I had a blast talking to Mark and learning more about the Cayman Islands. While Cayman is a great place to do business and even to live, permanent residency can be extremely difficult to obtain, as opposed to here in Panama, where I am getting residencies for people in a month total.

I have great news. After many meetings and explanations, the Panamanian government has agreed to keep the Investors Visa at a $300k Real Estate investment instead of nearly doubling the amount required, as they said they would.
