Residency programs rarely become easier, cheaper, or less restrictive over time. Across Latin America, we are already seeing new investment thresholds, tighter documentation requirements, processing delays, and limits on who can qualify.
In today’s episode, my co-host Marc Clair and I break down the latest residency developments in Panama, Paraguay, and Costa Rica, and explain why those considering a Plan-B need to take action while today’s options are still available.
IN TODAY’S EPISODE
- Tune in as Marc and I break down the latest changes affecting Panama’s Qualified Investor Visa
- Find out what Paraguay’s tightening residency rules may signal about its current “no investment” residency option
- Listen in to learn why Costa Rica presents such a compelling opportunity for freedom-seeking expats right now
- Hear my predictions on where these residency programs are headed next
