Hello, hope you had/are having a wonderful time in Panama. Rosalind Baitel was at the conference as an expat speaker, she is not a tour guide. Generally expat speakers participate in IL conferences to talk abut their full and enriching lives as expats. They do not sell real estate or offer tours. In your conference materials you have contact information for Pangea's RETA concierge who can help answer questions about neighborhoods and real estate and put you in contact with brokers who offer tours. Generally speaking you'll spend upwards of $900 a month for an apartment like that in a nice neighborhood in Pamama City and in the city electric is usually billed separately. Happy apartment hunting!

Your response was so helpful - thank you very much!

Hi Don and Yvonne,
To aswer you question I would need a lot more information. Are you asking about income tax, property tax, corporate tax, etc.? Are you looking for a tax expert in Spain? I would like to answer better, but I need a more specific question with details.

Regards,
Sally

Currently Canadian citizens can visit Panama as tourists for up to 180 days without any special visa. It's a good idea to make sure each person's passport has over a year left on it if you're coming down for a six month stay.

(Good rule of thumb for travel to any country: make sure your passport has more than 6 months left before it expires.)

Panama is a popular destination for tourists and expats because it's generally safe and prosperous, you can read lots more more about it in International Living magazine (visit www.InternationalLiving.com, log in/click "members site" to search the archive).
