Working as a freelancer in Panama

Hi,

A lot of expats dream of becoming self-employed: we would like to help you to make that dream come true.

Can foreigners work as self-employed in Panama? What are the formalities to work as a freelancer?

What are the pros and cons of this status: social security, tax system, etc.?

How is the freelance market in Panama?

Thank you in advance for sharing your experience,

Kenjee

Sorry but not sure where you are from? I can only speak as a U.S. citizen. No issues if your work is "virtual". You will have to understand your own personal tax circumstances in advance.
