This year, we've been lucky to attend several international conferences on Mundo’s favorite topics. A few weeks ago, Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, welcomed us with arms wide open, showing us its futuristic face and its potential. When our CEO came back from this trip, she was marveled at what she had found, so we decided to write a series of articles comparing Dubai with our favorite jurisdiction in the Americas: Panama. 

Across time and space, stories interconnect. We can learn from past events and even more from relevant people who have left a footprint in posterity. Since Mundo is closely connected to Panama both in business and personally, we can't overlook a person who, more than a hundred years ago, chose Panama as the first stop in a profound spiritual journey. This person was the French painter Paul Gauguin.

Panama has become a destination where investment meets comfort and long-term stability. For those interested in its immigration process, the country offers transparent rules, clear procedures, and flexible opportunities. Some people dream of a home by the ocean, while others seek a way to preserve capital and secure their family’s future. Among various residency options, two programs stand out. 

Panama City is where tropical landscapes meet modern skylines. Towering glass buildings rise by the Pacific, while the energy of the streets blends with the calm rhythm of the coastline. The latest trends in real estate are closely connected to short-term rental, which is why, at Mundo, we’ve decided to explore the best places to stay in Panama that tourists usually love.

The world map is covered with shades of blue, yet only a few places make time stand still. Among them lies a tranquil world where mangroves meet coral reefs, and silence carries the rhythm of the sea: this is Zapatilla, Bocas del Toro. When exploring archipelagos in the Caribbean, this corner of Panama reveals rare harmony — a place where nature and daily life coexist in quiet perfection. Bocas del Toro has its own heartbeat — colonial echoes in wooden balconies, slow mornings filled with the sound of waves, and a sense of open space where life flows with the tide. The province attracts those who seek calm, warm water, and access to modern comfort. It’s a balance that speaks clearly, offering opportunities for projects built on respect for nature. 

By constantly finding new opportunities, we can help readers achieve their goals and find what they're looking for in the financial or investment sphere. We're proud of what we do because we can dive into our favorite topics while connecting people with people: investors with projects, buyers with real estate, and business people with the possibility to incorporate structures or open bank accounts. Today, we touch upon a topic that can be of use to understand an outstanding opportunity in Panama: land concession and its disadvantages when compared to titled land. Property laws vary according to the country, the state, and the region; however, certain rules can be applied in general. 

Have you ever dreamed of becoming part of history? In Panama, such a dream has an address — Casco Viejo. This historic quarter of narrow cobblestone streets and sunlit balconies carries the soul of centuries. Each façade whispers stories of the past, and every corner still reflects the spirit of the city’s colonial days. Here, owning a property becomes a way to preserve a living legacy and to serve as a guardian of heritage. Casco Viejo, the old heart of Panama City, belongs to the historical places protected by UNESCO. The district’s architecture: iron balconies, intricate stucco, and shaded courtyards, forms a living museum of culture and artistry. 

Panama is a place where the sun rises early and everything happens at the right moment. Every step here feels exciting in a cosmopolitan environment, close to fantastic ocean views, and in a place filled with opportunities. Those who want to retire here can count on The Pensionado Program, designed for those who seek a straightforward path to residency. Today, we delve into the process and explore how long does it take to obtain a visa in Panama. Every big change begins with intention. Once the decision is made, the first stage starts: preparing the required paperwork for legal compliance. At this stage, your case goes through legal and compliance review. 

At Mundo, we are constantly searching for the latest news and changes in the CBI industry. In the past few months, we have witnessed our well-known programs tightening their requirements while strengthening monitoring and due diligence. Along the way, we have seen other players, usually not associated with CBI, rising against an ever-changing and unpredictable panorama. After such changes, a visa to the United States may come through a new initiative called the Platinum Card, and at Mundo, we thought it would be interesting to analyze it. 2025 is not over yet, and still, it is full of surprises. 

When you first arrive in Panama City, the skyline feels alive, shimmering with reflections of light. The city’s rhythm is unlike any other; its mornings are filled with energy, and its evenings glow with the feeble lights of the streets. Every district carries a different heartbeat, and discovering the best neighborhoods to stay in Panama City, Panama becomes an exploration of contrasts, modern towers and colonial charm, busy avenues and peaceful corners. Somewhere among these shifting scenes lies the balance that makes life here feel complete. Panama City is a living collage of stories.
