In Panama the retirement age starts at 55 years old for women and 60 years old for men. The Pensionado gives an expat the same benefits as a Panamanian senior citizen. Currently some of the benefits include:

Unlike some countries in Latin America, Panama has deeded beachfront property.

• Bi-annual exemption for importing a new car
• A one-time duty exemption of importing household goods valued at $10,000
• 50% off entertainment, movies, concerts, sports, hotel stays from Monday to Friday
• 30% off bus, boats, and train fares
• 20% off medical consultations, doctor/lab visits, professional and technical services
• 15% off fast-food restaurants, hospital bills (if no insurance applies), eye exams, and dental visits
• 10% off medication

I know no one who moved to Panama from DR but one longtime member (Frank Rectenwald) moved to DR from Panama. He later returned to Europe with his daughter.

What are the residency requirements in Panama? Easier or more difficult/expensive than the DR?

Start by forcing politicians to be honest; declare their income tax,declaring their nepotism, declaring their real wealth before and after.

No one can force others to vote!!!!! People do not vote because they lost confidence in the system.

People leave the country because they lost confidence in the system.

Example:

I invested in DR and want to repair a 4 feet stone wall and was required to:

1-Permit from Ayuntamiento

2--Permit from Muelles

3--Permit from Puertos

4--Permit from Obras Publicas

5-Medio Ambiente

6- Turismo

7--Permit from -Permit from Comando Naval de Capitanias de Puertos y Auroridad Maritima Armada de La republica Dominicana. (They Require all those permits from 1 to 6) including all the individual paper work that I submited to all the 6 previous Agencies)



After they got all those documents they Want a permit from The Executive Branch/Poder Ejecutivo, meaning from the President of the Country., and require that the Medio ambiente certificate be from Santo domingo ( I explained that it is from Santo Domingo, and that Santo Domingo sends it to the province of San Pedro for final Signing and that it has a QR code that verifies it as being issued in Santo Domingo: Still they do not accept it.



8) Signature from Poder Ejecutivo ( In their own documents says that it only applies to a Building project yet they insist in that requirement even for the repair of a little wall.



CORRUPTION IN THE DR HAS NO END.



INVESTORS BEWARE!!!!!!

I know no one who moved to Panama from DR but one longtime member (Frank Rectenwald) moved to DR from Panama. He later returned to Europe with his daughter.

I have lived in both countries for a few years (like one month here, one month there, flying there and back with Copa, having home and car here and there). Back then (in 2010-2014) I liked Panama much more than DR, but then a lot of things have changed, so I sold everything I had in Panama and I live in Santo Domingo full time since then.

But I am not a retiree and not an investor.

it seems to me that here everything is set up to drive people crazy with red tape.
opening a business account required maybe 20 visits to the bank and different places to go only because the manager didnt want to help or do her job.same with trying to cancel a credit card.

many things are designed to waste your time. my wife has more patience than i. i couldnt do it
public schools dont work except for the teachers (who don't))
lots of jobs are politically apointed, so it takes years for people to learn their jobs so if there isca change in govt they get fired and new people come. .
no-one gets fired really (unless it was an election)
it seems like 25% of the population is working for the govt who finds things to do.

How many times are you going to post this? It's getting old.

 

[keepcoming]

Clearly the OP has an issue with the DR based on post #6, they have told us in 3 separate threads.

Actually, it was five. He posted in several threads in the News forum too!

The OP probably made the same amount of effort into getting screwed around in the first place. Are there any other kinds of permits available?
