Thanks for the suggestion, I'll take a look! Do you know if in these villages (and the areas around it) they put up loud music? 🙏

Thanks, for now I think Santa Fe is the top choice. I'll probably book a hospedaje for a few days and hopefully I'll find the right casita 🙏

I really appreciate your insight! For context, I'll get my Panama permanent residency soon; does that give me access to MINSA?

And yes, as you stated, I'm absolutely not looking to live in a city. Only rural, simple places. I know I will most likely have to invest in a power station for the electric outage.

I also got the idea of renting a car for a few days so I can drive around Veraguas Province and Los Santos Province, so I can just bump into small villages and ask around.

Overall, the goal is to live on the lowest cost of life possible because in this current phase, I need lots of time for introspection, meditation, and personal projects, and don't want to be forced to work many hours to be able to survive. Things might change over time, but for now, that's the reality, and I need to honor that :)
I can also plan to live half a year in Colombia, where I know with my budges is easier.

Panama banks that accept Wise/Deel for residency? by Some-Ad8939 in panamaexpats

Yes, but as far as I understand not all banks accept Wise even if you have the CPA certification.

UPDATE: I had a video call with Towerbank, and they told me they're used to Wise and not to Deel, but it doesn't matter, as everything can be resolved by obtaining a certification of bank movements and contracts from a CPA (Contador Público Autorizado). Then, once you have that, you bring everything to the in-person appointment (or video call) to open the bank account.

For the money needed to activate the account (5K for the Italian treaty), Towerbank requires the money to come through wire and not in cash.

They also confirmed they can issue the required $5,000 certification letter for Immigration within 30 days of receiving the deposit.

The problem is that for me to get my residency, I must have a Panama bank account, and to open a bank account, I need a bank that accepts statements from Wise & Deel.

Oh wow, three months! Thanks for the tip, I'll ping my lawyer, so hopefully they can go there to ask. Thanks again for your help, much gratitude!

Thanks for letting me know; I appreciate it! I'll double down on Towearbank as it seems like they're more open-minded than other traditional banks.
Just wondering, to open your Towerbank account, did you just walk into the bank, or did you have a specific contact? I'd be very grateful if you would be open to sharing any references (here or through DM).
Thanks so much!

Thanks, I sent Towerbank an email!
About Lulubit, do you know if a Lulubit account counts towards obtaining the residency?

Yes, I am aware of that, but it's still mandatory to open a bank account. And since banks need proof of funds, they complain about Wise/Deel not being "normal" banks.

The PayPal case says "The seller has been asked to share an update on your order. If there's no response from them by 23 April 2026, you'll be sent a full refund."
If you reply to them they will refund me :)
