New Panama Relocation Program Touts Residency, Tax Planning and Business Support

What Happened

Inter Commerce Consulting has launched Open Horizon, a relocation and advisory program aimed at entrepreneurs, digital nomads and retirees moving to Panama. The service is designed to guide clients through residency, tax planning, real estate and business setup in the country.

The program is being positioned as a single point of contact for people who want to establish a legal and financial foothold in Panama while reducing the complexity that can come with an international move.

How the Program Works

Open Horizon focuses on three main areas: residency and legal security, tax and wealth strategy, and business expansion and logistics. The residency component highlights several common pathways in Panama, including the Friendly Nations Visa, the Pensionado visa for retirees and the Digital Nomad Visa.

The company says the service includes bilingual legal support and document oversight to help clients stay on track with paperwork such as criminal record checks and translations. It also includes assistance with tax residency planning and corporate structuring for people seeking to make use of Panama’s territorial tax system.

Panama’s Role in the Offer

Panama has long attracted foreigners for its geographic position, banking access and logistics infrastructure. The country’s Free Trade Zones, including the Colón Free Zone and Panama Pacifico, are often used by companies involved in re-export and regional trade.

Open Horizon is also promoting settling-in support for clients choosing neighborhoods in Panama City or moving to areas such as Boquete. The program includes help with healthcare navigation and local banking setup, reflecting the practical challenges that often come with relocation.

Why It Matters

Relocation programs like Open Horizon are part of a broader market built around Panama’s appeal to foreign residents and international businesses. For many newcomers, the attraction lies in combining a lower-tax environment with access to Latin American and global markets.

The launch also underscores Panama’s continued status as a hub for legal, logistics and advisory services tied to mobility and business formation. For entrepreneurs and retirees alike, the promise is a smoother transition into the country’s residency and commercial systems.

Inter Commerce Consulting is headquartered in Panama City and says the program is intended to support both personal relocation and business expansion through one advisory structure.
