Hi

Does anyone have any experiences to share on the process of setting up a banking account?

Can it be done from the UK? Or must one be in Panama to set the account up?

If anyone set up an account when not in Panama, how did you go about this?

If one must be in Panama, what kind of information is required? Will I need an address in Panama? Or is a passport and a foreign address acceptable?

I am looking to move to Panama, but it seems to me that with a bank account ready for me in Panama it would make life a bit easier, especially when I intend to visit for finding the right property.

Many thanks, and hoping you can help,

sincerely,

J.
