Qualifying real estate opportunities
The developments in the programme and what makes a purchase count towards residency.
The facts from the people who file
A licensed US Enrolled Agent and the developer's own team, live, with your questions answered on the call.
Your options and the real timelines
Which route fits, how long each stage takes, and what has to happen in what order.
What you will learn in the hour
Panama, properly. The route, the property and the order to do things in.
01
Why people move to Panama
A dollar economy, a territorial tax system that leaves foreign income alone, and the practical side: banking, schools, healthcare and flights.
02
What the Qualified Investor Visa gives you
Permanent residency on the first application, a Panamanian cédula, and your family on the same file.
03
How to qualify through real estate
The investment threshold, the five-year hold, and the difference between a finished home and a pre-construction purchase.
04
The Punta Pacifica programme
What buying in one of the three selected developments includes, and who does what between the developer, the firm and the Panamanian government.
05
What happens next
One point of contact, one short call, and a clear list of the documents you will be asked for.

Before you register
- Is the webinar free?
- Yes. Register with your name and email and the joining link arrives by email. There is nothing to buy to attend.
- Will there be a recording?
- Yes. Everyone who registers receives the recording by email after the session, whether or not they attend live.
- Who is it for?
- Americans and Canadians thinking about a home in Panama, whether or not they have started looking. If you already own here, the residency section and the questions will still be worth the hour.
- Do I need to have chosen a property?
- No. The session explains the route first and the developments second. Nobody is asked to commit to anything on the call.
- Is this legal or tax advice?
- No. It is general information. Whether a route works for you depends on your facts, which is what the follow-up call is for. Rothbard Group is not a law firm; its services remain within corporate and tax advisory.
