his luck as a farmer. The farming was tough going, but, in time, Mick identified another opportunity. Travelers were beginning to find their way to this remote region. They'd happen upon Mick and ask if he had a place where they could spend the night.

Readers Say

"I have to say that you seem to dig deeper into the feel of a particular place and to do comparative analysis between alternative places. Your approach is more sophisticated and thoughtful and therefore more useful than that of other information sources covering these same subjects."

— John W., United States
