If someone wanted to start a business in Chiriqui, what kind of business would be wanted or needed? Ice cream parlor, clothing store, pack and ship? Is there a special need that some one could fill and live in this community?

Retail business cannot be owned by foreign nationals. Consult an attorney and find a Panamanian partner

Comment #2 Jimmy (152.163.37.149) -

Not a good way to encourage foreign investment. What can foreign nationls do business wise in Panama without restriction? Does residency help?

I am a Healthcare Professional

and my Associate and I will be building a “Healthy Longevity SPA” in the Boquete area next year.

I would like to make contact with Expats

interested in Longevity way beyond the age of 80

without the customary degenerative chronic illness / dis-ease,

for the purpose of joining me in my efforts.

We will be growing/raising most of our food on site.

Healthful Regards, ernesto (M.D.)

To Ernesto M.D. - regarding your planned Longevity Spa in Boquete. I am an acupuncturist and herbalist with 13 yrs exp thinking of the possibilities of living and working in Panama, esp Boquete, David etc area.

Oriental Medicine is great for preventing as well as treating the common ailments of old age. Do you plan to have such medicine at your spa?

I would be interested in hearing more about it.

I'm looking into starting an herb farm near Puerto Armuelles. I want to sell herbs to restaurants etc...maybe make perfumes? I guess I'll need a business partner though?

Thank You - Zachery -

This response is to Trudy. Why dont you open a little store that has a little bit of everything you suggested. Like a little gas station without the pumps. A little store that sells food, pop, cigerettes, cigars, alcohol, ect. Stuff that people need/buy everyday. Good luck.

That's a really great way to find out what kind of business would be a success- ask the locals straight out what they need! But why can't foreigners invest in business in Panama? That seems like a stupid rule! Whats the reason behind it?
