Why Panama – Immigration and IRS

These are the 2 issues non-US citizens should be most concerned about when considering The Valley as their business location. Seriously.

First, getting a green card or visa or citizenship really means some effort and is time-consuming. This why even cruise ships are considered, out in the North Pacific Ocean, to accommodate workforce and work around the immigration problem.

Once you’ve got your immigration status, you’ll become a US tax resident, even with a non-resident visa under circumstances. The rules are complicated and execution appears to be harsh.

Based on that, US citizens and even visa holders are not welcome in banks around the globe anymore, meaning special non-preferred treatment and extra costs.

With a permanent visa or as US citizen, you’ll never stop reporting to Uncle Sam your world-wide income, every year to come.  Think about it.

How does it work in Panama? Tranquilo!
