Setting up a bank account in Panama
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.

Hi Zog,

There have been some very detailed explanations of the requirements for setting up bank accounts in a number of different posts here. Rather than list them all for you, just go to the "Search" link at the top of this page and enter "bank accounts" . You'll find lots of help there from others on this forum.

Enjoy your reading....

Hi

Yes, I have seen the threads in the search. Thanks.

But there seems to be a lot of confusion about what ID is required. I can set up a UK offshore account easily enough that can be in dollars. Has anybody done this as an alternative?

If anyone has any experience of setting up an account when not in Panama I would be interested to know their experiences.

Many thanks.

J.

There are many attorney's in Panama that can complete the same task Panamaoffshorelegal is offering. I always advise to check with more than one attorney.
