âWhy Panama?â I get this question every day, especially in a world where the word âexpatâ is still often associated with countries like the UAE, Portugal, Singapore, and others. It was not an easy decision, and it was not one my wife and I took lightly. When we decided to leave the UAE several years ago, we spent countless hours debating the pros and cons of several countries before deciding on Panama.Since I get this question so often, I decided that this week, I would share with you a presentation I gave at last yearâs Expat Money Summit, in which I lay out all the reasons we settled on Panama as our home base. This will also help give you an idea of the flavour of some of the presentations youâll hear at this yearâs Summit. And donât worryâI never do the same presentation twice, so youâll get all new content at this yearâs Expat Money Summit. TODAYâS EPISODE ON WHY I CHOSE PANAMA AS MY HOME BASE: Tune in to hear me first lay out the good, the bad and the ugly of the UAE and why we decided to search for another home country. Listen in to hear about the most pleasant experience one could ever have losing a wallet when I lost mine in a taxi in the UAE. Hear me compare the stark differences in both the cost and quality of food between the UAE and Panama. Learn about Panama's very favourable tax situation, a big factor for many expats looking to protect their hard-earned wealth. Itâs not all about numbers. Discover all you need to know about the lifestyle in Panama and why it suits our family so well. What about the visa options? Learn about Panamaâs many residency options and which pathway we chose (an option that is, unfortunately, no longer available.) Is Panama safe? Find out what itâs like living here, how the country respects the rule of law, and whether you can legally own a gun here. Lastly, youâll hear what itâs been like living in Panama City and why this Latin American metropolis has become such a hub for expats.

It seems like every day, a Private Client or subscriber to our newsletter asks me about El Salvador. I canât say I necessarily blame them; with everything Bukele has done, from turning around the violent crime situation to legalizing Bitcoin, there are plenty of reasons for expats to take an interest in the direction of this emerging Latin American country. But having not been to El Salvador myself for twenty-some-odd years, I decided to take a long weekend trip down there to meet up with a few business contacts and check out how things had progressed since I had last hitchhiked through it as a much younger man. This episode is my full report from the trip and my thoughts on El Salvadorâs potential for expats. TODAYâS EL SALVADOR TRIP REPORT: Hear about the good (Iâm still thinking about the pupusas!), the bat (thatâs not a typoâŠ), and the ugly of my hotel and Airbnb stays in El Salvador. Listen in for the inside scoop on some of the quite frankly terrible things I learned about El Salvador for expats, which mostly centers around the unfavourable tax situation. What about the visas? Tune in as I discuss all the available options for expats to live legally in El Salvador. Is Bukele really going to be giving out 5,000 âfree passports,â as he proclaimed in a tweet? Hear what my El Salvadoran insiders had to say. How does the proposed $1 million âFreedom Visaâ stack up to other regional citizenship-by-investment programs? Hear my thoughts on this pricey offer. What about company structures? I dissect whether El Salvador could be a viable option for forming offshore companies. How does El Salvadorâs banking system stack up to its neighbours? Discover what I learned about finance in the nation. Lastly, hear my final analysis of whether El Salvador could serve as a potential Plan-B destination for expats.
