  • “Why Panama?” I get this question every day, especially in a world where the word “expat” 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 year’s 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 you’ll hear at this year’s Summit. And don’t worry—I never do the same presentation twice, so you’ll get all new content at this year’s Expat Money Summit. TODAY’S 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. It’s 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 Panama’s many residency options and which pathway we chose (an option that is, unfortunately, no longer available.) Is Panama safe? Find out what it’s like living here, how the country respects the rule of law, and whether you can legally own a gun here. Lastly, you’ll hear what it’s 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 can’t 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 Salvador’s potential for expats.  TODAY’S EL SALVADOR TRIP REPORT: Hear about the good (I’m still thinking about the pupusas!), the bat (that’s not a typo
), 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 “free passports,” as he proclaimed in a tweet? Hear what my El Salvadoran insiders had to say. How does the proposed $1 million “Freedom Visa” 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 Salvador’s 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.

  • Javier Milei has been the talk of freedom-oriented expat circles since the libertarian firebrand was elected president of Argentina last year. Today, I am joined by Skot Sheller, who has been following Milei’s work for years and is himself pursuing Argentinian citizenship. Enjoy today’s discussion as Skot and I look at what Javier Milei has really accomplished so far, the opposition he faces from within Argentina, and the broader implications for freedom across Latin America and the world. TODAY’S CONVERSATION WITH SKOT SHELLER Discover how Skot first became fascinated not just with Argentina but with its history and politics. How did Argentina wind up with an anarcho-capitalist as President after decades of socialism? Skot lays out how Milei maneuvered his way into the Presidency. Learn how the black market completely managed the exchange of dollars and pesos in Argentina when the government proved unreliable. Uncover the reasons why, despite concerns about de-dollarization, the dollar is still seen as a safe haven compared to many Latin American currencies. Can Javier Milei really go after the Argentinian central bank? Skot breaks down the odds that he can deliver on his intentions to close the central bank entirely. Find out what departments Milei was able to cut immediately - you won’t believe some of the “Ministries” that the Argentine government was funding! Hear Skot break down the challenges Milei faces from within his own government - and why it’s not inconceivable that he could even be impeached. Would I recommend Argentina as a Plan-B location due to Milei’s Presidency? Hear what I’m telling my clients who have been asking me about it. Should people be concerned that Milei has spoken at the World Economic Forum? Skot and I discuss the circumstances and content of his WEF speeches. An Argentinian alliance with NATO? Skot and I look beyond the headlines to decipher what this really means.
