How can I register a company in Panama as an investor?
I want to apply for Panama residency through its residency-by-investment program. Then I want to register my company here to enjoy the beneficial tax regime of the country. What are the procedures of registering a company in Panama? Can I initiate this process right after I become a resident of the country, or do I need to wait for a certain period of time?

You may register your Panamanian company even prior to your arrival, actually one of our residency programs requires you to incorporate a company and invest at least $160,000 in it.
