Dear forum members,
Firstly, welcome to all the members here - I think some of You can give us useful informations about moving to Panama from the EU.
We are planning our move this summer (before that we'll visit Panama city and Coronado for 1-2 weeks), our goal is to rent a house or flat, besides that a smaller commercial property and do our own business - bakery or a small restaurant are in the first place. We have two children, age of 14 (leaving primary school this summer) and 16.
My topic opening questions are:
- What are the necessary steps to do in the first place to get residency and permit opening our small business?
-Do we have any qualification or special permit for opening a restaurant or bakery or just simply establish the company with my wife and start it?
- May we allowed to have one or two EU citizens employed in our company? We'll also work in it, of course.
- How can we enroll the children into new school? They are starting to learn some Spanish now, so they'll have only a basic knowledge of the language (I think it won't be a real problem as they'll get along with it an learn fast in that environment).
I think these questions will do for the first time - waiting for Your kind replies, thank You!
