Hi.
I'm considering "retirement" to Panama, Costa Rica, Belize or Ecuador. Panama seems the most attractive.
Currently I have guaranteed income from two sources that is just $2 a month less than the minimum required monthly amount in Panama.
I'm a writer and photographer and have reliable ways of earning other income via the Internet.
Is it ever possible to get an exception/waiver on the minimum income requirement when one is that close? By next year, the amounts will increase for at least one of my guaranteed income sources, but for a variety of reasons I'd like to make a move before that if possible.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi, RealAlaskan1- For immigration/residency/pensionado requirements in Panama, I strongly suggest u consult a trusted
Panamanian lawyer. "Word of mouth" is good way to begin search. Ask other expats to refer their lawyers. Residency/
immigration policies r always subject to change & u need the
most updated info available to make an informed decision. I will return to Panama 20 Jan 2011 to establish my pensionado
residency, granted March 2009. I have a fine Panamanian lawyer
who did great work for me at reasonable prices. Best of luck in your endeavors.
Informatively, beacon

Hi, I read your post... and would like to ask if you can share the name of your lawyer. I'm also short of the required minimum.
Thanks,
