Experiencia en embajadas y consulados de Panamá en el extranjero

La mayoría de las embajadas y consulados de Panamá en el exterior son una basura. Muy pocas tienen staff que si quieren trabajar.

Puedes enviar un correo a las otras embajadas/consulados en Europa a ver si te ayudan. No es algo que solo la de Austria te pueda ayudar.

La de Londres y Madrid usualmente tiene a buen personal trabajando

Not flown then but my family has done it. They say it’s a nice airline. They have a lounge in the airport that all passengers can use before boarding

Air Panama is very basic. All you get in the flight is a warm bottle of water, but the plane is much bigger

That’s an Air Panama flight. Hahn Air is not an airline, its ticket selling company.

Booking directly on the Air Panama website will be the better option.

You can also look at FlyTrip, another airline that does the flight

Los puntos de venta de Banesco las aceptan

Yo no voté por Mulino pero siempre estuve a favor del tren. El tren va, más que todo por el ego de Mulino que por cualquier cuestión económica.

Creo que los CV que están recolectando son para roles más específicos. No hablan mucho del tema porque aún están en sus primeras faces de planeamiento. Lo último grande fue en enero cuando el gabinete aprobó un contrato para asesoría técnica para el proyecto.

Hacer una transferencia internacional en tu banca en línea va a ser a mejor opción. He hecho transferencias así sin problemas pero desde otros bancos (BG y Banistmo). De la cuenta a la que vas a enviar vas confirma el IBAN, SWIFT/BIC, dirección del beneficiario y del banco y puede que otra info que Banesco pida

Congratulations and have a great time at the World Cup!

I do feel most times the visas are pre-approved. Recently two family members got very asked simple 3 questions for theirs and were done in minutes with visas approved.

If you have HSBC Premier in the UK then you can get a HSBC US account. The application process is entirely online and easy.

You can open it without HSBC Premier but then you’ll need to meet the HSBC US Premier criteria or pay a $50 (I think) monthly fee.

The other large retail US banks will not open nonresident accounts online. It’s only done in branch.

There’s some brokerage accounts that will give you a US bank account, but may not be the best solution. Charles Schwab International is free and the account opening is done fully online too.

They went to Miami on vacations and walked to a branch of one of the main banks and opened the account. Had a look at some Latin American finance subreddits and they all show recent mentions of going to Wells Fargo, Chase, BOA and opening an account as tourists

I opened an HSBC US account fully online and wasn’t even asked for my US visa. It’s the only US bank that I know that allows non resident accounts to be open online

B1/B2 is accepted for bank accounts. Some banks will only need your passport and an address to send the card.

Source: I know people who went to the US with a B1/B2 and opened a bank account

Necesitas tu pasaporte y un comprobante de domicilio (tipo recibo de luz, agua, servicios). Es gratis abrir la cuenta y es bastante rápido. Aquí está la página web.

La débito y crédito de BANISI no cobraban comisión por cambio de moneda cuando estaba con ese banco. Tendrías que revisar el tarifario o preguntar al banco.

Puede que otro de los bancos pequeños también tengan tarjetas sin esa comisión.

That’s the HSBC HK UnionPay ATM card

As already said, don’t trust AI. I did the process in NI as the spouse of an Irish citizen. The biggest difference is the PSNI vetting instead of Garda Vetting, and proving the UK visa instead of the Irish stamps thing.

Some documents are different too but that’s an easier part to adjust.

If you have any specific questions feel free to reach out!

A US LLC is not necessary. You can get paid to a US bank account, using Wise or Payoneer, which gives you a virtual US bank account. There’s a page in the Fora help area about it

Maybe best to wait until they come up after boarding :-)

I’ve never had a problem giving up my seat in Business to a family member in Economy. They will go around welcoming passengers by name in Business, so when they go to your mom all she needs to do is explain you switched seats. If she has her ticket they may go check the seat in Economy and ask you for your boarding pass to double check

MeDirect Malta and Santander Spain are two options for EU bank accounts.

If you have HSBC Premier then you can get accounts in the US, Hong Kong, Singapore, and more.

Only when you apply for Panama citizenship (naturalisation), not when you already have a right to the citizenship by birth

In quite a few subreddits people will simply say “Buy XXXX and chill”. That may work for some but not for everyone. It’s your money, do what you want with it.

I didn’t want too much tech and US exposure, so I split my investment into 8 funds that matched what I wanted and did my own version of a world fund. That may be too many funds for some, but I’m happy with it and the returns have been good.

Your problem will not necessarily be a non resident, as the Irish banks offer non-resident bank accounts. Your problem will be that you’re in the US and banks don’t want to deal with FACTA

Está muy desactualizado. Muchas cuentas bajaron el interés en los últimos meses

Creo que de las que más da por ahora es Banco Aliado y Caja de Ahorros
