Absolutely. Foreign investors can purchase Titled or Right Of Possession (ROP) properties in Panama without the hassle of opening a bank account. This is due to Panama Law 54, which grants foreign investors the same rights and freedoms as Panamanian natives. Additionally, investors are given the right to dispose of their investment profits and repatriate their interest, dividends, and gains.
The property you have selected to purchase has the potential to serve as your ideal retirement home, an investment property, or a business. Suppose the property is titled and considered "Family Patrimony" (law 66). In that case, you will be eligible for a property tax exemption on the first US$120,000.00 of the property's registered value in the National Registry. You can learn more about this subject by reading our blog on this topic.
