Want to retire at 18? Panama might be the place for youWritten by Sydney Tremayne
Continued from page 1 The immigration process must be started before you leave your home country. Once you arrive in Panama as a tourist, you will be able to stay for up to 90 days. This can be extended for a further 90 days if needed. Qualifying for permanent residence takes from 30 to 60 days, depending on time of year and availability of certain key immigration officials. Given all public holidays, November and December are good months to avoid. Although not required, it will be helpful for you to obtain letters of good standing from your bank or banks and any other financial institutions. Do not close your bank accounts. You will need at least one, and preferably two, open bank accounts somewhere in world before you will be able to open an account here. Also, keep at least some credit cards. Getting credit cards in a new country ranges from difficult to impossible. One bank here, HSBC, offered writer a card with a $5,000 credit limit provided $10,000 was placed on deposit. Finally, go to your local automobile association and get an international driver’s license. Your own license is good here for 90 days, but there is no limit on an international license. (Expect lots of puzzled looks from local traffic police as they thumb through multi-page document written in several languages.)
