You get vetted local partners and practical on-the-ground support — from arrival to long-term setup — so you can move with confidence, not guesswork.

Step 2- We Map Your Path

We recommend residency options, first landing areas, and key first actions (like banking).

Step 3 - You Land Prepared

Warm introductions. Clear next steps. When you arrive, you’re not guessing and you’re not alone.

What We Do For You

We’re an advisory + introductions platform. We’re not a law firm, a bank, or a real estate agency. We help you move intelligently and meet the right people.
Company Setup, Work Permit & Banking Support

Guidance on opening a Panama bank account and forming a Panama company (S.A. / LLC-style/ Foundation). Understand compliance, taxes, and how to do it right.

Where to Live / Cost of Living

Panama City, Coronado, Boquete, El Valle — all totally different lifestyles and price points. We match you to the right area for safety, comfort, and budget.

Relocation & Residency Support

Panama Explorer follows a clear, step-by-step process to identify the right path for you:

  • Which residency option do you realistically qualify for (Friendly Nations, Pensionado, etc.)?

  • Which documents do you need, and in what order?

  • How long does the process actually take from start to finish?

We give you straight answers — and connect you with trusted, vetted immigration partners who can execute your residency legally and efficiently.

Healthcare & Insurance Navigation

Before you rent or buy, we help you understand rental contracts rental demand, livability, realistic returns, and red flags.

Panama Landing Package

We make your first 72 hours in Panama calm and easy, not chaotic.

Airport pickup, local eSIM, short-term housing options, safety and area briefing, a guided neighbourhood orientation, and assist in opening a personal bank account, so you know where to live (and where not to).

You land prepared — not guessing
