About PNO

My Ten Year Anniversary: Reflections on Professional Growth and Lessons Learned

Welcome to PANAMA NOW ONLINE.
To mark our "10th" YEAR of being a LOUD, CONSISTENT, and RELIABLE source of News, Culture, and Insight for PANAMANIAN EX-PATS, we have expanded our presence considerably.
What started as a "S- - - -Y little blog" as stated by some local fraudsters, has become even more relevant during the past decade.

Our mission is CLEAR. Through trial and error as well as establishing a network of reliable sources, we seek to be THE SOURCE for Due Diligence, Planning, and Up to Date News for INCOMING EX-PATS as well as those already present here.

PANAMA is beautiful, cost effective, filled with culture, and very close in proximity to the UNITED STATES and CANADA. We are consistently listed as one of the most desirable locales on the planet for RETIREMENT options.

However, this opportunity is also ripe with LANDMINES and COMMON MISTAKES that can lead to headaches and financial loss beyond imagination.
PNO- aims to be the guide and shepherd to assist our readers, visitors, and contributors through the issues we have seen occur in time and time again.

We encourage EDITORIAL CONTRIBUTIONS via the site through ( jb@panamanowonline.com ) or via our Instagram Imágenes transparentes PNG, imágenes, fotos INSTAGRAM platform at
"jbpno2026" as a means to open up a myriad of topics for all to comment on.

Thank you for visiting THEN, NOW, and in the FUTURE.

Saludos y Hasta la Proxima Vez
"JB"
