I'm still researching this, but in my research came across something interesting. My wife is Italian, and therefore qualifies for the
Panama-Italy Treaty which means she can receive Permanent Residency and an E-Cedula from Panama for opening a company and
bank account in Panama without the need to reside in Panama. Additionally, she can qualify for
Citizenship after holding the E-Cedula for 5 years (without residing in Panama). I know that Panama is a Territorial Tax Country, so effectively all Foreign-Sourced Income would be Tax-Free. I'm guessing this could be similar to
Hong Kong but with the added benefit of the Permanent Residency and possible Citizenship after 5 years.
I'm not as familiar with Panamanian Banking, but the bank account would be for paying employees (my wife and myself) and paying into other foreign accounts (
investments).
If you don't mind, could you give your initial thoughts?
