What would happen if you flew into Tocuman? I don't think they're looking for border hoppers there and also, how could they deny you entry when you're already standing on Panamanian soil.

I think that's what I would do.

It's a gamble Penny.they could stick me on a plane to London.then I am really in a mess

And i heard that the have people stuck at Tocumen also denied entry.

We are now stuck in Nicaragua,due in part to a whole host of things,non more it seems than my own stupidity according to many wise individuals.and in no way connected to or aided by Panama and it's legal system.

So if there are any lowlife parasites like me stupid enough to buy property in Panama without been a resident ,be abit careful you may end up cut off and cast into the wilderness of the land of "persona non Grata".even though you have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in the place noand still not 100% that Panama is Nirvana.

All I want to do is get back and sort out our own personal problems. And take of the monkeys.

Thanks

We just crossed the border to renew our visa's. We WERE asked for our proof of airline return tickets. It seems as though Panama is headed were Equador is in relation to expat retiries. In Equador (we were there recently for two months) you get 90 days in a year (total). No border hopping. You can get another 90 day extension but it is not cheap and still retires the FBI background paper work along with all the rest of the paperwork. Or you can get the one year renewable which will cost when all is said and done about 2k per person. I think these folks are shooting them selves in the foot as many like us do not want to or have not yet decided if we want to stay in a paticular country indefinantly. Mexico was much easier. When we were living northern Costa Rica we talked to many expats that owned property and were chosing to sell (lot's of discount condo's in Coco beach) and leave the country due to these new laws as well as increasing taxation in Costa Rica. We will be leaving and if we ever decide to come back this will have to be a consideration. We are thinking Europe. This is going to cost Panama lot's. Just saying

Wise move.

I don't want to live here and I was booked out on the 1st of May.

we can't get back now .so we have five days in Costa Rica. well done Panama. good way to encourage investors.
