In all my 40 years of experience covering the live and retire overseas beat, one country has stood out above all the others.
I named this country the world’s #1 overseas retirement haven for the first time in 2001.
It remains one of the best place in the world to reinvent your life overseas in retirement today… with some caveats.
This country is also…
• A tax haven. As a foreign resident, you can pay zero local tax… and you can operate your business here tax-free, too…
• One of the easiest and most advantaged places in the world to establish residency, thanks to a suite of the world’s best residency options…
• Home to the smartest beach, river, and mountain property buys anywhere on the planet…
• The best place in the world to base your business. I speak from long experience when I tell you that this is an entrepreneur’s playground…
• One place in the world that’s enjoying continued growth and prosperity and that is positioned for a whole lot more of the same over the coming decade…
• A great place to call home… a beach-lover’s delight… and an eco-traveler’s paradise…
• The ultimate escape. Based here, you and your family no longer need to worry about what’s going on in the rest of the world.
Can you guess what country I’m talking about?
I’ve been making the case for the Hub of the Americas for more than 20 years, and I’m writing today to tell you that I’m more bullish on the opportunities and upsides on offer in Panama than ever before.
Bottom line, if you are in the market for a place to live, retire, invest, or do business overseas, you’re doing yourself a big disservice if you aren’t looking closely at this little isthmus.
Too much of the world is struggling through troubled and uncertain times right now, but you’d never know it in Panama. This remains a fast-moving, ever-expanding market… a land of opportunity… and an ultimate safe haven.
How can a country so small bring so much to the table?
Over our decades in Panama, Lief and I have bought pre-construction for investment and centuries-old French-colonial for renovation…
We’ve managed rentals, both tourist and commercial…
We’ve bought land for banking and for development, including on this country’s Veraguas coast where we’re developing a luxury beachfront community at Los Islotes.
We’ve also started businesses, formed corporations, and opened bank accounts…
We’ve established permanent residency…
We’ve hired staff, shipped household belongings, sourced architects and carpenters, paid local bills, researched health insurance options, bought cars (because we finally had enough of dealing with Panama City taxi drivers!), gotten local driver’s licenses, even started a local franchise…
And our experiences in this tropical haven are only the beginning.
We have enormous depth and breadth of experience in Panama… but our perspective is only that—our perspective.
To form a full picture of the opportunities on offer for living, retiring, investing, and doing business in Panama, you should access many perspectives.
Which is exactly why you should come and join us in Panama in January.
There, my top in-country experts, contacts, colleagues, and friends will be unveiling decades of boots-on-the-ground real-world experience as well as every exciting opportunity we’ve uncovered in this booming little isthmus.
These are my trusted personal advisors on every aspect of making a move or an investment in this country… from taxes, banking, trusts, and corporations to health care, residency requirements, investor incentives, business ideas, financing, and insurance. People you can count on to help you accomplish whatever you’re hoping to accomplish in this country safely and efficiently.
They’ll be fully at the disposal of those who join us for this very special event.
And there’s more good news…
To make our 2027 event the biggest and best yet, I’ve asked my team to help me create opportunities for you to discover Panama firsthand.
Specifically, we’ve conceived five fun ways for you to get to know Panama including an invitation to come and explore my personal Panama paradise, Los Islotes (more on that, here) and a five-day, four-night Relocation Discovery Tour of Panama’s top coastal lifestyle options (get the full program here). Plus, property tours, VIP excursions, and of course, the main event: my Live And Invest In Panama Conference.
I can’t wait to welcome you to Panama.
Until next time,
